Apple Annie’s Orchard Celebrates Grandparents Day
We all cherish grandma’s homemade goodies and endless undivided attention as well as grandpa’s life lessons. So former President Jimmy Carter decided to honor the nanas and papas of the world by declaring the second Sunday in September a national holiday—otherwise known as National Grandparent’s Day. To pay homage to all their good doings, spend the day at Apple Annie’s Orchard—a Southern treasure many Tucsonans look forward to.
Elle Wine Country Restaurant
Locally owned and operated, Elle Restaurant is the first and only wine country concept eatery to open in Tucson for some 10 years. (Yup, you read right.) So, how is it that this culinary masterpiece has been kept hush-hush for so long?
Hidden Meadow Ranch Winemaker Dinner
If you’re craving a weekend of cooler temps, a change in scenery, and some fantastic food and wine, visit Greer’s Hidden Meadow Ranch this Saturday, Aug. 29 for the Hidden Meadow Ranch Winemaker Dinner with guest chef Joel Harrington of the Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain.
Happy Anniversary to Tucson’s Jax Kitchen!
It seems that over the past year or two, restaurant and shop closings have become the norm. Finally, we have a reason to celebrate success! Jax Kitchen, which opened last August on the northeast corner or Ina and Oracle (and has already become one of Tucson’s favorite restaurants), is celebrating their one-year anniversary this month. There’s only one week left in August, so be sure you plan a visit to Jax Kitchen before the week is over for a stellar deal and special menu items.
Tucson’s Wine Country
As summer nears its end and children head back to school, some parents try to finagle a little time away, alone with each other.
With California at our doorstep and its breathtaking northern region a jet ride away, a weekend in Sonoma’s wine region doesn’t seem that far off. But, what if you didn’t have to travel that far? In fact, Arizona is known to grow a large variety of grapes that include cabernet sauvignon, merlot, syrah, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and sangiovese right in our very backyard. Now that’s worth toasting to.
