Though the Arizona vineyards and wineries are a short drive from Tucson, some of the best are making a stop in downtown Tucson.

Rejoice in Arizona wine and local art at the second annual Grapes to Glass: Art & Wine Festival 6 – 9 p.m. on Saturday, October 29 on the Maynards Market & Kitchen patio.

Wines from nine vineyards and wineries will be available for sampling along with some light bites.

The G.O.A.T. (Glassblowing on a Trailer) from Sonoran Glass School will feature live glassblowing. Custom made, hand-blown artisanal wine glasses made at their non-profit studios will be available for sale. Additionally, guests can also pay to make their own wine glass on the G.O.A.T. alongside one of the instructors.
