Here’s to another year of tasty wine pouring out of Sonoita, Arizona.
In order to convince Mother Nature to respect the crops, Sonoita Vineyards is hosting their 43rd annual Blessing festival from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 10.
The blessing takes place at noon with Father Greg Adolf and his Clergy Gang, but there’s more going on throughout the day. For example, you’ll get a healthy dose of live music, food and wine tastings, coffee by Sonoita Coffee Roasters, souvenir glasses, and savings at other vineyards in the area.
Food will be provided by Las Vigas and Happy Cookers Catering.
Tickets are $15 per person and that includes four tastings and a souvenir wine glass.
Sonoita Vineyards has more than 30 acres of vines and produces unforgettable wines, like Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, and many others.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
