Now Available! Tucson Foodie’s New Wine Passport

May 25, 20252 min read

This National Wine Day (May 25) we’re thrilled to uncork a brand-new way to explore and support the incredible wineries in Southern Arizona with the Tucson Foodie Sonoita-Elgin Wine Passport!

We’ve created this passport as your personal invitation to discover the unique flavors and breathtaking landscapes offered by Sonoita/ Elgin’s talented winemakers. The Sonoita Wine Region is Arizona’s first to have earned the American Viticultural Area (AVA) designation, thanks to its rolling hills, cooler temperatures, and great wines.

Here’s a sneak peek at the incredible value waiting inside your Tucson Foodie Sonoita-Elgin Wine Passport:

  • Flying Kite Vineyard: Enjoy a complimentary tasting with the purchase of a bottle of their wine
  • Charron Vineyards: $5 off every month
  • The Meading Room: Buy-one-get-one-free tasting, plus 50% off a bottle of their unique mead
  • Deep Sky Vineyard: Free tasting when you purchase a bottle of their stellar wine
  • Twisted Union Wine Company:
    • Half-price tasting flights (featuring 5 wines) throughout the month.
    • Unlock a special 25% discount on AirBnB bookings for Tucson Foodie Members.
  • Queen of Cups: Enjoy a buy-one-get-one-free tasting three times per year
  • Los Milics Vineyards: A complimentary glass of their award-winning wine
  • Arizona Winery Tours: $20 off a tour

That’s over $150 in value, all for a one-time purchase of just $45!

Why a Tucson Foodie Sonoita-Elgin Wine Passport?

Just like we’re passionate about connecting you with Tucson’s amazing food scene, we’re excited to help you discover the exceptional world of the Sonoita Wine Region. This passport is designed to:

  • Offer exciting new ways for Tucson Foodies to experience these local Sonoita wineries. Step beyond your usual choices and discover the unique terroir and varietals of this beautiful region.
  • Provide fun, interesting, and delicious experiences. Each winery offers a unique ambiance and a taste of Southern Arizona’s viticultural landscape.
  • Connect you with the passionate people behind the wines. Learn about their craft and the stories poured into every glass, often with stunning vineyard views as your backdrop.

@Pueblovida is closing its original downtown taproom this fall, 12 years after opening, and moving next door to a larger space at 121 E. Broadway Blvd.

The new taproom will seat 100+ guests and feature 14 taps, a curated wine program and, for the first time, a restaurant. Chef Scott Girod of @Anello_pizzeria will open a new restaurant in the shared space, expected to follow the taproom’s late fall 2026 opening in early 2027.

“This taproom has always been more than four walls. It’s where we’ve celebrated milestones, introduced hundreds of new beers, watched friendships grow and built a community we’re incredibly grateful for. While we’re excited about what’s next, it’s impossible not to feel sentimental about saying goodbye to the place where it all happened.” — @Pueblovida Co-founder Linette Antillon
