The SAVOR Southern Arizona Food and Wine Festival, arguably one of Southern Arizona’s best gourmet food and wine festivals, is back on Saturday, January 28 from noon – 3 p.m.
Now in its eighth year, after being on a two-year hiatus due to COVID, the festival will celebrate the largest local gathering of restaurants, chefs, breweries, wine, and specialty food purveyors at the lush and historic Tucson Botanical Gardens.
“We look forward to highlighting our regional cuisine, and providing an opportunity for our community to come together to spend a day experiencing local foods and recipes in one of our region’s most serene settings, at the Tucson Botanical Gardens,” said Kate Marquez, Executive Director of SAACA.
What to expect
The Festival will bring together stars of Tucson’s culinary scene with acclaimed regional chefs, wine and spirits experts, and local Heritage Foods movement leaders.
You’ll find interactive cooking stations, the opportunity to engage with local chefs, live music, art experiences, a signature event raffle, and admission to the Tucson Botanical Gardens. Stroll the gardens while visiting local restaurant booths and exhibitors offering epicurean delights and premiere wine and cocktail samples.
General Admission Tickets are $100 each and are available now for purchase (it’s a 21 and over event).
Each ticket includes menu and libations samplings from local chefs, restaurants, wineries, breweries, distilleries, and food purveyors. Also, these are expected to completely sell out soon so don’t dawdle and this would make a wonderful gift idea, too!
