Vineyard Ventures: An Exclusive Tasting Journey with Flying Leap Vineyards & Distillery

This event has already taken place

About

Nestled in the heart of Arizona’s wine country, Flying Leap Vineyards & Distillery in Elgin is a testament to the art of winemaking and the pursuit of distilling excellence. With a commitment to vertical integration, this vineyard controls the entire process from the cultivation of grapes to the bottling of their unique spirits and wines.

Their diverse portfolio, which ranges from robust reds to aromatic whites and refined spirits, reflects the rich terroir of their Arizona vineyards. Flying Leap is more than just an Arizona winery; it’s a destination where the spirit of innovation meets the tradition of viticulture, offering you a taste of the Southwest’s finest in every glass.

With selections curated personally by Mark, you’ll enjoy a welcome martini cocktail and charcuterie, followed by a guided tour where you’ll learn from Mark all about the wine and distillery processes.

You’ll enjoy six tastings from your German-made stemmed wine glass while savoring Chef Brett’s menu: An Arizona-influenced chicken version of the classic French picnic sandwich from the Provence region, Pan Bagnet (Bathed Bread); a butter lettuce salad featuring gouda cheese, spiced pecans, and dried fruits; and from Italy’s Piedmont region, a sweet finish with Baci di Dama (Lady’s Kisses) hazelnut cookies.

Tucson’s Greek dining scene offers spanakopita, slow-roasted lamb, and fresh-baked baklava across the city. This guide focuses on kitchens that cook Greek food as their core identity rather than Mediterranean restaurants with Greek dishes.

Whether you want a quick lunch near campus or a long dinner with friends, this guide points you to Greek cooking. 

Make sure to stop by the @Tucsongreekfestival at Jácome Plaza this Friday, Nov. 6 – Saturday, Nov. 7!
