Whether it be a craft beer taproom or a tasting room offering wine or distilled spirits like whiskey, Tucson has a splendid selection. Heck, some of the following taprooms offer wine and craft beer.
Also, the following taprooms/tasting rooms don’t include local businesses that are more restaurant-forward, are local breweries (check out our other guide for that), or bars that specialize in serving all types of beverages.
The Toraño Family relocated to Arizona in 2023, opening their flagship tasting room in central Tucson. Alongside their lineup of single vineyard wines — Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet, Grenache, Petite Sirah, Syrah — A. Toraño Wines’ tasting room features other small production family-owned wines that aren’t always available in Arizona.
Plus, you can order pizza from Falora and enjoy it in the tasting room!
Nestled in the St. Philip’s Plaza, you’ll find a wine list, be it for a tasting, glass, or bottle, featuring wine from more than 20 Arizona wineries. Their unwavering dedication to only serving local wine earned Arizona Wine Collective “Certified Retailer” status under the UNESCO City of Gastronomy designation for metro Tucson.
Located next to Rocco’s Little Chicago Pizzeria, The Broadway Beer & Wine Bar exudes a chic, lounge-like atmosphere with modern decor and a moody color palette. Velvet green booths line the walls, accented by mustard yellow chairs and vintage chandeliers. A neon sign reading “The Broadway” anchors the back wall, adding a playful glow to the sophisticated setting. Additional seating is available on an atrium-style covered patio. The bar offers a wide selection of curated wines and craft beers in a relaxed yet upscale environment.
The menu features a variety of craft beer, wines, and wine cocktails.
Casa Marana features a balanced selection of beers, wine, cocktails, and some tasty pizzas. It’s wood-fired pizza — you can see the huge oven behind the bar — and are some of our favorite pies in Marana. They also maintain an exceptionally active events calendar. Out on the patio, you can catch a sweet sunset if you time it out just right.
Casa Video has gone through a few changes since then, like partitioning the building so other businesses could set up shop (Marvelous Vintage and Kira Kira). Still, the video shop has at least 50,000 movie titles in stock to accompany its 20 beers on tap and hundreds of bottles and cans in the coolers. Plus, Casa has been a big supporter of local food trucks and has arguably one of the most up-to-date calendars in Tucson.
Flying Leap Vineyards is committed to family farmers, investing in the production, bottling, and distribution of ultra-premium wine and distilled spirits grown here in the Southwest. Their Tucson tasting room is located in Plaza Palomino, and with a daily changing lineup of Italian, Spanish, and French wines, you can get a taste of the quality and care put into every bottle.
With umbrellas and misters scattered among the curated landscaping and customized metalwork, this non-traditional, family-friendly gem can be enjoyed year-round. With games like bocce ball and cornhole, a rotating menu that includes some solid vegetarian options, an impressive selection of craft cocktails and beers, and live music throughout the month, you’ll be glad you checked it out for yourself.
Located right next door to Iron John’s Brewing, GEORGE Wine Shop specializes in small production family-owned wineries. It’s nice and cozy inside the shop, too! Taste a few of the wines on hand before taking a bottle of your own home. The tasting room also hosts events featuring wines from all around the world. Mark your calendars!
The Hoppy Vine houses a row of coolers consisting of craft beer, wine, and champagne as well as wine-based cocktails, sake, seltzers, and ciders. Are you one with a penchant for non-alcoholic beverages? They’ve got you covered on that front, too, with offerings that include non-alcoholic beer, seltzers, canned mocktails, and even a “mocktail of the day.”
La Esquina Bar welcomes guests with its warm brick walls, polished concrete floors, and golden lighting that casts a soft glow throughout. Mid-century modern furnishings and artful black-and-white photography give the space a stylish, minimalist feel. Large, spherical chandeliers draw the eye upward, while greenery and emerald tile behind the bar softens the industrial edges.
The menu features a combination of beer, wine, and light Spanish-inspired bites.
Tap & Bottle’s downtown destination is more than just a bar; it’s a haven for those who appreciate a finely crafted brew and the community they share it with. An extensive selection of beers on tap and in the fridge ensures there’s something for everyone, and the fun-loving ambiance invites patrons to relax and savor their favorite pint or explore new and exciting options. They’ve got a solid calendar of events, too!
In 2017, Tap & Bottle North welcomed folks in, serving the north side of Tucson and Oro Valley. Located in Cottonwood Plaza, offers exceptional beer and wine, ample outdoor space, a private event room, and Trivia on Thursdays.
Plus, you can order food from nearby restaurants like Truland Burgers and Fentonelli’s.
Located on Tucson’s picturesque northeast side, Three Canyon is the perfect place to unwind. Enjoy live music on our large patio with sunset and mountain views, or beat the heat in their spacious dining room. They have an excellent selection of craft beer and fine wine to quench your thirst and our delicious barbecue will satisfy your hunger!
Tinajas Wine & Beer boasts a sleek, contemporary interior with plush white barstools, dramatic lighting, and lush greenery tucked into wall niches. Bold accents like a glowing purple logo add modern flair. A vertical wine rack and glass chandeliers enhance the space’s upscale, curated feel.
The menu offers an extensive wine list, beers, and a range of small bites such as charcuterie and cheeses.
Located on the bottom floor of the historic Coronado Hotel at 402 E. 9th St. (they’re not apartments), David and Johnna Meek repurposed the location as the home of their new concept, TraXide Taproom in 2023. The space most recently housed Dillinger Brewing. The concept continues to be a haven for craft beer enthusiasts, offering a diverse range of craft beer and ensuring there’s something on tap for every palate.
To many, it’s known as an escape — a place where you can enjoy a cold beer, get lost in an intriguing conversation, and catch a fresh breeze outside on the patio. They think of it as their getaway from the everyday grind. Some plainly call it “Hop Shop.” No matter what it means to you or what you tend to call it, Tucson Hop Shop is a wonderful spot to simply hang out.
Not just beer but cocktails, too! While the outdoor seating is perfect for taking advantage of Tucson’s cool nights, there’s one more notable perk — the liquor license applies to the whole MSA Annex, so guests can walk around with their libations to check out the neighboring businesses in shipping containers.
If you’re a local whiskey lover, it’s likely you’ve taken sips of this spirit at a local bar or in the comfort of your own home, but if you haven’t, there’s no better time than now to stop by their distillery to learn more, sample their current selection, and take a bottle of your own home with you
