For the past few years, the festival has orchestrated local wines, delicious food, artwork from all over Arizona, offbeat crafts, and live music to keep every wine enthusiast satisfied outside of the glass.
There are going to be local and regional wine tastings, hors d’oeuvres to munch on, and plenty of space to shop around and explore the arts and crafts arranged around the historic train depot.
This year’s vendors include Creative Juice Art Bar, Joseph L. Young, Pop-Cycle, Qmulative, Sigfus Designs, and Sonoran Rosie.

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.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
