The only bad decision would be deciding not to attend this festival.
Over in the neighboring town of Sonoita, AZ Hops & Vines is hosting its annual “Bad Decisions” Festival from 11 a.m – 10 p.m. on Saturday, August 10.
Over the last few years, AZ Hops & Vines and other Arizona wineries have joined the festival to offer some of the best tastings around, but there’s much more.
Aside from the beautiful landscape, you’ll find beer from local breweries, food trucks, a large amount of bacon to consume, live music, and an epic meteor shower.
At its peak, the Perseid meteor shower is one of the best to gaze at because it can produce up to 60 meteors per hour. What a show, right?
The campground has already filled up, but you can still get your tickets to the festival on Saturday for $25 per person — or $15 each if you’d rather not drink. Anyone 16 years old and younger gets in for free, so bring them along, too.
Each $25 ticket includes event entry, an “over 21” wristband, souvenir cup, and 10 tasting tickets. The $15 gets you into the festival, and food is purchased separately with both passes.
Another great addition to this year’s festival is that there’ll be available transportation to and from. Not driving your own vehicle to the event is quite possibly the best decision of all.
AZ Hops & Vines is located at 3450 Highway 82 in Sonoita, Arizona. For more information, call (520) 237-6556 and visit baddecisionscampout.com.

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.
