Now Available! Tucson Foodie’s New Wine Passport

May 25, 20252 min read

This National Wine Day (May 25) we’re thrilled to uncork a brand-new way to explore and support the incredible wineries in Southern Arizona with the Tucson Foodie Sonoita-Elgin Wine Passport!

We’ve created this passport as your personal invitation to discover the unique flavors and breathtaking landscapes offered by Sonoita/ Elgin’s talented winemakers. The Sonoita Wine Region is Arizona’s first to have earned the American Viticultural Area (AVA) designation, thanks to its rolling hills, cooler temperatures, and great wines.

Here’s a sneak peek at the incredible value waiting inside your Tucson Foodie Sonoita-Elgin Wine Passport:

  • Flying Kite Vineyard: Enjoy a complimentary tasting with the purchase of a bottle of their wine
  • Charron Vineyards: $5 off every month
  • The Meading Room: Buy-one-get-one-free tasting, plus 50% off a bottle of their unique mead
  • Deep Sky Vineyard: Free tasting when you purchase a bottle of their stellar wine
  • Twisted Union Wine Company:
    • Half-price tasting flights (featuring 5 wines) throughout the month.
    • Unlock a special 25% discount on AirBnB bookings for Tucson Foodie Members.
  • Queen of Cups: Enjoy a buy-one-get-one-free tasting three times per year
  • Los Milics Vineyards: A complimentary glass of their award-winning wine
  • Arizona Winery Tours: $20 off a tour

That’s over $150 in value, all for a one-time purchase of just $45!

Why a Tucson Foodie Sonoita-Elgin Wine Passport?

Just like we’re passionate about connecting you with Tucson’s amazing food scene, we’re excited to help you discover the exceptional world of the Sonoita Wine Region. This passport is designed to:

  • Offer exciting new ways for Tucson Foodies to experience these local Sonoita wineries. Step beyond your usual choices and discover the unique terroir and varietals of this beautiful region.
  • Provide fun, interesting, and delicious experiences. Each winery offers a unique ambiance and a taste of Southern Arizona’s viticultural landscape.
  • Connect you with the passionate people behind the wines. Learn about their craft and the stories poured into every glass, often with stunning vineyard views as your backdrop.

The grand opening is TODAY, Oct. 8! 🎉

@istanbultucson is expanding with a second location, @istanbulmediterraneanexpress, at 5660 W. Cortaro Farms Rd. 

The fast-casual spot will feature about 75% of the original location’s menu, plus two exclusive dishes: build-your-own Turkish stuffed baked potatoes, known as Kumpir, and fresh-ground doner made in-house. The falafel plate and stuffed potatoes can also be made vegan. 

“The first restaurant taught us what our customers love most, so at Cortaro we’re focusing the menu around our most popular dishes while making the experience a little more casual and convenient. Most importantly, we’ve learned that no matter how much we grow, the quality of our food has to stay high every single day.” — Kamran Esar

Daily hours: 11am - 9pm
