Arizona’s favorite wine celebration returns next year with new energy and a new location. The Off the Vine Wine Festival will take place Saturday, February 21, 2026, at James D. Kriegh Park in Oro Valley.
A Fresh Setting for a Tucson-Area Tradition
This year’s festival moves to one of Oro Valley’s most scenic parks. Ranch House Media and Pour Amor now produce the event, bringing their experience from TENWEST Festival, VIVA PHX, and Tucson City of Gastronomy’s Pueblos del Maíz.
The Arizona Wine Growers Association hosts the festival each year to spotlight the state’s rapidly growing wine industry and community. Visitors can sip, stroll, and meet the winemakers shaping Arizona’s reputation as a top wine destination.

Guests will enjoy a day of wine, music, and food under the desert winter sun. The festival will feature:
- A diverse lineup of food vendors curated in partnership with Tucson Foodie
- Live music throughout the day
- Family-friendly activities and artisan market vendors
