Guide to 15+ Tucson bottle shops to grab beer & wine to-go

Sep 4, 20194 min read

Want the booze without the bar? Grab some bottles and cans to-go.

While grocery stores will have your 24-packs of cheap beer, local bottle shops around Tucson carry a curated selection of craft beers and exquisite wines. And you can bet these local shops will have more knowledgeable staff than the grocery chain clerk.

Here are our picks for local bottle shops to grab beer and wine.

More details on Tucsonfoodie.com #tucson #tucsonfoodieTwo days at @Hiltonelcon felt like the ultimate staycation. Between the pools, hot spring and cold plunge, water slide, yoga, live music, complimentary bike rentals, and their nostalgic “Summer Rewind” experience, there was always something to do. We never left the resort. 

The highlight at their on-site restaurant, Epazote Kitchen & Cocktails, was the Pollo Con Rajas - perfectly cooked chicken over a rich creamed poblano, onion, and corn mestizaje. And if you’re at their Sundance Café for breakfast, get the pozole. It’s made from a family recipe that became such a guest favorite it earned a permanent spot on the menu. 

Although El Conquistador licenses the Hilton brand, it’s owned and operated by a local company. The culinary team sources much of its meat and produce from Arizona. 

Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or just looking for an incredible dinner with Catalina Mountain views, this spot is worth adding to your list. 🌵🌞
