Flying Leap Vineyards and Distillery is taking a trip to Hotel McCoy for wine tastings from 7 – 10 p.m. on Wednesday, February 6.
If you’ve never been to the Hotel McCoy, it fully represents Tucson with its murals from local artists, craft beer, culinary options, and is now offering a unique experience with wines from Flying Leap.
Throughout the evening you’ll be able to taste the vineyard’s wine, but also learn a bit about the winemaking process. The small farm winery is based in the heart of Arizona’s scenic wine country just south of Tucson, so it’s a treat to meet the group and learn about their 18 different grape varieties.
Hotel McCoy’s full bar will also be open.
Parking is limited at the hotel but there’s street parking and a few transportation options in Uber, Lyft, and other forms of rideshares to get you there and back.
Hotel McCoy is located at 720 W. Silverlake Rd. For more information, call (844) 782-9622 or visit Hotel McCoy’s Facebook event page.

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.
