Vineyards in the Valley just may be the Valley’s ultimate wine-tasting event.
The popular event returns on Dec. 6 from 4:30-7:30 p.m. in the Charro Lodge and surrounding breezeway (Gate A) at Scottsdale Stadium, the Spring Training home of the San Francisco Giants. An after-party will take place at Amelia’s.
The unique experience features more than 75 ultra-premium, highly allocated wines from some of the most prestigious wineries in the Napa and Sonoma regions, curated gourmet food pairings, live entertainment, and a charity auction, all in support of lifesaving health services for women and children in southern Haiti.
MAIN EVENT
At the main event at Scottsdale Stadium, sample a lineup of wines from boutique vineyards and spirits companies, as well as gourmet bites crafted to complement and enhance the wine-tasting experience.
CHARITY SILENT AUCTION AND RAFFLE
Bid on rare wines, luxury getaways, and curated experiences with all of the proceeds supporting Hope for Haiti.
VIP DINNERS
In addition to the main tasting event and after party, VIP wine dinners take place in the days leading up to the event at some of Scottsdale’s finest restaurants, including Bourbon Steak (Dec. 3), The Mick Brasserie (Dec. 3), Hearth ’61 (Dec.4), CATCH Scottsdale (Dec. 4), and COURSE (Dec. 5). The dinners offer guests an exclusive opportunity to experience intimate, multi-course pairings with featured winemakers.
HOPE FOR HAITI
All proceeds benefit healthcare programs delivered by Hope for Haiti, a 4-star Charity Navigator-rated nonprofit with a 36-year track record of impact. Funds raised will help expand access to breast and cervical cancer screenings, maternal nutrition support, and free essential medicines for vulnerable women and families in rural communities across southern Haiti.
“Our guests will experience an unforgettable evening of winemaking excellence, community spirit, and global purpose,” says co-organizer Ricky Palmer, who curates the winery lineup and runs the event with Skyler Badenoch, CEO of Hope for Haiti. “There’s nothing else like this in Arizona, and we’re proud to build on the momentum from last year to make an even greater impact in 2025.”
Palmer and Badenoch are both Scottsdale natives and childhood friends of more than 40 years. They created the event as a celebration of friendship, philanthropy, and global impact.
