Additionally, the Tucson wine event invites attendees to explore a new by-the-glass menu paired with mythological narratives. Each wine reflects a legendary figure or creature, adding depth to every pour. The experience encourages guests to engage with both flavor and folklore.

Mythology Meets Wine and Storytelling

The new menu introduces a "Mythological Creatures x Spring Menu 2026" concept. Each wine carries tasting notes tied to a specific myth or legend. For example, a white blend evokes Persephone's return to spring, while other selections channel creatures like Pegasus or the Phoenix.
