A good wine bar should serve a wide spectrum of customers from neophytes to wine aficionados, and present an ambiance that will create a lasting impression. Here, in no particular order, are the top restaurants and bars in Scottsdale where you can sip, sample and savor your favorite varietals.

Kazimierz World Wine Bar

From the hidden back entrance and gourmet small plates to a wine list that’s thousands of labels long, this speakeasy is a wine lover’s paradise. Try a wine flight or let your server help you navigate the wine list and select the best wine for your palate.

FnB Restaurant

FnB’s front-of-the-house dynamo Pavle Milic believes strongly in drinking local wine with all the flavors of the local terroir. So it’s no surprise that this small culinary delight in downtown has a wine selection offering superior varietals and vintages produced in Arizona. Sure, Arizona wineries may not be as well-known as their Napa Valley cousins, but after tasting the delicious varietals, we think you’ll be delightfully surprised. If you’re feeling adventurous, try “Pavle’s Wine Blind Date” and let him choose one for you.

LDV Wine Gallery

Located in downtown Scottsdale, this is the chic tasting room for southern Arizona’s Lawrence Duhnam Vineyards. Sample LDV’s hand-crafted, estate-grown Rhone-varietal wines in the tasting room or on one of two shaded patios. Plates of “little bites” are available to savor with your tasting. You also can browse the works of Arizona artists in the gallery or shop for unique gifts, Arizona food products and, of course, LDV’s award-winning wine.
