AJ’s Fine Foods proudly presents AJ’s The Art of Wine: Summer to Impress. This year, the annual wine tasting is elevated into a stylish summer soirée, inspired by the colors, flavors, and effortless elegance of the season.
Guests are invited to explore a curated selection of spring and summer wines, paired with garden-inspired sweet and savory combinations that highlight the very roots of taste. Savor gourmet specialties from AJ’s—including chef-prepared sample entrees and desserts—and receive expert pairing advice from AJ's in-house cellar masters. Between tastings, discover a silent auction offering exceptional wines, elaborate gift baskets, culinary accessories, and more from AJ’s and its partners.
To fully embrace the summer spirit, guests are encouraged to dress in their best warm-weather attire—bold colors, light linens, and vibrant accessories—to match the festive ambiance. All proceeds benefit the diverse artistic and educational programs of Scottsdale Arts, including Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA), Scottsdale Public Art, Scottsdale Arts Learning & Innovation, Canal Convergence, Civic Center LIVE, and Scottsdale Arts @ Cattle Track.
