Aridus Wine Company Tasting Room 7173 East Main Street, Scottsdale, AZ 85251

"Love to do wine tasting. Have done it all over the country. The charges for tasting $20 to $25 for 4 pours might be okay if there was any kind of interaction. The wine is very good but the best tasting experience involves hearing about the wine and process of making it, comparing vintages and generally sharing the tasting with the experts. This is what we experienced 2 years ago. Not today. Pour and be gone. Very disappointing. Felt bad about not tipping but the tasting fee was excessive enough. There was no interaction that was tip worthy. Between the 3 of us, we could have compared the differences between the vintages of the same wines and suggested that to hopefully get some kind of interaction with our host. Not happening. Went to Carlson, Salvatore and had wonderful experiences. And bought more wine. Aridus disappointed."

"We had a wonderful experience and the guy working was an absolute gem! So helpful, nice, welcoming, and genuinely just wanted you to enjoy the wine and have a positive experience."

"We had the most amazing experience! We stopped in for some pre-dinner wine, and we ended up having the highlight of our trip. Not only was the wine very good and the tasting was fun. But we cannot say enough good things about Jen. She waited on us hand and foot and quickly became a friend. We were sad to leave and have to say goodbye to her! I would recommend coming to Aridus for anyone."

"Classy wine bar in Old Town Scottsdale. Lots to love about Airdus- lovely ambience, the live music, nice wines and the best service! Came with friends, we thought would be a quick wine tasting but stayed for a few hours for the beautiful live music by Dante and more wine. We had a lovely time here, enjoyed chatting with the staff as they were all so nice & knowledgeable about the wines. This place is a real gem!"
