As the Desert Botanical Garden celebrates its 33rd year of Las Noches de las Luminarias, we invite you to join us for one of the Valley’s longest and most unique holiday events. Each night of Luminaria, the Garden comes to life with the soft glow from more than 8,000 handlit luminaria bags. As you walk the paths with a warm cup of cider, the sounds of handbells ringing and Dickens Carolers singing remind you of what the season is all about. Make plans with family and friends to attend this year’s Las Noches de las Luminarias.
Enjoy a wine flight Purchase wine by the glass or bottle, or enjoy a wine flight at our seasonal Retail Wine Store.
