Dates delight: Enjoy Valley to offer

Sip With The Somms

Speaking of Caballero, he is putting his title to the test this month along with the other best and brightest stars of the Arizona sommelier world through Somm Brawl. Every week since January, Caballero and fellow sommeliers have come together at the award-winning The Mick Brasserie in Scottsdale to try their hands at finding the perfect pairings for chef Brent Menke’s one-night-only tasting menus.

On March 13, guests are welcome to attend the final event which will determine the 2023 Somm Brawl champion. And while a program with the word “brawl” in it may not sound romantic, the epic pairings that these talented hospitality leaders come up with are like nothing else available in the region. Couple them with Menke’s Michelin-level talent? It makes for the most memorable of evenings out on the town.

Love is in the romantic adventures the Valley, including best

Take Flight

Looking for something even more outside the box? Among the best ways to create intimacy is to experience something new together. Why not try a hot air balloon ride, for example? Rainbow Ryders offers nightly sunset rides that fly couples across the vibrant Sonoran Desert and cap off the adventure with sparkling wine for two.
