Merkin Vineyards Old Town Scottsdale

Best wine in old town Scottsdale. Best pizza in old town Scottsdale. Best pasta in old town Scottsdale.

Chef Steve is a wizard, the guy should be on Iron Chef. Everything he creates and plates is grown fresh at the vineyards or sourced locally before being hand-delivered to the kitchen. Very creative and tasty options for all appetites that change with the seasons, check out the pics and try not to drool…

Jim, the GM, is very on top of the business and takes great pride in the experiences of patrons. It’s the most reliable service in Scottsdale. He hires people who are super knowledgeable about wine and are fun to be around.

So yeah, go eat and drink there immediately.

Second time coming here and it was even better than the first time !!!! As soon as we walked in it was busy and packed but we still managed to grab a table and we were immediately greeted by Anthony, he was incredibly genuine and friendly and made the experience so enjoyable !! There was only two workers in the front with a packed place and he still managed to take the time and help us out, he was incredibly attentive not only to us but to everyone in the restaurant. Truly an amazing worker with great work ethic, and even better customer service !!!!! It was absolutely amazing. Great ambiance and food followed by remarkable employees like Anthony and Luis that made it so special!!

The servers here are sooo nice! I also never liked dry wine so much before I tried their wines! Very easy to drink. Highly recommend doing taste testing, if you're ever in Scottsdale I highly recommend trying this place out!

Local wine tasting spot with a good atmosphere. A very healthy selection of local wines and very knowledgeable staff to help you find something that fits your palette. The atmosphere is very good. It does have an edge to it. This edge gives it a fun unique feel from other wine bars. For example, the music that was playing was heavy metal. Like Real heavy metal. This is not music I would listen to on my own. BUT it so went with the vibe of the bar. We unfortunately did not dine.Fellow patrons seated next to us were and it looked amazing. Next time we drink and DINE!

Good place. Wine tasty with the music of the owner playing in the background. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the bacon wrapped dates and wine. Next time will enjoy more of the menu. Service very good and place clean and comfortable.
