The ninth annual Off the Vine wine festival will feature wines from more than 20 Arizona wineries.

Tickets are on sale now for the Arizona Wine Growers Association’s annual Off the Vine Arizona Wine Festival, which is moving to a new location this year.

The event will be held at Kallista Park at Medella Vina Ranch, 4450 S. Houghton Road, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Feb. 17.

Off the Vine will feature more than 20 of Arizona’s wineries, pouring their award-winning wines alongside local food trucks, live music, local artists and a variety of other vendors with Arizona-made wares.

β€œAs one of our most highly attended festivals, we have outgrown the original location and are looking forward to being at Kallista Park, which still offers amazing views and more space along with the amazing wineries we always have in attendance,” said Kris Pothier, president of the AWGA and owner of Chateau Tumbleweed.

The event was previously held at Steam Pump Ranch in Oro Valley.

The ninth annual Off the Vine wine festival will be held Feb. 17 at Kallista Park, 4450 S. Houghton Road.

Music will be from What’s The Big Idea Jazz Trio, Jennifer McMillan, Lexa Raquel and Los Gatos Locos.

Early bird tickets are $35 per person and include a commemorative glass with eight wine-tasting tickets. They are available through offthevineaz.com.

VIP tickets, only available online, are $60, which include the early bird benefits, plus a commemorative six-bottle wine tote, four additional tasting tickets and a welcome mimosa.

Tickets will also be available at the gate on the day of the event for $45 per person.
