Scottsdale residents will gain a new wine‑focused dining spot next week as Turquoise Wine Bar prepares to open its North Scottsdale location on Friday, November 20. The venue at 10405 E McDowell Mountain Ranch Road, Suite 100, will combine an indoor wine bar, a bottle shop and an outdoor patio that offers mountain views, giving locals a relaxed setting to enjoy wine and food.
According to WhatNow, the new space will feature a curated selection of boutique wines from global producers and unique varietals, alongside a menu of elevated small plates, flatbreads, paninis, salads and other shareable bites designed to complement the wine offerings. The bottle shop will provide discounts of up to 35% on bottles purchased for takeaway, and guests can sample wines through tasting flights and themed education sessions.
The location will be managed by Ariel Sheely, who has completed Level 2 wine education through the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET). In a statement, Sheely said, “It’s about creating a place where people can relax, connect, celebrate, and make memories. I’m incredibly excited to bring this experience to North Scottsdale and welcome our neighbors into a space that truly feels like their own.” Co‑founders Jen Sinconis and Laura Hernandez added that Sheely’s passion for a community‑focused experience makes the new venue a “perfect next step” for the brand in the area.
Turquoise Wine Bar also invites patrons to join Club Turquoise, a monthly wine club that offers hand‑selected wines, special pricing, complimentary tastings and other exclusive benefits. The club aims to foster a community of wine enthusiasts through educational events and opportunities to connect with fellow diners.
Local business leaders see the opening as a boost to the neighborhood’s dining scene and an attraction for both residents and visitors seeking a refined yet approachable wine‑dining experience. The venue’s blend of indoor comfort, outdoor scenery and a focus on small‑producer wines aligns with Scottsdale’s growing demand for upscale yet casual gathering places.
What’s next: The grand celebration on November 20 will mark the official opening, after which the restaurant will operate daily with a full menu and wine list. Residents can explore the wine club membership and upcoming tasting events by visiting the bar’s website or following its social‑media channels.
