What’s actually happening.
Scottsdale's food scene has always operated behind its luxury facade. The supper clubs and private dining experiences in Old Town and North Scottsdale draw on Arizona's agricultural bounty and the city's international resident community.
Old Town's quiet supper clubs
Behind the tourist-facing galleries and resort restaurants, Old Town Scottsdale has a supper club circuit that runs on invitation and local knowledge. These private tables, in historic properties and converted studios, are the city's best dining secret.
North Scottsdale's private table
The residential communities north of Old Town host some of Arizona's most intimate dining experiences. Private chef dinners, farm-to-table events at local ranches, and exclusive supper clubs reach a discerning audience that finds them through word of mouth alone.
Arizona wine country arrives
Arizona's wine regions, Verde Valley, Sonoita, Willcox, are producing wines that Scottsdale's supper club chefs are pairing with regional food in ways the national press is starting to notice. These pairing dinners are the intersection of two emerging stories.
