Do you...

• appreciate good food and wine?
• like to broaden your culinary experiences?
• enjoy socializing with a group of like-minded friends?
• look forward to travel opportunities to exotic locations?

Then TASTERS GUILD is the place to be!  The objective of TASTERS GUILD is simple - to promote the appreciation and responsible use of wine and food through education, specific tastings, special consumer benefits, and travel opportunities.  We achieve this objective through local chapters that are supported by an extensive network of premium retailers, restaurants, wineries, and culinary institutes.

Let's face it - there is no better way to enjoy and learn about wine and food than through personal tasting experiences.  TASTERS GUILD provides tasting opportunities to members and guests alike with local and national events as well as through special discounts.  From novice to connoisseur and everywhere in between, TASTERS GUILD has something for everyone.

We invite you to explore our website for more information on TASTERS GUILD, including membership opportunities in the Tucson area.  Come see how much fun it is to be part of a society dedicated to exploring the wonderful world of food and wine.

Established in 1987, TASTERS GUILD has grown to over 30 chapters across the United States and Canada.  It is the perfect union between consumers and the wine and food industry who all share a passion for the delightful pairing of food and wine.  In addition to supporting the local chapters, TASTERS GUILD also organizes:

• An Annual International Wine Competition of more than 2,000 newly released wines every spring
• Wine Lovers’ Annual Consumers’ Wine Competition
• Tasters Guild National Convention
• Yearly travel excursions to wine and food destinations in Europe, Australia, and the United States

TASTERS GUILD is the ultimate wine and food appreciation society.  Visit our website for more information.

The Tucson Chapter of TASTERS GUILD is the fastest growing chapter in the country, achieving Top 10 status in less than a year.  We are currently the 7th largest chapter in the country and the only chapter in Arizona.  The Tucson Tasters Guild is a non-profit organization whose sole purpose is to bring the best of Southern Arizona’s food and wine community together in celebration of our mutual passion.  Affiliations with local restaurants, specialty stores, retailers, and wineries provide the best tasting experiences to members and guests.

Our goal is to host ten events a year, from wine tastings to fine dining to winery tours.  Each event is a social occasion as well as an educational one.  Members become friends through shared experiences and common ground.  Everyone learns more about wine and food and their pairings from the events held.  Further the wine and food industry in Southern Arizona is showcased, with members and guests spreading the word about the best the area has to offer.

As a non-profit organization, TUCSON TASTERS GUILD not only provides its members with special discounts and a variety of opportunities, it also is dedicated to promoting the Southern Arizona wine and food industry.  Local retailers are referenced, local restaurants are highlighted, and Southern Arizona wineries are touted by the members who take advantage of the opportunities the chapter provides.  Everyone benefits under that scenario.
