Walked across the street from Merkin on our way to another winery. Saw LTV and were pleasantly surprised at how cute it was inside and Deanna was super friendly and answered all of our questions! So glad we saw it!

Place was ok, outside seating available so you are able to people watch folks on the street. We got the robust red flight, all 3 had a good flavor, although the 2015 Sky Island Petite Sirah was our least favorite, and had a LOT of sediment in the pour we received. Our favorite was the 2016 Petite Sirah, which we have a slight nod to over the 2016 "The Signature" Petite Sirah.

Location is prime. The wines are pleasant, if unremarkable, but the experience is overall very basic, even primitive. They can’t even get you a glass of sparkling water, or even club soda. This photo is how they serve tap water.They need to up their game. By quite a lot.

It was a lovely day out so an outside patio for some wine tasting was a must do. There are a few options for wine tasting in the area, but this location was perfect as it is a quick stroll from fashion square and all of the cute shops lining the streets of old town. The staff were all very sweet and checked in on us often. As expected for old town Scottsdale there were also many parties rolling by on the champagne train and party bikes which made the experience fun.

This is such a cute little tasting room! Victor was the best!! He talked to us about where the wine came from, sites to see while we were in town, and Scottsdale in general. He made us feel so welcomed and connected with our group seamlessly. As for the wine, we got the LDV flight. I was leaning toward the light flight but followed suit at his recommendation and that was a great call! I usually really like viognier but found that it was my least favorite of the flight. The reds offered were more my speed. The location of LDV made for great people watching while also being comfortably in the shade on a busy corner. We could see the party buses, animal scooters, and even a dog in a backpack on a motorcycle. Great experience

Enjoyed a delicious flight of wine while sitting on the patio. Our server was very knowledgeable and gave a great insight to the wine list.

Lisa did a 4 wine tasting. My flight included the rhyolite, rose grenade, Syrah, and petit Syrah. All the wines were easy drinking and not super oaky. A nice patio area with the live music carrying over from the nearby square. The staff here were super nice, and it seemed like a popular place for a girls' day out. They even had some nifty holders to help them bring out the flights. It's good to try what Arizona has to offer. Would like to see then use real glasses for water instead of single use cups as they are using glassware for the wine anyway.

Victor, Liza, and Deanna were so helpful! Victor is very new to being a wine concierge but he is still very knowledgeable and fun to chat with. The staff did a great job taking care of us; they had fantastic recommendations and the pours in our tasting flight were well spaced-out. The wines were delicious! My favorite was the 2016 signature petite Syrah. The outdoor seating is very nice, but a little loud from the street and the pedal-bike-bars. The location is great! Lots of shops nearby to walk to and restaurants as well!

We tried the red wine flight with the deeper, richer reds and it was delicious. We liked all three samples that we tasted and felt the prices were reasonable. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. Patio seating was pleasant and fairly comfortable.
Probably THE best winery in Scottsdale! The owner is very nice and welcoming, very knowledgeable as well. She suggested a few wines, kept checking in on us. There is inside as well as outside seating, it was a bit hot midday and she turned on the misters for us which made all the difference. The outside area is very nice to sit outside and enjoy a wine flight

I was in town for a girls trip/reunion and we did a mini wine tour in old town Scottsdale. LDV was our first stop. The visit was well worth it. Upon arrival we were immediately seated in a cozy comfy area that provided us with some privacy . We opted to do some tastings and Deanna was able to mix & match the tastings to everyone's liking. We liked their wine choices (a few of us shipped some home home) and the hospitality. This is a must if you're ever in the area.

Our group of 6 was disappointed in the wine tastings- we actually all left some wine in our glasses. The staff was friendly, but unfortunately we waited a very long time for service and our bill. Had we enjoyed our wines, we would have had a different experience. For the cost, the service, and the quality/taste of the wines, we would not return.

My wife and I first learned of LDV Winery at the DC Steakhouse in Chandler in 2021. We had stopped in for a meal and ordered the only petite sirah on the wine list. They brought out the 2014 LDV Signature Petite Sirah, which was delicious. Since it was 7 years old, I asked the server if they had to pull it out of a corner and clean the dust from the bottle. They told me it had been delivered to the restaurant only a month earlier. Since it was so tasty, my wife and I decided to seek out a tasting room that carried the LDV wines. We found the winery’s tasting room in downtown Scottsdale right away.Visiting that tasting room, we found that the wines that were in release were all several years old. Curt and Peggy’s philosophy is to age their wines at the winery and release them when they are ready to drink. From the time of release, the wines will last several more years, if handled with care. Unlike many wineries, LDV wines are made to improve with age and the winery starts the aging by holding on to the wines until they are ready to drink.We also joined the wine club at the tasting room, for the steady supply of excellent wine and the special events. Most recently, we attended a food and wine pairing event, where Peggy prepared several small plates for the attendees and described the recipe, preparation, and how the paired wine was chosen. The food was delicious and the paired wines went with each dish perfectly!If you are in the Scottsdale neighborhood, I highly recommend visiting the tasting room.
