SCOTTSDALE, AZ / ACCESS Newswire / August 22, 2025 / Vineyards in the Valley, Scottsdale's premier wine-tasting experience with a mission, returns on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at Scottsdale Stadium. This one-of-a-kind event will feature wines from over 60 ultra-premium, highly allocated wineries across acclaimed regions around the world, curated gourmet food pairings, entertainment, and a charity auction - all in support of life-saving health services for women and children in southern Haiti.

In addition to the main tasting event, private VIP wine dinners will take place in the days leading up to the event at some of Scottsdale's finest restaurants, including Course, Francine, and Bourbon Steak, offering guests an exclusive opportunity to experience intimate, multi-course pairings with featured winemakers.

All proceeds will benefit healthcare programs delivered by Hope for Haiti, a 4-star Charity Navigator-rated nonprofit with a 36-year track record of impact. Funds raised will help expand access to breast and cervical cancer screenings, maternal nutrition support, and free essential medicine for vulnerable women and families in rural communities across southern Haiti.
