Mind-blowing flavors from across the globe have landed in southeast Arizona through the many refugees who fell in love with the area and have made this welcoming community their home. Another key ingredient to the area’s flavor profile is the land itself. The special nature of the Sonoran Desert comes through with every sip and every bite. Try mesquite-smoked whiskey, chile-spiced coffee, prickly pear glazed ribs, or bread, pasta, and pastries made from native seeds and grains. When you go to a restaurant or go out for a drink in our area, you know exactly where you are.

From authentic Mexican spots, Italian pizza, BBQ ribs, and food trucks to our chef-driven, farm-to-table restaurants. From the local wineries, craft breweries, and distilleries to the classic dive bars and local theater. No matter how you slice it, Tubac and the surrounding areas do dining and nightlife just a little bit differently.

Whether inside or outdoors, summer, winter, fall, or spring there are plenty of great things Southern Arizona has to offer. You’ll find stylish boutiques, sophisticated dining options, and family-friendly activities and events. 

For an outdoor adventure like no other, look no further. A mecca for birders, this area is also a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, nature lovers, cyclists, and hiking fans alike. Patagonia and Pina Blanco Lake are destinations for kayakers, SUP’s and fisherman. Our historic sites, museums, and cultural festivals capture this history and look toward our future.
