E. McDowell Mountain Ranch Rd., Ste. 100 — Planned Wine Bar And Patio
A new wine bar is pouring into North Scottsdale, and it’s bringing a patio with McDowell Mountains views along with it. Turquoise Wine Bar is expanding with a new location at 10405 E. McDowell Mountain Ranch Road, Suite 100, and the business is scheduled to open its doors next week, with a grand opening celebration planned for November 20.

Plans call for a dog-friendly patio overlooking the McDowell Mountains, a feature that fits neatly with the indoor space and outdoor patio with mountain views described in the new location’s own rollout, as reported by WhatNow. That same September report said owner and operator Ariel Sheely was targeting a late October or early November opening, a target earlier than the November 20, 2026, grand opening.
Sheely, who completed Level 2 wine education through the Wine and Spirit Education Trust, will operate the new North Scottsdale location. She described the venue as a place for people to relax, connect, celebrate, and make memories, per WhatNow’s report. Turquoise Wine Bar co-founders Jen Sinconis and Laura Hernandez said the North Scottsdale location is a suitable next step for the chain, adding that Sheely shares their passion for a welcoming, community-focused experience.

Turquoise Wine Bar will offer boutique wines, small plates, sandwiches and other dishes, along with flatbreads, paninis, salads and shareable bites, the station’s report notes. The wine program itself draws from global regions, small producers and unique varietals, with tasting flights and a wine-dining experience rounding out the offerings…
