Michael Dorf has long been at the cutting edge of entertainment, creating City Winery and Knitting Factory. Now, City Winery — a notable music venue, restaurant, and winery — is scheduled to open its first Southwest location in late 2027 at the 26-acre entertainment district The Sydney.
The Sydney in Scottsdale is an $80 million, 26-acre entertainment and mixed-use development project developed by Palmer Development Group.
