Day 2: Retail therapy

• Stroll beneath the palms in a sprawling shopper’s paradise at Biltmore Fashion Park or Kierland Commons, and splurge on couture at Scottsdale Fashion Square.

• Take home a thoughtful gift from a local boutique such as MADE Art Boutique, downtown’s Bunky Boutique or one of these other shops selling local goods.

Day 3: Wine tours, scotch tastings, craft beer

• Tour and taste your way through Arizona’s wineries on a short day trip from Phoenix.

• If you’re not a fan of reds and whites, browse the shelves of Westin Kierland’s extensive Scotch Library, or hop on a ride with Arizona Brewery Tours to explore Phoenix's craft beer scene.
