An Arizona-based food, beverage and travel writer since 2008, I launched this website in 2015 to document my culinary adventures, beverage escapades, gardening endeavors, and travel in the Phoenix area and beyond. Also find a comprehensive calendar of Phoenix-area food and drink-related events on my Events page.
On September 24, Colleen’s Dream will host its third annual Cocktails & Couture event with a celebration of women’s health, the latest fashion trends, craft cocktails and local culinary fare. Cocktails & Couture will be held at 7 p.m. at a private estate nestled on the north side of Mummy Mountain in Paradise Valley. The venue boasts an exclusive atmosphere and expansive views of the Valley that stretch beyond Cave Creek.
Cocktails & Couture will be elevated this year by partnerships with Saks 5th Avenue and Rattle & Rum cocktail catering – the minds behind Arizona Cocktail Week. New Phoenix restaurant, The Park, will donate the catering and Pedal Haus Brewery is supplying the beer. The event will feature Ford models wearing the latest men’s and women’s fashions, classic and creative cocktails from some of the best mixologists in Arizona, along with an exciting silent auction and raffle. Event sponsors include, Barrow Neurological Institute, Fidelity National Title and Valley Toyota Dealers.
*Admission price includes heavy hors d'oeuvres provided by The Park, beer from Pedal Haus, Tito's Handmade Vodka cocktails, Casamigo's, No 209 Gin, Jefferson's Bourbon cocktails and a gift bag from Saks! *Must be 21+ to attend. ** Cocktail or fashionable attire. *** Because this is a private residence on the top of Mummy Mountain, we kindly request that attendees plan to Uber or take a car service. Parking will also be available at Cherokee Elementary: 8801 N. 56th St, Paradise Valley, AZ 85253. Transportation to and from the venue will run continuously throughout the evening, thanks to our event partner, MyUSADriver.
