Paradise Valley

Elements is the real deal — a hotel restaurant that actually takes wine seriously, with the credentials and the staff to back it up. If you're eating in Paradise Valley and want a proper bottle of California Cabernet with your dry-aged beef, this is the room.

Lon's at the Hermosa has earned its Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence and then some — this is a thoughtfully curated, deeply stocked list with genuine personality, anchored by a sommelier team that actually knows what's in the cellar. Markups can sting, but the experience around the bottle makes it worth it for a special night out.
