Join us every Tuesday evening in LON's unique underground wine cellar for a one of kind culinary experience.

LON's wine cellar delivers with the renowned "Trust Menu". A five course "Trust Menu" is delivered in which the guest leaves their selections for the evening completely up to the executive chef. With the executive chef handling the food, our very own Sommelier will pair each course with a different wine to complete the meal. This event is one that is sure to leave those who attend with gratifying thoughts about their evening. Please contact LON's for reservations and further information at 602-955-7878.

A great bottle of wine is an artistic expression of terroir, varietal character and the winemaker's passion. We have selected wines from around the globe, showcasing small artisan producers as well as the world's most famous estates for our distinctive wine list. In that tradition, LON's sommelier would like to invite you to join him for this year's season of our Winemaker Dinner program. Throughout the year, LON's has invited several vintners throughout the globe to display their wine making talents by pairing their vintages with the Artful American cuisine.
