Enjoy the taste of locally sourced ingredients, colorful fresh produce, and food crafted with care with a trip to Mesa.

You’ll find wineries, craft breweries, fresh ingredients, restaurants, farms, agritourism destinations, and more throughout the trail.

From your peripheral vision, the saguaro cacti wave at you with their plethora of prickly arms, welcoming you to Arizona. You feel humbly small and mortal standing next to one of these giganti cacti. They can grow over 40 feet tall and their lifespan often exceeds 150 years of age.

As you’re driving, your stomach rumbles with hunger. Fret not, because you’ll feel satiated for the duration of your Arizonian adventures. Food-lovers will feast finely as they finesse their way through

Arizona’s Fresh Foodie Trail®, which allows travelers and locals alike to explore some of the area’s tastiest options.
