A Toas t to Style FASHION DESIGNER VERA WANG’S NEWEST VENTURE? PARTY

FASHION DESIGNER VERA WANG IS KNOWN INTERNATIONALLY FOR HER BRIDAL GOWNS. Over the years, the renowned designer has branched out, adding everyday fashions, fragrances, jewelry, home products, eyewear, and more to her offerings. Now, she adds one more—PARTY, a premium Italian prosecco, which she describes as “made for celebrating life’s moments, big and small!” PARTY embodies the bright, fun, and fashion-forward side of the globally renowned designer and style icon. With the same bold spirit that transformed fashion by reimagining the bridal space, Wang turned her creativity and passion for design toward how—and what—we celebrate. “First and foremost, I am a designer, but I am also an entrepreneur and brand builder. I’ve dedicated my entire life to designing how people celebrate, and not just their weddings—from what they wear to how they entertain, from their tableaus and tablescapes, to how they live at home—and now, what they drink! PARTY is a natural extension of what I already do,” Wang says. “Why prosecco? Celebration! When I think of romance, fun, laughter, joy, friendship, I think of prosecco. It is the wine that personifies emotion and sheer happiness.” Wang’s attention to detail has shaped every step of PARTY from grape to bottle. Designed to look chic on any table, the bottle is a sleek matte silver with “PARTY” in bold neon yellow letters exuding a modern, easy sensibility. The back of the bottle features an invitation to PARTY from Vera. “This project involved input from my friends, family,

Her line is geared toward the romantic sophisticate, regardless of age. She shies away from the whimsical or Bohemian themes prevalent in the works of many bridal designers today.

HAUTE CUISINE (CONTINUED)

Rounding out the runway-ready restaurants is Talking Stick Resort’s Tash, which is pronounced TH-O-SH and means sun or day in the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community’s O’odham language. Talking Stick Resort chose this name for its newest eatery in homage to the Tribal Community and to best describe the venue, which has floor-to-ceiling windows and an expansive patio, both providing stunning views of the sun setting against Camelback Mountain. Here, as with Francine, indulge in European flavors without leaving Scottsdale. Among its signature dishes is Paella Mixta, which starts with bomba rice and saffron, both imported from Spain. They are combined with chicken stock, garlic, piquillo peppers, onion, Campari tomatoes, and spices, and simmered in a frying pan before butter, shrimp, littleneck clams, chicken, and Spanish chorizo sausage are added, then simmered again. After being garnished with olive oil, halved lemons, and Uni Bucatini at Francine. Photo by Debby Wolvos

CALIFORNIA’S FIRST WINE-MAKING GRAPES WERE PLANTED BY RUSSIAN COLONISTS IN SONOMA COUNTY IN 1812. Since then, Sonoma has grown to more than 425 wineries. Today, thanks to daily 90-minute flights from Sky Harbor Airport, it is easier than ever to plan a wine country adventure. Here is a head start to your planning. THE LODGE AT SONOMA

ABBOT’S PASSAGE Also just a short drive from The Lodge is one of Sonoma’s crown jewels in the 160-year-old Gundlach Bundschu. Rather than a glass, bottle, or even basic wine tasting, opt for the Heritage Reserve Private Tasting, a sampling of the brand’s top varietals paired with elevated small bites. And a stone’s throw is Abbot’s Passage, headed by sixth generation vintner (and Gundlach co-owner) Katie Bundschu. It is the sneaky best spot for small-lot blends sourced from storied local vineyards. Here, book the Shuffleboard Social Club and enjoy shuffleboard amid the vines. BENZIGER FAMILY WINERY & B.R.

PAMPERING FROM PARIS THE LUXURIOUS SISLEY-PARIS SPA OPENS IN SCOTTSDALE

Scottsdale Lifestyle | September 2021

THE ULTIMATE IN LUXURIOUS PAMPERING HAS ARRIVED IN SCOTTSDALE. The first full-service, Sisley-Paris Spa has opened in the Forbes Four Star Well & Being Spa at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess—yes, a spa-within-a-spa— bringing Parisian luxury to the Valley. Well & Being is already a renowned destination, offering immersive, fully customized wellness experiences including fitness, nutrition, integrative medicine, mind-body therapies, and advanced skincare. Now, the iconic locale also includes the Sisley-Paris spa, a private, six-room treatment facility, set inside the destination. Sisley also features an experience attaché (a guided journey expert) and other high touchpoints. Founded in 1976 by Hubert d’Ornano, Sisley is a French, family-owned company specializing in innovative and exceptional, high-quality cosmetic products. Sisley’s know-how is in phytotherapy and aromatherapy, using natural plant extracts and essential oils in skincare products, to guarantee immediately visible results on the skin. “We are Arizona’s largest and longest-running AAA Five Diamond resort, so it only makes sense that we would be the first to integrate Sisley-Paris into our offerings. Sisley’s focus on quality, luxury, and high-touch experiences perfectly integrates into our resort,” says Jack Miller, regional vice president and general manager of the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. As the newest, and largest addition to the global Sisley-Paris Spa portfolio, the Sisley Spa Paris at Well & Being offers a retreat inspired by the beauty and serenity of Havasupai Falls and the surrounding blooming Sonoran Desert. Guests at the luxurious locale are greeted by a Sisley attaché, who ensures a seamless service experience and memorable visit, and is the personal contact throughout their time at the spa. The services offered incorporate massage rituals from around the world, facials, and more. Aromatic oils are used exclusively with services. And as the international luxury beauty brand is a benchmark in phyto-cosmetology— sourcing the best natural plant extracts to obtain the most effective skincare results—targeted extracts and essential oils are exclusively used in services to personalize the experience. In fact, in regard to phyto-cosmetology, Sisley sources the best ingredients and analyzes them for which part (leaf, root, seed, flower, extract) and what dosage will provide most visible results. Not only do the products produce results, but they also offer aroma therapeutic benefits and an escape. This new Sisley-Paris Spa is one of only a select number spanning the globe, and is the largest in the country. Guests who visit the spa also have access to the Well & Being Spa’s facilities.
