Reds, whites and Balloon Fiesta Park.
That about sums up the Harvest Wine Festival, which is giving wine enthusiasts a chance to sample offerings from more than a dozen local wineries.
The three-day event, which popped the cork Saturday and runs through the Labor Day holiday on Monday, is taking place at the park.
Along with wine samplings, the event features live music, paint and sips, games, crafts vendors and food trucks. The event is strictly 21 and older. Sorry, no dogs.
Discount codes for Lyft and Uber rides can be found on the event's Facebook page.
