Whole-y Wine and Dined
Something legendary landed in Tucson….
it’s a bright, shiny, new Whole Foods!
Meg and I were kindly invited to check out a preview night before the store officially opens later this week. After our little tour and taste around, I’m even more excited than I was before.
Something that sets this Whole Foods apart from the other two in Tucson: it has a legit hot bar,
juice bar
and BAR bar, with flat screen TVs, wine and local beers on tap.
I don’t think it will be difficult to convince the Pilot to hang out there with me 😉
Throughout the evening, we were thoroughly wined and dined. There were stations set up throughout the store, featuring fresh baked goods
regional fare, salads
antipasto tables with various prosciuttos, olives and cheese,
soups, mini grilled cheese sandwiches (which had caramelized onions on them… amazing)
sushi
and an entire table of goat-milk based goodies.
Sorry the pic is a little blurry. I was shaking with happiness haha.
We even got to meet a few Tucson bloggers, including Natalie (and her beautiful family!), and Kristi:
Behold the nut butter wall of justice:
I debated trying to spend the night inside -you would have found me this morning, covered in nut butter, chocolate and goat cheese, but had to come back to check out my patients 😉 The Pilot did great for his surgery and Liv was totally fine after her shot. (She screamed for a little while, but the pediatrician gave her a new book, which was the perfect post-immunization distraction)
I had a blast with my lovely date
and can’t wait to come back with the fam when it opens 🙂
Now, time to scheme a way to replicate those goat milk caramels at home…..
See ya later today <3
xoxo

Oh m goodness, locked in Whole Foods overnight would be my dream haha! That looks like such a fun event!
What a Whole Foods with a bar and t.v.’s hehe. That is awesome!!
I love WF and feel lucky to live about 10 minutes from one. I don’t go every week since it’s so easy to spend a ton, but it’s just a great shopping experience with all of the amazing products you can’t find anywhere else besides online.
Looks like an amazing time, that’s wonderful they asked you and Meg to come check it out for their special evening!!
Jealous! The closest one to us is over an hour away. 🙁
OMG. I’ve never been to a Whole Foods but after seeing your pictures I think I would like to move in! Wowee wow. Looks even better than Wegmans and I am a die hard Wegmans lover having grown up in the town where the chain originated.
Oh my goodness, that nut butter wall. Amazing.
First, you 2 look FANTASTIC in that photo! What an awesome WF!! I’ll keep wishing for one like that near me!
thank you! 🙂 i was always wishing and it finally came true haha
Meg
How do you get you fringe (bangs?) to stay like that. I have a side fringe and I can never get it looking that good!!
um where can I get me one of these?! Australia, pick up your act. Whole foods, get your butt to Aus
Cute scarf. Looks great on you 😉 I live and breathe for Whole Foods hot food and salad bars. Bummer no whole foods is close to me. We just got a sprouts but it doesn’t cut it. So nice that’s it so close to you!
