🌴 A Date with Arizona: Brunch & the Sphinx Date Experience

Join us for a fun Arizona-themed outing as we enjoy a delicious brunch followed by a visit to one of the Valley's sweetest hidden gems!

We'll begin at 11:00 a.m. with brunch at The Eleanor, a beautiful, stylish restaurant known for its inviting atmosphere, creative menu, and delicious brunch favorites. It's the perfect place to relax, catch up with friends, and enjoy a leisurely meal before our afternoon adventure. Brunch is paid individually at the restaurant.

After brunch, we'll head to Sphinx Date Company & Palm Pantry, an iconic Arizona destination with a rich history dating back to the early days of date farming in the Valley. We'll enjoy a presentation about the history of the company and Arizona's date industry, a delicious date sample, and treat ourselves to one of their famous date shakes. Date Shake: $4 (prepaid)

You'll also have time to browse the Palm Pantry for dates, candies, spices, grains, drinks, jams, oils, gifts, and other locally made treats.

If you decide you don't want a date shake after all, simply let me know the morning of the event, and I'll refund your $4 at the event along with your $10 registration fee.

Come hungry, learn a little Arizona history, enjoy great company, and discover why Sphinx Date Company has been an Arizona favorite for generations!
