Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa's Stogie and Sticks mancation

PHOENIX, Ariz. -- Gather up the guys for the ultimate long-weekend getaway of lighting up fine cigars, sipping premium bourbon, dining on delectable American Lodge Cuisine and teeing off on two of Phoenix’s best golf courses with the “Stogies & Sticks” mancation package April 17-20 at the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa.

The three-night/four-day package kicks off at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 17 with a uniquely crafted ‘Bourbon & Cigar Dinner’ in the resort’s signature restaurant, Wright’s at The Biltmore. It combines a gourmet menu with both pre-dinner and after-dinner cigar smoking and bourbon on the restaurant’s beautiful patio and lawn. An array of top-brand cigars will be offered and selections from the Jim Beam Small Batch Bourbon Collection will be poured. The menu will feature Wright’s signature American Lodge Cuisine, which encompasses bold flavors, rich texture profiles, elegant but simplistic presentations, and the highest quality ingredients from American boutique farms and dairies.

Friday and Saturday will be golf days, one on the resort’s 18-hole Adobe course, and the other on the Biltmore’s 18-hole Links course. Among Arizona’s oldest, the stately and grand Adobe course recently underwent a major renovation to restore original features such as wide-open views and rugged bunkers while incorporating modern updates. Links is one of the more challenging courses in the Phoenix area with a celebrated layout of rolling fairways lined with luscious pines and well-bunkered greens.

The Stogies & Sticks package includes accommodations for three nights, the Bourbon & Cigar Dinner, two rounds of golf, and breakfast daily. The cost is $450 per person, double occupancy, per night. For more information and reservations, please call 800-950-0086.
