Prescott’s most anticipated spring tradition is nearly here, and if the energy inside the latest episode of Arizona Roundup with Stuart Rosebrook is any indication, Charlotte Cellar 2026 promises to be one of the most memorable evenings in the event’s history.
Broadcast from the beautiful four‑acre campus of Sharlot Hall Museum, this episode features an engaging, behind‑the‑scenes conversation with Sally Jackson, Director of Development and Marketing, and Amber Faith, Development and Membership Specialist—affectionately dubbed the museum’s “dynamic duo.” Together, they share why Sharlot's Cellar has become Prescott’s signature wine‑tasting and garden party event, and how it helps sustain one of Arizona’s most important cultural institutions.
A Garden Party with a Purpose
Now entering its second decade, Sharlot's Cellar has grown into Sharlot Hall Museum’s largest annual fundraiser, supporting education programs, living history events, archives, and the preservation of Arizona’s territorial heritage.
Set for Saturday, May 16, from 4:00–7:00 p.m., the event transforms the museum grounds into an elegant evening promenade where guests wander shaded paths, historic buildings, and vibrant gardens—glass in hand—sampling gourmet bites, fine wines, craft beer, mead, and creative mocktails.
Local Flavor, Expert Pairings
This year’s restaurant lineup reads like a who’s who of Prescott’s culinary scene, paired with expert wine selections. Participating restaurants include the Palace Restaurant & Saloon, Bistro at St. Michael’s, El Gato Azul, Gingerly Catered, Shirley’s Urban Eats, Triple Creek Kitchen & Spirits, Vincenzo’s Authentic Italian Food, Russo’s Cheesecake & Deli, Talking Rock, and Pangea Bakery & Café.
Silent Auction, Barrel of Chances & Wine Pull Fun
Guests can participate in a robust silent auction, a budget‑friendly Barrel of Chances raffle, and the ever‑popular Wine Pull—where mystery bottles range in value from $25 to $120.
A Landmark Moment
Just days ago, the museum unveiled a new bronze statue of founder Sharlot Hall in the Territorial Women’s Memorial Rose Garden—an enduring symbol of Arizona’s cultural heritage and the woman who founded the museum in 1928.
Sharlot's Cellar is more than an evening of fine food and drink—it is a toast to history, community, and legacy.
