Northern Arizona is becoming widely known for their amazing vineyards, winemakers and the overall exceptional qualities of its award winning wines. There is no doubt in my mind that you will enjoy visiting the wineries in the Sedona-Verde Valley area and that you will come back year after year to delight your pallet and take in the great scenery that the wineries have to offer. One of the favorite wine experiences for locals and visitors alike would have to be the Verde Valley Wine Trail.
The Verde Valley Wine Trail allows you to experience an overwhelmingly beautiful area that spans Sedona, Cottonwood, Camp Verde, Jerome, Cornville and Clarkdale. There are four wineries featured on this wine trail: Alcantara Vineyards, Page Springs Cellars, Oak Creek Vineyards, & Javelina Leap Vineyards, as well as 4 tasting rooms: Caduceus Cellars, Jerome Winery, Arizona Stronghold Vineyards, and Pillsbury Wine Company.
This trail offers you a chance to visit these wineries and tasting rooms which will give you a comprehensive overall look at wine making in Northern Arizona. To learn more about the wines of Northern Arizona or more about the trail, visit The Verde Valley Wine Trail’s website.
Keep in mind that there are many tastings along the trail so drink responsibly and make sure to have a designated driver. If you would prefer a guided tour of the wineries in the Sedona area check out the following tour companies that offer wine tours.
