The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate and Pace Yourself

Drink water between tastings and eat the provided charcuterie to keep your palate fresh and prevent overindulgence.

Bring Photo Gear

A compact camera or smartphone will capture Snoopy Rock and Munds Mountain from Winery 1912’s patio at golden hour.

Sun Protection

Sedona’s high desert sun is intense—wear sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses even on overcast days.

Plan a Morning Activity

Combine a short morning hike (Bell Rock or a rim walk) with the afternoon tour to maximize your Sedona day.
