The Experience

Before You Go

Pace your tastings

Ask for smaller pours if you plan to drive or hike later; this is a private tour so the host can adjust flight sizes.

Sun protection

Bring sunscreen and a hat—many tasting-room terraces are exposed and the Arizona sun is strong.

Hydrate between flights

Carry a reusable water bottle or request water between tastings to keep your palate fresh.

Wear comfortable shoes

Closed-toe walking shoes are best for short walks between tasting rooms and uneven patios.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Terrace viewpoint at Winery 1912 overlooking Munds Mountain
  • Small tasting-room patios at Hyatt Pinion Pointe for quieter views of the red rocks

Wildlife

  • mule deer

Conservation Note

Respect tasting-room rules, carry out what you bring in, and avoid trampling vegetation; supporting small regional vintners helps local agricultural stewardship.

Wine Tours of Sedona was founded by Jim in 2004; the company has focused on connecting visitors to Arizona’s growing wine scene ever since.
