Looking for a wine tasting tour or adventure? You’re in luck!  Sedona and the surrounding areas have emerged as Northern Arizona’s Verde Valley Wine Trail.  There are more than 25 wineries, vineyards and tasting rooms along the trail. Along the Oak Creek in the Page Springs area, you’ll find some great wineries and vineyards that you can visit and tour.  There are four vineyards/wineries and each one is special in their own way. Page Springs Cellars, Oak Creek Vineyards, Javelina Leap and the DA Ranch all have wine tasting rooms where you can enjoy their delicious creations made from grapes grown right on the property. Enjoy a glass of wine and the laidback atmosphere.  Listen to some music or have some food while you’re there.

How do you get to there?  These wineries are close to one another, so you’ll be able to visit all of them or pick one and stay awhile.  Remember to bring a designated driver or book a Wine Tour and leave the driving to someone else.  There are very few Uber and Lyft drivers in Sedona and the Verde Valley, booking a tour is the probably the best way to get there and learn all about the history of the Wine Trail.

There are many tour companies that specialize in wine tours in the Verde Valley.  Look for an experienced local company who really knows the area.  It is best to check out companies online first before you book.  There are Jeep Tour companies that also have wine tours.
