Sedona's Scenic Wine Country Tours
A Taste of Camp Verde's Boutique Vineyards
Clear Creek Vineyard
This new tour offered by Wine Tours of Sedona takes you to some of the area’s smallest, most boutique vineyard locations which are only open Friday through Sunday due to the small batches of wine that they produce.
Our first stop is Salt Mine Wine, established in 2012 with 5 acres of vines. They are producing only 500-600 cases of wine annually, so if you like these wines, you better buy them while you are there or they will be gone. We love their steel aged Malvasia Blanca and their red blends which are aged in neutral oak for 18 months.

ALCANTARA ESTATE VINEYARDS
Alcantara Vineyard

This amazing tour takes you to one of the most pristine and beautiful settings, Alcantara Vineyard, the most beautiful estate vineyard of the region. The vineyard produces about 25 different wines annually, ranging from dry whites, unique red blends, and even some dessert wines..
The property is the confluence of the Oak Creek and the Verde River. This connection point of two waterways, the confluence, inspired the name for one of Alcantara Vineyard’s finest wines, the Confluence. In the limestone cliffs adjacent to where these rivers meet, you will see cliff dwellings dating back to the Anasazi and Sinagua Indian cultures. With an onsite wedding chapel and it’s own private beach on the Verde River, there is so much more than wine here. This is a three hour tour and includes one VIP wine tasting and one charcuterie or antipasto plate per adult. No substitutions granted.Click here to learn more

I recommend the Tarzan Red, an absolutely delicious Tempranillo. Down the street Four Eight Wineworks has opened up a restaurant, specializing in fried chicken and unique flavors of mead.

Clarkdale Wine & Vineyard Education Experience
Bodega Pierce
or Chateau Tumbleweed
Many people don’t know that the Verde Valley was recently (December 2021) rated as an AVA (American Viticulture Area) by the government body that oversees wine production throughout the United States. This designation is a proud accomplishment for the northern Arizona wine industry, for it allows the public to know that not only is the area producing an abundance of grapes, but they are making world class wines with these grapes.
Notably is the Southwest Wine Center, part of Yavapai College. Here students take a two year program learning everything about viticulture and wine making. During this process the students make their own selection of wines, made from the grape vines right on the college campus! Not only are these wines delicious, but they are also winning awards by the Arizona Wine Growers Association.

Then there is Chateau Tumbleweed whose wines are as unique as the labels that identify them. Each label has a picture of a tumbleweed in one fashion or another. Across the board, all their wines are top notch and worthy of your attention. And for the wine geeks, their labels give you more information about the wine than you’ve ever seen on any other wine label. This tour is only available Thursday through Sunday. Because the Southwest Wine Center and Bodega Pierce require advance reservations, we do require at least 7 days advance reservation. Your tour includes three wine tasting flights per person.
Join us for a fun day tasting wines along the Verde Valley Wine Trail and experience wines made by the students, the dean, and graduates of the Southwest Wine Center.
Rock Star Wine Tour
4 hours
This tour isn’t for everyone, though if you have an affinity for music, delicious handmade pasta, and locally sourced organic ingredients, and a selection of white, red, bubbly, and dessert wines; then this tour is for you! For create an experience that allows you to see, taste, and experience things that you just may have never known about a well known band from the 1990’s and what the lead singer is now doing shying away from the music scene.
Let’s start with music. Do the bands Tool, Pucifer, or A Perfect Circle ring a bell to you? You may know that the lead singer in all those bands is a guy by the name of Maynard James Keenan. But did you know that he lives in Jerome, Arizona and has been making wine for over a decade?
