Wine is the divine juice of September ~Voltaire
Welcome, Wine Devotees!
Sedona’s late summer winds have shifted to early autumn breezes complete with sweet rain, white bellowing clouds and cool mornings that leave a person feeling a sense of comfort, calm and peace. It’s such a joy to share this beauty with our friends who join us on our unique wine tours.
This newsletter is packed with all kinds of activities and events to make your visit to Sedona even more memorable. And most definitely, you’re invited to check out all our tour offerings since we do more than wine tours. We offer tours that include breweries, chocolatiers, restaurants and hiking like nowhere else in the world and as the number one Wine Tour company in Sedona we feel confident that we can show you Sedona like no one else in the world.
Leave the world and your cares behind and join us at Wine Tours of Sedona. Let us be your guide to memories you will never forget.
See you soon!!

One of the most unique towns you’ll ever come across is the historic mining community of Jerome which is located just outside of Sedona. Wine tasting rooms, restaurants and artist’s galleries make this European styled, hillside town a must see when visiting. If you aren’t in town in September to make the Music and Arts Festival, let Wine Tours of Sedona take you on a tour that includes this amazing little gem!
Prior to Arizona becoming a state in 1912, Jerome was one of the wildest towns in Arizona. Today, Jerome is considered a “ghost town” and it is quite a happening place with great restaurants (our favorite is The Haunted Hamburger), interesting and unique galleries, unusual architecture, historic buildings, a “sliding” jail, a haunted hotel, an interesting mining museum, and more. Although the population of Jerome is only about 450 residents; there is no gas station or grocery store, but there are three cool bars in which to meet the real locals and six wine tasting rooms.
If you are a fan of the bands Tool, Pucifer, or A Perfect Circle, you will want to visit James Maynard Keenan’s place Caduceus Cellars or Four Eight Wineworks, named because Arizona is the 48th state to enter the union.
