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.
