Vines & Vistas: Kayak and Wine Experience

Highlights

Description

Spend the perfect day balancing outdoor adventure and refined indulgence on the *Vines & Vistas: Kayak and Wine Experience*. Begin with complimentary door-to-door pickup from your Sedona accommodation before arriving at *Alcantara Vineyards*, an 85-acre estate nestled along the Verde River. Here, your day begins with a scenic guided paddle in partnership with Sedona Adventure Tours. Glide down calm, picturesque stretches of the Verde River surrounded by cottonwoods, sandstone cliffs, and desert wildlife. After your river journey, return to the vineyard to relax with your first tasting flight and a charcuterie pairing as your private guide shares the story of Arizona’s emerging wine region. Continue your tasting adventure through the Verde Valley—sampling bold Rhône-style reds at *Pillsbury Winery*, exploring the artistic flair of *Merkin Vineyards* in Old Town Cottonwood, and finishing at *Cove Mesa Vineyard*, one of Arizona’s most awarded producers. Between tastings, enjoy a farm-to-table lunch at *Hilltop Trattoria* featuring wood-fired pizzas and local ingredients. With luxury transportation, local expertise, and personalized service, this all-inclusive experience captures the best of Sedona’s natural beauty and sophisticated wine scene in one unforgettable day.
