About this Experience
What you'll do: Your day starts in Scottsdale and ends among the red rock formations and vineyards of Sedona wine country, with a certified Arizona guide narrating the drive the whole way.
Red Rock Sightseeing – Take in iconic formations like Bell Rock and Cathedral Rock, then walk the grounds of the Chapel of the Holy Cross for one of the best views in Sedona.
Uptown Sedona Exploring – Wander art galleries, boutiques, and local shops before a lunch stop at one of Sedona's own restaurants.
Oak Creek Canyon Drive – Ride through the canyon's tree-lined curves as your guide points out the landmarks most visitors miss on their own.
Page Springs Wine Tasting – Sample flights of Arizona-grown wine at a few of the wineries scattered along Oak Creek south of Sedona.
Optional Vineyard Tour – Depending on timing and availability, go behind the scenes at a working vineyard to see how the wine in your glass gets made.
You'll be back at your hotel by mid-afternoon, having covered red rock scenery, small-town shopping, and Arizona wine country in a single loop north from Scottsdale.
