The Pedal to Paddle Experience

Combine 3 of the most popular activities in Sedona in one amazingly beautiful location! - E-bike ride, kayak, and wine tasting!

Start your day off with a guided 1.5-hour ride around the award-winning Alcantara Vineyards on a comfortable e-Bike. Our knowledgeable tour guide will share a deep understanding of the Alcantara Vineyard, Verde valley, and Verde River history and the romantic vine-to-bottle process. Tours are led at a casual pace. The emphasis is on enjoying the scenery and discovering the beautiful and precious Verde river Alcantara Vineyards and enjoying the almost effortless scenic e-bike ride through the vineyard and the special scenery of the Sedona and the Verde Valley.

About your e-Bike: Casual bikers will appreciate that longer distances and hills are no sweat on an electric bike. And experienced riders who are hoping to get some exercise can opt to turn the pedal-assist level down or completely off for more of a workout.

After you’ve dusted off, it’s time to cool down on the Verde River! Guests can choose an individual or tandem kayak and enjoy a 2.5-hour self-guided float down the Verde River. Our incredibly stable and safe inflatable kayaks are the perfect way to take in the natural beauty of one of the most important rivers in Arizona.

Your river trip ends on a sandy beach underneath the shade of giant cottonwood trees at the confluence of Oak Creek and the Verde River. Here, you take the path up through the vineyards to the Tuscan farmhouse at Alcantara Vineyards for your outdoor wine tasting delight, which can last about an hour and a half (or longer if you want to stay!)
