A nine-hour, chauffeured wine tour from Scottsdale to Verde Valley’s boutique wineries — prosecco on pickup, a gourmet picnic, and four one-hour tastings at family-run vineyards near Page Springs and Cornville.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the air-conditioned van in Scottsdale with a flute of prosecco in hand, the desert highway opening like a map toward red rock canyons and the cooler green of the Verde River. Over nine hours you’ll move between small, family-run vineyards in the Verde Valley—each tasting room offering a different view of the valley’s limestone slopes and river-carved terraces. The afternoon feels deliberate: a picnic spread, quick party games, and time on low-slung benches watching eagles circle.

History
Verde Valley’s modern wine scene grew from small family plantings in the late 20th century atop agricultural practices that date back to indigenous farming and early settler orchards.
Conservation
Vineyards here rely on careful water management because the Verde River is an important riparian habitat; visitors should stay on paths, pack out waste, and respect riverbanks to protect local ecology.
