Private Wine Tours

Sedona, Page Springs, Cottonwood and Jerome

Starting back in the 1600’s, Spanish exporers began planting grapes in present day southern Arizona. Despite the hot desert sun, the soil was similar to their native Spain. After a while, the cooler temperatures in the foothills of the present day Verde Valley became the source of wine production. Today, the Arizona wine industry has flourished with national awards and recognition.  Allow Up North Tours to treat you to a sampling of the over 20 wineries that exist between Sedona, Cottonwood and Jerome.
