What To Expect

Verde River

The Classic Water to Wine tour begins with approximately an hour and a half inflatable kayak trip on a scenic stretch of the Verde River with just enough chutes and riffles to add a bit of excitement without ruffling any feathers. Your river trip ends in the shade of giant Cottonwood trees at the confluence of Oak Creek and the Verde River. Here, you take the gravel path up through the vineyards to the Tuscan farmhouse at Alcantara Vineyards for your wine tasting delight

Alcantara Vineyards and Winery

The Alcantara Vineyards is a favorite on the Verde Valley Wine Trail, featuring award-winning wines and friendly sommeliers to guide you through the tasting. Each customer gets a $20 credit (included in price) to use for wine tastings, food or gifts.

We had a great time. Thomas was an excellent guide, the river was delightful. It was a modest challenge but nothing that either of us could not handle. I was concerned that I would be cold as it was in the 50 degree range. No problem, the sun was out, the river was fine. What a great day. And then there was wine!. What a great way to end it with a glass of very good wine and live music. All in all, a great day!

We had a blast! I'm a beginner at kayaking, and this was just the right fit for me. The whole trip was kind of like a lazy river with just enough current to keep you on your toes. (not too lazy though, you will need to row!) Danny was our guide, and he was fantastic. Just the most upbeat and helpful person, and you can tell he loves what he does. For views, November admittedly wasn't the prime time for this trip, but I can only imagine how beautiful the flora is in the Spring and into early Fall. Overall, can't recommend enough and would do it again!

The entire experience was incredibly fun! We had Matt as our “guide”. He drove us down to the launching point, but made the drive both funny and informational! Went through all of the kayak details and made sure we felt confident before letting us go. The kayak itself takes some getting used to but once you figure it out and embrace the spinning, it’s so much fun!! There are little baby “rapids” that carry you along so it’s not a huge paddle effort. The winery at the end is delightful. Great wines and lovely hosts. Their food is good too! We had a pizza and salad. We ended up buying a bottle! Would highly recommend for friends trips or families with older children!
