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 ! The kayak part was just the right length. We took it really slow and it was about 2 hours. There were a few very small rapids but I never felt the least bit worried about tipping over. I got only slightly wet, from paddle drip mostly. There is one turn you have to make that wasn't exactly clear but they say there was a sign that was washed away a few weeks ago. Would recommend ! Winery was also great - good wine, live music, good food. All very organized.

It's a beautiful river and this is the best way to experience it. I was in the Sedona area and wouldn't miss a second run. Monday morning and I had the river all to myself. Added bonus: got to watch a couple black hawks defend their cliffs from a beautiful attacking Red Hawk.

We had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary with Verde Adventure "Water to Wine" kayak trip. The manager, Anthony, was friendly, reliable and informative. He went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. His participation speaks well for the reputation of all the guides. We are experienced kayakers but found that the flat bottom boats used by Verde Adventures were a bit different than expected. However, these rudderless boats were sturdy, safe, comfortable, easy to maneuver. After a few minutes, we began to appreciate the entertaining way they bounced off obstacles and spun aground to give a relaxing 360-degree view of the scenery. The follow-on wine tasting at the Alcantara vineyard, with live music made this an anniversary to treasure. We are going to do this trip again.
