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.

Anthony is a great guide. He texted the night before to make sure we had directions and information. The day of him and Darell were helpful and friendly getting us to the kayaks and into the water.

For a smashing good time, choose Verde River Adventures. Our shuttle and sort of guide Anthony was entertaining, light hearted and fun while being responsibly informative while sending adventurers off into the wilderness armed with but a paddle and inflatable rafts while defending against wild hippos, water moccasins and vengeful eagles. Matthew made sure we knew how to paddle our little hearts out and whack any beavers who stood in our way with their dams. In all seriousness though, it was a self guided tour but Anthony let us know everything we needed to know. We had life vests to make us feel secure, and we were given strict instructions to stay right where there was a fork in the river. To help more, there was an arrow pointing right at that crucial point. Matthew really did review some paddle skills and what to do and not do in addition to how to get out of getting stuck. The float was an easy relaxing float. My friend from out of town and her sis loved our adventure today, and the wine tasting afterwards really made the day amazing! Thanks guys for the wonderful experience!

AMAZING! The tour leader, Thomas, was so informative and helpful to get us started. I went with my mom (me, 30) (mom, 55). My mom was super nervous because she had never kayaked before and she is afraid of water! Thomas was super reassuring and took the time to explain everything and got my mom feeling at ease! Anyone can do this! It was so nice to cool off in the 100 degree heat. Thanks for such an amazing experience with my mom!
