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.

Signed up for this tour with another couple for Oct 10th. The weather was perfect & the water pleasantly cool. Our tour self-guided tour started at noon. We ran into trouble driving up from Phoenix, though. 2 crashes on the I-17 made us 30mins late and Sedona Adventure Tours was very understanding & we were able to kayak without any issue. We received a text the night before from one of the shuttle drivers letting us know where to park & to kindly tip the driver as they make a living off of gratuities. It was nice to have this contact as I was able to text about our later arrival. Plan to wear water shoes or old sneakers that you don’t mind getting wet. Bring an outfit to change into after kayaking along with a beach towel. There are port-a-potties available near the parking lot or you can walk ~1/2 mile to the winery and use those before you get on the shuttle. Our driver whizzed us up to the drop point, gave us some pointers on getting in/out of kayak and told us how to make our way down to the end point. The kayak is an inflatable one that is sturdy and comfortable as well as stable. You might see turtles, river otters, beavers & various birds as you meander down this gorgeous stretch of the Verde River. I packed my phone in a fanny pack & it stayed nice & dry. Also brought along a water bottle. We took our time navigating the river, stopping to float, soak up the sun & listen to nature. It was so relaxing!

The guide was great. Just the right amount of instruction and independence (and fun!) the trip was one of the highlights of our week in Sedona

Such a relaxing and fun trip kayaking (slowly) down the Verde River. The scenery and water were great and it was just so easy to paddle (or not!) and run the "rapids" (which were really just ripples). And heading to Alcantara Winery afterwards was another treat for some fine wine and live music on the outdoor patio. Thanks you Verde Adventures for a GREAT afternoon !!!
