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.

Great experience. The kayaking was relaxing and fun. Great scenery. The wine tasting was a nice experience outdoors under shaded trees surrounded by the grape vines. We had a wonder caprese plate with our wine tasting, yummy! Would definitely recommend to others.

Such a fun and unique experience! This tour is the perfect way to cool off, relax, and have a memorable adventure. The river flows at a mild pace with some ripples, which makes a relaxing trip with minimal strenuosity. A heads up- the kayaks are inflatable which make them a little difficult to steer, and they operate more like a float-bed. I would choose this over the inner tube adventure because the river moves at a slower pace, and 1.5 hours on the river was the perfect duration. You don't have as much control on an inner tube. Some tips: Pace yourself on the river- you don't need to paddle that quickly or strongly. It is fun to be able to lay back and relax. At the winery, you have a $20 credit to spend how you like. The wine flights are a waste of money! If you get a tasting flight- they will give you a measly 2oz per wine, which is barely enough to taste! Whereas you could order a full glass of wine for $10 each and possibly buy some food. Definitely bring water shoes and apply sunscreen Bring your phone in a ziploc bag or waterproof camera for pictures! Feel free to bring drinks or snacks to enjoy on the water!

The Kayaking was great the guys were very welcoming/friendly. Got us in the water 💧 really quick. I bet it would be really fun if the water level was higher. We will do it again! The wines we tried were good and the food that was offered was good 👍. I would've like to have seen the Sangria in wine glasses🍷 instead red solo cups 🥤.
