Verde River Kayak Tour and Wine Tasting

Please note, participants must be 21+ for wine tastings

• The Classic Water to Wine tour begins with approximately an hour and a half ducky 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
• 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.
• The Classic Water to Wine Tour features great photo ops, fabulous scenery, abundant wildlife, and excellent wine.  The tour even includes a credit for purchasing wine or gift shop mementos!
• Directions to our meeting location at the Alcantara Vineyard.
