The Sedona Experience – Hiking, Lunch and Wine Tasting (Private Tour)
Best for: Travelers who want an active day that includes a hike before the wine tasting portion
This option combines several parts of the day into one private outing: a hike in Sedona, lunch, and wine tasting at two vineyards. The structure is straightforward, so it works well for travelers who want more than just winery stops. The tour is listed with transportation from Phoenix/Scottsdale and hotel pickup at selected hotels only, so logistics are built into the experience. Because the hike and the tasting stops are already planned, this is less about customizing the route and more about following a set full-day format that mixes outdoor time, dining, and wine.
Active Sedona day with wine tasting
- Includes a 1.5- to 2-hour hike as part of the day
- Covers lunch with a stated lunch credit
- Includes tastings at two vineyards plus transportation from Phoenix/Scottsdale
Choose this if you want a shorter private tour with the most flexibility.
5-Star PRIVATE LUXURY Sedona Wine Tour
Best for: Travelers who want a shorter private wine tour with room to adjust the day
This tour is built around private transportation and a customizable wine-trail outing in the Sedona and Verde Valley area. It is the most adjustable of the three experiences, with the product describing the ability to tailor the day and even add other sights. The format is good for travelers who want a more compact outing and prefer to shape the route rather than follow a fixed activity sequence. Confirmed inclusions are limited to private transportation, bottled water, and snacks, so the experience is centered on the ride, the wine trail, and the guide’s planning rather than bundled extras.
Flexible private wine trail experience
- Shortest listed private wine option here
- Can be customized to fit your schedule and preferences
- Private transportation is included
Choose this if you want a private three-stop tasting day with the most stop variety.
Private Wine Tour, Voted best in town, Tastings Included!
Best for: Travelers who want a private tasting day with more stop variety and a slower pace
This option is designed for travelers who want a private, flexible tasting day with a clearly stated three-stop structure. The tour can be customized, and the stop list is broader than a standard wine-only outing because it may include vineyards, breweries, or a distillery. The product also confirms door-to-door VIP service, private transportation, bottled water, and a personal guide who photographs the day. Compared with the shorter wine-trail tour, this one gives more emphasis to pacing and variety. It suits travelers who want to decide the mix of stops while still keeping the day focused on tastings rather than a separate activity like hiking.
Custom tasting tour with multiple stop types
- Confirms a three-stop format
- Can mix vineyards with breweries or a distillery
- Includes door-to-door VIP service and a personal guide
How to choose the right Arizona itinerary style
If you want a day that feels active and complete, the hiking-plus-wine option has the most built-in structure. If you prefer to keep the focus on tastings, the two private wine tours offer different balances of flexibility, trip length, and stop variety.
Sedona hike, lunch, then vineyard stops
The day starts with a Sedona hike, continues to lunch, and ends with tastings at two vineyards in the Sedona area.
Sedona and Verde Valley wine trail
The tour focuses on vineyards and area interests in the Sedona and Verde Valley wine trail, with the option to customize the itinerary.
Customized tasting stops in the Sedona area
The route is built around three customized stops, with possible vineyard, brewery, or distillery visits depending on preferences.

- If you want a specific pace or stop mix, choose the tour that already matches that style rather than assuming it can be adjusted later.
