Local Food & Drink Tours in Northern Arizona

Sedona might be famous for its red rocks and vortexes, but the local food and drink scene is seriously underrated. From sipping wine in scenic Verde Valley vineyards to learning to cook with local chefs, these tours give you a delicious taste of Sedona’s slower, savor-every-moment side. Whether you're a foodie, a wine lover, or just someone who believes vacation calories don’t count, these experiences are equal parts flavor and fun.

Let’s start with the wine. Sedona’s wine country is tucked just a short drive away in the Verde Valley—Arizona’s own little Napa-meets-Southwest. Guided winery tours typically include transportation, tastings at 2–3 wineries, and plenty of behind-the-scenes stories. If you're short on time or just want to sip without the hassle of driving, these tours are a no-brainer. The Classic Verde Valley Wine Tour is a favorite for first-timers—it’s laid-back, scenic, and usually includes a charcuterie stop.

Craving something interactive? Sedona’s cooking classes are where flavor meets hands-on fun. Local chefs guide small groups through regional dishes, from Native-inspired cuisine to fresh, seasonal Southwest fare. Many classes include wine pairings, and most happen in intimate kitchen settings with amazing views. Perfect for couples, foodies, or anyone looking to level up their dinner party skills.

Can’t decide? Combo tours make it easy. Think wine tastings + scenic sightseeing or food tours that walk you through historic uptown Sedona with bites from top local spots. These experiences are ideal for groups and anyone who wants a little bit of everything.

Our local team has personally tasted, sipped, and stirred their way through these tours to find the ones that deliver the most flavor and the best vibes. You’ll find small-group and exclusive options here that you won’t see on mass-market sites—so you can drink in Sedona’s culinary side without the crowds.
