The Verde Valley is famous for the beautiful red cliffs of Sedona, the ghost towns of Jerome, Clarkdale… amongst so much more. There is the Out of Africa Wildlife Park, ancient ruin tours through Tuzigoot National Monument Park, Montezuma’s Castle, Red Rock Balloons, Pink Jeep Tours of the Grand Canyon… on and on and on and on. But wait, there’s more! The Verde Valley is one of the three wine producing areas in Arizona, and home to twelve outstanding vineyards. Here you can kayak on the “Water to Wine” tour, even horseback ride through vineyards for a tasting.

Then there’s Cottonwood: There are so many activities that the list would require the whole newsletter. Begin with great restaurants, artisans galleries, the Dead Horse Ranch State Park (where over 100 species of birds reside), and end with the Verde Canyon Railroad … It is also home to many of the Arizona gold medal winning wineries, distilleries, and brew pubs. For a brief introduction to the spectacular area, join us for a fly-in to Cottonwood Airport on Saturday, April 23rd (where there are no tie-down fees). We’ve arranged for a shuttle service to the Pines Motel, where our winery tour begins. After our tour, which includes lunch, grab your cowboy boots and hat for we are off to The Blazin’ M Ranch for a chuck wagon dinner and show. Shuttle service will be provided back to the Pines Motel for an overnight stay, and then back to the airport Sunday morning.
