Review:
If you like to explore on your own, then you will really appreciate the Verde Valley Wine Trail. Just be sure to bring someone who is willing to be the designated driver, because you will be tasting a lot of wine. Along the trail, you will visit five wineries and six tasting rooms: Cottonwood, Jerome, Sedona, Clarkdale, and Cornville. Each winery is unique and produces its own completely distinct wines.
Enjoy sampling their wines and driving through the magnificent red rock canyon, full of lush greenery and rich in history. In the heart of the Verde Valley lies the small, charming town of Cottonwood, surrounded by old cottonwoods, jagged mountains, mesas, and buttes. Located high above the desert heat but not high enough for Arizona High Country cold, Cottonwood has ideal conditions for producing excellent wine grapes. Map
