About this tour

When Em from our team ran this private wine tour in the Sedona area, it ticked the boxes for a properly customised day out. You get picked up from your accommodation, then visit three wineries, breweries, or distilleries—your call—with tastings included at each stop. The whole thing runs 5–7 hours depending on how long you linger, and your guide doubles as your photographer, so you're not stuck taking selfies at every cellar door. It's private, which means no coach-load crowds, and the vibe is relaxed rather than rushed. Bring your dog if you fancy it; they're welcome.

Highlights

  • Three tastings across your choice of venues—mix wineries with breweries if you prefer
  • Private vehicle means no shepherd-group energy, proper flexibility on timing
  • Guide acts as your photographer throughout the day
  • Door-to-door pickup and drop-off, no hassle finding transport
  • Customised itinerary catered to what you actually want to do
  • Non-alcoholic drinks on board if you need to pace yourself
  • Dogs welcome if you want to bring Fido along
  • Vineyard setting in Sedona—scenic backdrop without the tourist treadmill

What to expect

You'll be collected from your accommodation and spend the day in a private vehicle with your guide, stopping at three different venues for tastings. The pacing depends on you—if you want to sit longer at a particular winery or brewery, there's no clock ticking. Em found the guide genuinely knew their stuff and kept things conversational rather than lecture-y. Each stop gives you a proper tasting flight, and you get a genuine feel for how different producers work. The Sedona area is stunning, so even the driving bits between stops aren't dull.

There's no food included, so you'll either need to eat beforehand or grab something at one of the stops—most venues have options or nearby food. The guide handled photography throughout, which was handy; you actually get to enjoy the experience rather than faffing with angles. The whole day has an unhurried feel; nobody's shepherding you along like a school trip.

Good to know

The good

This works brilliantly if you want to taste wine or craft beer without the fuss of driving yourself. The private setup means you're not stuck with randoms, and you can mix-and-match venues to suit your taste. The photographer angle is genuinely useful. Bring your dog and they're fine. It's flexible—if one place resonates, you can shift your third stop.

The not-so-good

Food isn't included, so budget extra if you want a proper meal. Walking around vineyards and breweries involves some uneven ground and standing, so anyone with serious heart or mobility concerns should think twice. It's a couple of hours' drive with tastings, so you're looking at a solid day commitment. Tip your guide (15–20% is standard).

Practical info

Private tour, small group or couples. Peak season (spring and autumn) books faster. Bring sunscreen and water. Bottled water's provided on the van but won't hurt to have your own. Infants and prams are fine; service animals welcome.
