We had the combo flight & our Birthday girl ordered the Rosé flight. All were delicious! We opted for a glass each of our 3 favorites (and a bottle of each to bring home). After hearing the history of the vines & the property we wandered freely onto the many patios to enjoy the light breeze and pleasant decks on the enchanting vineyard. Just a lovely place! We highly recommend a visit- the customer service was impeccable, Shaun was so friendly, approachable & knowledgable. We can't wait to return!

When we arrived, parking was simple, with separate areas for the public and members. We got there around 2 p.m., and there was already a line at the entrance, but we only waited about 10 minutes before being seated on the patio. The weather was perfect for sitting outside and enjoying a glass of wine. The menu had a ton of options, especially for flights, Chilled, Combo, Red, Dessert, Brandy, and more. The food menu was just as tempting, with plenty of choices. We started with the Red Flight and ordered the Chef's Taco Special and Truffle Kettle Chips, which paired really well with the wines. After that, we tried the Brandy Flight and finished with the Dessert Flight, and we ended up finding a few favorites among them. After tasting, we took a walk around the vineyard. There are outdoor tables where you can sit if you have pets with you, and one of the seating areas is right by the river. The sound of the water makes the whole place feel extra calm and relaxing. If you don't want to sit in the main restaurant area, you can also order everything picnic-style and enjoy your food and wine with the view. They do have a Wine Club for anyone who wants to visit regularly, but we didn't join because we're not big on commitment. Even so, we'll definitely be back. It's a great spot to unwind, sip some good wine, and just relax for a while.

After traveling to different wine regions including South Australia we were very impressed with…read moreArizona Wines. It should be noted that with a couple of exceptions the wines are all seem to be made in the Willcox, AZ area which is located in South East Arizona. We visited the following tasting rooms during our week long visit to the area. 1. The Jerome Winery 2. Arizona Stronghold 3. Merkin Vineyards 4. Winery 101 5. Pillsbury Wine Company 6. Tantrum Wine 7. Winery 1912 8. Salt Mine Wine 9. Carlson Creek We found wines that we enjoyed at each of these with focus on the Syrah and Syrah blends. Most of these red wines are very smooth and silky with a fruit forward flavor. We found these wines to be actually better than many you would find in the Mclaren Vale region of South Australia, which is famous for their Syrahs. Our favorite hands down were the wines from the Pillsbury Wine Company. Each of these winery's charge between $12-15 for a tasting but most, with the exception of the Jerome Winery and Winery 1912, waived the tasting fee with a purchase of a bottle. We also noted that Tantrum Wine and Winery 1912 did not offer water with their tasting which I believe is pretty important. All in all if you enjoy wines and wine tasting the Verde Valley Wine Trail is a must do.

It was such a relaxing train ride. 2 hours up and back through the canyon for a total of 4 hours. We saw lots of gorgeous rock formations. Craig was a very knowledge and personable guide as we rode through this canyon. Craig pointed out so many natural formations. He showed us a bear den, mountain lion den. We looked out for river otters but didn't see any. We also saw a beautifully made bald eagle's nest and we did see a bald eagle flying by our train on our way back to the train depot! Craig gave us the history of this railroad which was so interesting. We were able to go outside our train car to the open air seating to have a more "closer to nature" experience. Shine was our bartender! As soon as you walk in the train car you will see a really really nice bar. Shine was super accommodating, friendly and so helpful! Of course it was a really hot day and he said he'd take care of us if we needed any extra water. The car was super comfortable and cool with A/C. As soon as we walked on and sat in our assigned seats, we had a small bottle of champagne and a delicious charcuterie tray for each of us. There is a bathroom in each car. Go early to see the little town before your ride. This is a great trip for Seniors, families, really all ages. It's recommended to go two hours before your train departs but we arrived an hour before and had plenty of time. There is a gift shop and outdoor seating while you're waiting for departure.

We had a nice trip and a good time, BUT we didn't get the seating we paid for and we damn sure…read moredidn't like the seating we got. We paid for living room seating, but we got "dining room type seating" The train car seating is pre assigned and if you are a party of two, as in you and your spouse/friend, you will be seated on the dining room type seating. Those with parties greater than two, you get the living room seating. The company needs some clarity on this matter when selling tickets. There was a big comfort difference between the two types of seating and we weren't told about it in advance. Also, I will point out that none of the living room type seating is located next to the on board toilet, but some of the dining room seats are right next to it. I can tell you there is nothing like a line of six standing next to you while waiting for the WC as you're trying to look at the canyon wall as you eat your lunch.

From the moment we began, her gentle energy created a space of peace, trust, and openness. Susie guided us with such grace and compassion, helping us reconnect with our inner light and release what no longer served us. Every explanation she offered felt grounded in wisdom and love. By the end, we all felt lighter, aligned, and deeply renewed -- as if our spirits had been gently cleansed and awakened. This experience was pure healing for the soul.

We also purchased food from the cafe there and ended up going back twice for their fries! They were so tasty!! Now on the train we boarded the Sycamore cart and Shea was amazing she kept the vibe high and energetic. She interacted with everyone and was very personable! The only feedback I'd give is to maybe shorten the train ride. 4 hours is entirely too long to go 40 miles round trip. At some point it becomes boring. Also requesting guests to get there 2 hrs before departure is nuts. If you're staying in Sedona or Cottonwood...DO NOT go that early! I don't think young kids or teenagers would enjoy this as much as seniors but I did enjoy my experience 100% The complimentary charcuterie and champagne was a great value as well!
