Sedona E-Bike Vineyard Tour and Tasting

While our tour guide was great and she did a nice job of showing us some views around the winery and taking us down to the river; this tour is certainly not as described. If you ride a bike at all, this tour is likely going to be a disappointment. This is a tour that loops through a parking lot multiple times; to go to a few sites in the vineyards, stop at the wedding venue, see the River and see the River from above. You can not ride and get any distance or pedal much yourself. These e-bikes are basically small motorcycles that are required for the sandy and dirt surfaces around the small winery. This should be a walking tour… it was definitely not as described as a Ebike tour as it could and should be done on foot. The upside was the nice guide and the wine tasting was nice as well.

For a E-Bike tour, there wasn’t much biking. Just biking around the parking lot of the winery. Guide Danny was good but that’s it. Expensive for hardly any biking

We did the Water to Wine tour in March of 2020 & we had such a great time we wanted to do it again. Sadly, this time our Water to Wine tour was canceled due to high water/flooding on the river so we switched to an e-bike tour of Alcantara Winery instead. It ended up being just me, my husband, and Danny the guide. We had never used an e bike before, but Danny gave us a good rundown on how to operate the bikes & we were off to cruise around the winery. It was fairly easy, there were a couple of steeper slopes we had to peddle up, but it wasn’t that difficult. We stopped at several scenic overlooks, got a tour of where the wine is made, we stopped at the wedding chapel, which is beautiful, and generally had a good day. In addition to all the information about the winery, Danny told us about many of the different tours offered by Verde Adventures, so next time we are in the area we will hope for better weather & definitely go on other tours. We might just stay in Cottonwood vs staying in Sedona because Verde Adventures does all the fun things! Oh, and the wine and food at the winery were great, too. We brought several bottles back home to Florida with us!

Scott was our guide and he was great. Informative and fun to talk with. He made sure we were comfortable on the e bikes and that we were safe. The downside was the winemakers were not there so we didn’t get to see that, probably normal for early November.
