Paddle Into Spring On This Remarkable Kayak Wine Tour In Arizona

Wine and nature are two of life's simplest pleasures, and you can enjoy them simultaneously right here in Arizona. Rent a kayak from Verde Adventures and embark on a guided river tour to the rustically beautiful Alcantara Vineyards. Check it out:

You'll begin with a 90-minute kayak trip along the gorgeous Verde River. No need to be an expert in whitewater rafting - while the current does occasionally pick up, it never reaches an overly challenging level of difficulty.

Lush greenery and towering rock walls create a positively enchanting scene to paddle through. With glistening turquoise water below and the mild springtime sun shining overhead, this relaxing excursion is a perfect way to enjoy Arizona nature.

Upon arriving at Oak Creek, you'll dock and take a short gravel pathway to Alcantara Vineyards. This beautiful Tuscan-style farmhouse is a popular stop on the Verde Valley Wine Trail, boasting not only incredible products, but also breathtaking grounds and unbeatable scenery.

Stroll through the vineyard and take in the panoramic views of the surrounding mountain landscape. You might even catch a glimpse of native wildlife roaming around!

A $20 wine tasting credit is included with each kayak trip ticket purchase. You’ll spend about 90 minutes sampling the selection of wines before departing back down the river, or stick around and arrange your own transportation back to your starting location.

Tours depart daily at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to combine two of life's simplest pleasures: good wine and beautiful scenery.

The tour departs from 3445 S Grapevine Way in Cottonwood. For more information about this cool kayak trip, check out the Verde Adventures website or Facebook page. For details about Alcantara Vineyards & Winery, visit its website and follow along on Facebook here.
