Discover Your Sedona Inspiration...
Photographers and painters come from all over the world to capture the extraordinary beauty in Sedona year-round. The Fall season will soon arrive and provides an additional layer of exquisite color, with leaves that display a gorgeous array of orange, yellow, cocoa and crimson to match our Red Rocks.
This time of year also marks a bevy of cultural events, including the Sedona Arts Festival, the Celtic Harvest Festival, the Sedona Plein Air Festival and the Sedona Winefest.
Festivalistas will revel in Sedona's soulful public events highlighting everything from artists to books, theatre to film, and local beats to Chamber Music. Click here for our full Calendar and don't miss out on these fabulous events!
Fall also provides the grape harvest for the Verde Valley which is home to several vineyards and wineries. These wineries are producing handcrafted, limited production wines in both white and red varietals as well as library wines and multi-grape bottlings. Several have been applauded by wine critics and have won national wine awards. The public can give the wines a try in tasting rooms during visiting hours, during occasional winemaker dinners, and by picking up a bottle in area restaurants, Sedona's fine food emporiums and liquor stores.
So, what will your Sedona inspiration be? Plan your personal Sedona vacation today by visiting the official tourism website, MySedona.com, to see all that there is to do in Red Rock Country! |
