When you book with Elevated Sedona Wine Tours, you’re not dealing with a faceless company. Rachel and Dax are the local husband-and-wife team behind the business, and when you call, you’ll be speaking directly with one of them.
After living in Sedona for many years, they’ve built strong relationships throughout the Verde Valley with wineries, tasting rooms, breweries, and distilleries. Those local connections help create experiences that feel relaxed, welcoming, and well thought out from start to finish.
With nearly three decades in the hair industry, Rachel and Dax built their reputation on personal service, genuine care, and making people feel welcome. That same attention now helps shape the Elevated Sedona Wine Tours experience.
What to expect, how it works, and how to plan your day.
Honestly, the biggest reason is simple: you get to sip, relax, and not worry about driving.
Arizona has some of the strictest DUI laws in the country—yes, it’s a zero-tolerance state. Most wine tour companies won’t bring that up, but we will, because we genuinely care about our guests.
The wineries are often tucked away down windy, two-lane roads, and the last thing anyone wants is to turn a fun day into a stressful (or dangerous) one. Our job is to make sure you have an amazing time and get home safely—no drama, no risks, just great wine and good vibes.
So go ahead—taste more, laugh more, and leave the driving to us.
Elevated experience, approachable price.
We believe a wine tour should feel fun, seamless, and stress-free—not rushed or overly formal. Our knowledgeable guides bring great energy and local insight, so you’re not just getting from stop to stop—you’re getting a better experience at every stop.
This isn’t just a ride to wine. It’s the whole experience: top-tier vibes, zero stress, and a day that feels like a VIP escape without the over-the-top price tag. Perfect for birthdays, bachelorettes, anniversaries, girls’ day, guys’ day—or even a “we survived the week” day.
You sip while we steer. No maps, no scheduling headaches, no “wait, where are we going?” moments. Just great views, great wine, and a day that feels special.
Bring the essentials—and the good vibes.
Your biggest smile—you’re on vacation (or at least pretending you are).
Tastebuds ready for action—it’s a sip mission, not a sip suggestion.
A valid state ID—the wineries do check.
Cash or a credit card—for bottles you “totally didn’t plan to buy” (plus snacks or tips).
Your sense of adventure—because the best pours are sometimes the ones you didn’t see coming.
Optional but smart: a light jacket, sunscreen, and comfortable shoes for strolling, photo ops, and vineyard wandering.
