Have you heard about our WINE VALET SERVICE? New this year! We know you love to purchase bottles from your favorite AZ wineries at the festival. The only downside is, you have to carry them around with you all day. We’ve got you covered with our Wine Valet! Check in with us and let us keep your precious bottles safe while you enjoy the festival. Pick them up on your way out.

We will also have a FREE SHUTTLE from the parking lot to the festival main entrance, courtesy of our sponsor, Wine Tours of Sedona!
