2. How do SIP Sedona wine tours work?

SIP Sedona tours are designed to be easy, flexible, and affordable. We offer transportation from your Sedona lodging and take you to handpicked local tasting rooms. Instead of bundling wine tasting fees into a high upfront cost, we use a pay-as-you-go model—you only pay for the tastings, wine, or snacks you choose to enjoy at each stop.

8. Can we bring our own wine or snacks on the tour?

While we provide transportation and Sedona Water Works water, we encourage you to enjoy the wide variety of locally produced wines and small bites offered at the tasting rooms we visit. Many of the wineries offer cheese boards, small plates, or chocolates that pair beautifully with their wines, allowing you to enjoy a true Sedona wine and food experience. For legal reasons, you may not drink alcohol in any of our vehicles. You may bring your own food to consume in the vehicle only.

9. Are your wine tours dog-friendly?

No. Since we offer tours in small groups where not everyone might love dogs as much as us or may have allergies to animals; dogs may not join you on your SIP Sedona tour. If you are looking for a dog friendly wine tour, we recommend Wine Tours of Sedona or Sedona Wine Adventures.

Absolutely. We provide door-to-door service from most hotels, Airbnbs, and vacation rentals in Sedona.

Please share your lodging address when booking so we can confirm details.

11. How long are your wine tours?

Our Sedona wine tasting tours typically last between 3 to 8 hours, depending on the number of stops and the pace of the group. This makes them perfect for a relaxed afternoon with friends or a pre-dinner celebration. We also offer flexible start times and can accommodate custom requests when possible.

12. What is the age requirement to join the tour?

All guests participating in wine tastings must be 21 years or older, and a valid ID is required at every winery or tasting room. Non-drinkers and guests under 21 may still join as long as they’re accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, but they will not be served alcohol.
