Red wine amongst the red rocks of Sedona some say it can’t get any better. One way to enjoy both will be on September 23rd and 24th at the 14th Annual Sedona Winefest at Sedona Posse Grounds Park. The two-day festival brings together more than 20 award-winning Arizona wineries along with locally made beers & spirits, live music, food trucks and artisan vendors.
“This festival continually brings in wine lovers from across the nation and is a huge draw for the city that celebrates a myriad of things that makes Sedona such a unique destination,” said Sedona Winefest Founder Sandy Moriarty. “We look forward to making this year better than ever and enjoying all that Sedona has to offer in a setting unlike any other.”
