Some say Sonoma, others say Sedona. Arizona might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of a wine-forward vacation, but Sedona — and the nearby Verde Valley — have become hot spots for the state's growing wine culture.
Winemaking in the Verde Valley dates back to the 17th century, but it's only been on the wine connoisseur's radar in the last decade. From your home base at Hyatt Vacation Club Sedona, Piñon Pointe, it's easy to make a day of wine tasting in nearby Cornville or Cottonwood — both are in close proximity to the resort.
