Page Springs Cellars is a family owned vineyard and winery tucked into the volcanic landscape overlooking pristine Oak Creek. Page Springs Cellars offers delicious Rhône style wines, gourmet food selections and breathtaking views.

Come visit our tasting room just 15 minutes south of Sedona and experience a true taste of Arizona. Whether you are a novice or aficionado, our experienced staff can suggest tasting flights from our extensive wine menu to delight your palate.

 

 

Entice your palate by visiting our inviting tasting room and choosing a flight of five wines from our extensive wine menu. A selection of unique hors d’oeuvres is available to compliment your wine tasting experience. Wine is also available by the glass or bottle.

Our friendly and knowledgeable tasting room staff is there not only to serve you, but answer any questions you may have. Your visit may be quite an educational experience! The more you know about and understand wine, the more you will appreciate it.

You can also enjoy your wine tasting experience on our deck overlooking the vineyards or take a bottle of Arizona wine and visit the deck overlooking pristine Oak Creek. It is a lovely location for a picnic and a bottle of Page Springs Cellars fine wine.

For the comfort of our members, we have our designated “Members Only” area on the tasting room deck. This will help to alleviate some of the problems that come with a popular, sometimes crowded, tasting room. Come join us for a great experience and get a better understanding of great wine made in Arizona.

For a pleasant change of pace, stop by after dinner on Friday and Saturday nights to enjoy a glass of wine and relax on the tasting room deck under the stars. You can also follow the warm glow of lights and sounds of Oak Creek through the grape arbor to the lower deck.

Tasting Fee: $10 a flight (includes souvenir glass)
