In the HeART of Arizona Press Trip

Date: October 31-November 5, 2010

Location: Camp Verde, Jerome, Sedona, Scottsdale

Audience: Domestic and international travel writers

Program Summary: Artists have long been inspired by the extraordinary scenery of the Verde Valley, as well as the rugged beauty of Scottsdale’s Sonoran Desert landscape. However, there is more to this region than meets the eye! As we head to the Verde Valley, the “heart” of Arizona, you will visit up and coming wineries and tasting rooms, area boutiques and galleries, a wildlife park, the majestic red rocks and other natural attractions that make this part of Arizona world-renown. From rural Arizona’s wineries you’ll travel to the urban, chic downtown of Scottsdale, which boasts nearly 100 art galleries, Thursday night ArtWalks, and chef-driven restaurants showcasing Arizona wines and food as art.
