Get ready for a spectacular day exploring the beautiful Verde Valley countryside! We will begin with a visit to the Heather Glen Alpaca ranch in Prescott Valley. You will enjoy getting up close to these adorable and friendly creatures, each with their own unique personalities. Heather Glen’s award winning herd will be sure to enchant you and there is a great opportunity to see some cute baby alpacas, too. Then we are on to Cottonwood where we will be dining at Merkin Vineyards Hilltop Winery & Vineyards—a farm-to-table experience with stunning 270-degree views of the Verde Valley below. Their mission is to deliver a 100% Arizona-grown/bred dining experience to all their customers. After lunch, there will be time to explore Historic Old Town Cottonwood that offers an old west charm. Check out their cute specialty shops or step into one of their many wine tasting rooms. Bring your friends along for a day to savor in the Verde Valley!
