Dear Industry Friends,
Many people know Sedona provides a feast for the eyes and nourishment for the soul. But it's not your soul that starts growling around lunchtime.
Fortunately, your clients will have no trouble satisfying rumbling tummies. Culinary options are as varied as the fanciful red rock formations defining the magnificent landscape. From casual cafes to white tablecloth dining rooms, health-conscious vegetarian to cowboy-style steakhouses, spicy Southwestern to elegant Italian, and everything in between, Sedona has emerged as a destination for foodies.
While the idea of eating local has become a popular culinary trend, it never went out of style in Sedona. The city was first settled because of year round water and fertile soil. Local fruit and produce, along with trout pulled fresh from Oak Creek are menu mainstays. Varietals of grapes grow on sloping hillsides just outside of city produce some of Arizona's finest wines.
Sedona is a destination meant to be savored. You can dine creekside, on a patio in the shadow of soaring red rocks or at a sidewalk table in the midst of the bustling historic district. Some of the best side dishes served throughout the city are the views.
Don't worry too much about over indulging. Everyone who visits Sedona is pulled outdoors. It only takes a few hours hiking, biking, kayaking, golfing or swimming-all the reasons you came in the first place-to work off last night's dessert. When it comes to calories, what happens in Sedona, stays in Sedona. You only take home the delicious memories.
Please let the Sedona Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau assist you with information, itinerary ideas, obtaining FIT or group rates and information from their business partners.
We look forward to welcoming you and your clients to Sedona, the Most Beautiful Place on Earth, in so many ways!

Overnight Closure on North State Route 89A
Motorists using State Route 89A between Sedona and Flagstaff should allow extra travel time as work resumes on improvements between Vista Point Overlook and JW Powell Blvd intersection.
To expedite project completion, and to maintain a safe work zone for crews and the traveling public, a nighttime closure of SR 89A will be in place between Vista Point Overlook and north of Griffith's Spring (milepost 390-397).
The closure occurs 7 nights a week from 9 pm to 6 am until fall 2017.
Daytime one-lane restrictions
will be in effect weekdays (except for major holidays) from 7:30 am to 4 pm. The lane restriction (from milepost 390 to 398) began March 6 and continues weekly (except holidays) until fall. During the day, lane closures to accommodate work will result in delays of at least 15 minutes. There are no lane restrictions allowed 6am - 7:30am and 4pm - 6pm to accommodate the heaviest daily traffic volumes.
Flaggers and a pilot car escort will provide alternating travel through the work zone. Drivers should proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down and watch for construction personnel and equipment.
Emergency vehicles will have access through the construction zone at all times
