Dear Industry Friends,
When you think of the cuisine of the American Southwest, homemade guacamole, peppers that bring the heat and marinated meats sizzling on the grill should be top of mind. And on the menu of Sedona's best restaurants, you’ll find just that.
While Sedona restaurateurs and chefs create an epicurean experience to be savored, the most celebrated are the brewers and vintners from around the world who have brought their pioneering spirit as well as their recipes to Red Rock Country. They help to enhance the flavors of the Southwest with pairings that are sure to tantalize your tastebuds.
And that means whether you’re fueling your energy for a full day on the trails or easing back with a margarita on the rocks to soak up the sunset, the Sedona dining scene offers something fun for everyone. From popular vegan restaurants to prime steaks and seafood, scratch-made pastries to hand-cut pasta, the variety for a small mountain town is surprisingly large. If you have clients visiting Sedona during the holidays, please share with them our holiday dining information here.
We are looking forward to assisting you with itinerary ideas, obtaining FIT or group rates and information from our business partners!
Happy Holidays!
