“Wine, art and music lovers come from across the state to join us for this weekend among the red rocks, as there is truly something for everyone to enjoy,” said Sedona Winefest Founder, Sandy Moriarty.
Out of an abundance of caution due to the Delta variant surging in Arizona and to avoid canceling the event, we are requiring proof of vaccination or a negative Covid-19 PCR test result within 72 hours of attendance, for entry to Sedona Winefest. Please be prepared to show this proof along with a photo ID at entry. We believe this policy is in the best interest of our participants, staff, wineries, vendors, and the community. To be as safe as possible while enjoying our event.”
