Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

Off‑road through the Arizona desert

The core of the trip is an off-road UTV/ATV expedition across the Sonoran landscape — a short, guided desert run that serves as the active spine of the experience.

THE DESTINATION

An oasis: O.H.S.O. Distillery

Your final stop is an on-site O.H.S.O. distillery where staff lead whiskey tastings, serve two whiskey-based craft cocktails and, for large groups, a buffet of heavy appetizers alongside a casual Whiskey 101.

THE EXPERIENCE

A social, guided happy hour in the desert

The package blends guided riding with a curated tasting and food service, designed as a group-oriented excursion and billed as one of the Valley’s more distinctive happy-hour alternatives.

What the day feels like
