A 4-hour Wine Tours of Sedona outing that pairs up to four local wine tastings with a guided stroll through Jerome’s mining-era buildings, galleries, haunted sites and eateries.
Wine, Copper and Ghosts: A Four‑Hour Taste of Historic Jerome.
Set on Cleopatra Hill, Jerome is a compact, once-thriving copper town whose vertical mines and weathered storefronts now house tasting rooms, galleries, haunted sites and a handful of restaurants and bars. This four-hour offering from Wine Tours of Sedona combines hotel pickup in Sedona with wine sampling at multiple Jerome tasting rooms while you take in the town’s mining history and eccentric local character.

Outing Highlights
Copper Age and Ghost Stories
Before Arizona statehood Jerome hosted some of the state’s largest copper mines; mining operations closed in 1959 and the town shrank from a population of about 15,000 to roughly 500. Remnants of that era — mineshafts through Cleopatra Hill, a mining museum, a sliding jail and reportedly haunted buildings — form a central thread of the visit.
Tasting Rooms from Local Producers
The tour includes opportunities to sample Arizona wines at up to four different Jerome tasting rooms, including Caduceus Cellars, Original Jerome Winery, Passion Cellars, Cabel Cellars and VinoZona, each offering regional selections and signature flights.
Galleries, Eateries and Local Color
Jerome’s narrow streets contain unique galleries, eclectic architecture, neighborhood bars and eateries—among them the locally noted Haunted Hamburger—providing stops for shopping, food and meeting local residents during the tour.
