This is not a conventional tasting crawl. Sip, Sculpt, & Savor stitches two of Sedona’s quieter pleasures — regional wines with artisanal charcuterie and a guided, hands‑on ceramics workshop — into a single, leisurely half‑day. The combination of tasting bars, a working ceramics studio led by Alex Rovang, and a later visit to a Page Springs–area vineyard creates a rounded experience that trades speed for small‑group conviviality and a take‑home keepsake.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE TASTES

Curated Arizona Wines & Artisanal Charcuterie

The tour begins at Vino di Sedona or The Art of Wine with a curated selection of wines from across the state paired with artisanal charcuterie; a bottle from the tasting is included to enjoy later in the itinerary.

THE CRAFT

Hands‑On Ceramics at Rovang

At Rovang Ceramics Alex Rovang and his staff guide guests through creating ornaments, refrigerator magnets and small sculptures — even incorporating Sedona’s vortex‑infused sand — with options for more complex work or advanced techniques like wheel throwing for an additional charge.

THE ROUTE

A Vineyard Stop in Page Springs (Cornville)

After the studio visit the group drives to the Page Springs area of Cornville to visit one of several local vineyard locations — DA Ranch (closed Mondays & Tuesdays), Javelina Leap Vineyard, Oak Creek Vineyard, or Cove Mesa Vineyard — chosen by your guide based on palate and timing.

What the day feels like

How the Day Feels

The rhythm is deliberate: an introductory tasting and charcuterie set the tone, a bottle accompanies you to the next stop, and a studio session at Rovang lets conversation loosen while hands get busy shaping clay. Laughter and camaraderie are as much part of the takeaway as the finished ceramic and the final vineyard pour; the guide then completes the loop with a drop‑off back to your Sedona lodging.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who gets the most out of this half‑day loop — and who should consider alternatives.

1
Wine EnthusiastsAn excellent match for those who want intimate tastings and a guided introduction to Arizona producers; the guide picks the vineyard stop to suit your palate so you don’t have to choose ahead of time.
2
Creative TravelersIdeal for guests who want a hands‑on studio experience and a tangible souvenir; Rovang Ceramics supports beginners while also offering more advanced techniques for an added fee.
3
Small Groups & CelebrationsWell suited to small groups seeking a sociable half‑day activity combining tasting and creative collaboration; the included bottle and shared studio time encourage conviviality.
4
Those with Fixed Venue Requests or Tight SchedulesLess suitable if you require a specific vineyard visit or absolute adherence to a tight timetable: the operator selects the Cornville stop and the route may shift slightly during the day (DA Ranch is unavailable on Mondays and Tuesdays).
