Tickets Now Available! Eleven Area Restaurants and Wineries Join Rotary’s Second Annual Village Celebration
Tickets are now available for the Rotary Club of Sedona Village’s second annual Taste of Sedona Village, bringing together some of the area’s favorite restaurants, food purveyors and wineries for an afternoon of great food, beverages, music and community.
Following the success of last year’s inaugural event, Taste of Sedona Village returns Sunday, October 18, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at The Collective Courtyard & Grotto in the Village of Oak Creek.
This year’s participating restaurants, food businesses and wineries include:
Doc’s BBQ & Whiskey
Tortas de Fuego
Gerardo’s Pizzeria
Clark’s Market
Miley’s Cafe
Juniper Bar & Grill
Flew the Coop
Dellepiane
Carolina’s Chocolates
Willy’s Empanada House
Alcantara Vineyards
Guests will have the opportunity to sip and savor samples from participating businesses, enjoy multiple wine and beer tastings, and relax to live music by guitarist Eric Miller—all in the outdoor setting of The Collective.
“Taste of Sedona Village is exactly what its name suggests—a chance to experience some of the wonderful food, wine and hospitality that make our community special,” said Jennifer Bowles, project coordinator. “It’s a fun afternoon, but it also has a purpose. Every ticket helps Rotary continue its service to our community.” Proceeds from Taste of Sedona Village support the Rotary Club of Sedona Village’s service initiatives benefiting local youth, veterans and community projects, including the Village Rotary Community Garden, as well as international humanitarian programs.
Early-bird tickets for $35 each are available online at SedonaVillageRotary.org. Because attendance is limited, advance ticket purchases are encouraged.
Come sip, savor and celebrate this wonderful place we call home!
Yes, finding another sponsor won't cost you a thing!
Okay, I apologize for the heading, but now I've got your attention…
Here's a message from Paul Butler.
We are 19 days away from our BIG event… Thanks for all your help rounding up sponsors and making personal donations. I know everyone wants to do their best to raise funds to do all the great things we do to help our youth programs, veterans, polio eradication, providing scholarships, and much more. To date we have $14,050 in sponsorships committed towards our goal of $25,000. We are at 56% of our goal.
I would ask you to reach out to any past sponsors, vendors, service providers, or any leads you may have and give them one last chance … just bring in one new sponsor, the sooner the better and we can make our goal!!!
A copy of the sponsorship form can be found at the very end of this newsletter.
