COTTONWOOD, AZ - The red rocks of Sedona drew Steph Houser from Bloomsburg, Pa., to the Verde Valley. Then a tip from a friend, a brochure and a little curiosity led her to a winery.
Glass of white wine in hand, she strolled the grounds of Alcantara Vineyards , accompanied by her husband and mother-in-law.
“We were actually surprised to find vines here,” said Houser, sipping from her glass. “I like the wine – not too sweet, not too dry.”
The Verde Valley has for long been a tourist destination, luring visitors like Houser to Sedona, parks featuring ancient American Indian dwellings, the ghost town of Jerome and other attractions
