The Premium Tasting Area will be serving the most exclusive of Arizona wines. Its popularity has encouraged the Winefest organizers in 2013 to expand the Premium tasting room to accommodate more patrons in a new outdoor seating area. The Premium wines will not be poured in the General admission area and are the top tier wines of Arizona, several offered only to Sedona Winefest VIP patrons. In addition to tastings, the wineries will be offering wine by the glass, bottle or case, and extra tasting tickets will also be available.
