“The Verde Valley Wine Consortium assists in creating,

nurturing and advancing the Verde Valley as a significant

and important wine region. Member wineries pouring at

this years Walkin’ on Main are local to the Verde Valley.

They will be sharing with you some newly released wines

along with some of their very special library wines. This is

your opportunity to taste them all in the one location!”
