Merkin Vineyards is a quintessential stop during any visit to Cottonwood. Their menu highlights fresh, locally driven ingredients and every dish is packed with flavor. But what really takes it to the next level is the presentation... plates arrive looking intentionally crafted, colorful, and almost too beautiful to dig into.

Kayaking the Verde River is one of the most unexpected experiences in Northern Arizona. Surrounded by towering cottonwood trees, lush greenery, and calm flowing water, it almost doesn’t feel like Arizona at all.

One of the most unique ways to experience it is through Alcantara Vineyard’s popular Water to Wine tour (in partnership with ), where guests kayak down the Verde River before ending at for wine tasting. It perfectly captures what makes the Verde Valley so special: adventure, beautiful scenery, and an unexpectedly lush wine country experience all in one day.

The Jail Trail in Cottonwood is a surprisingly green oasis amidst Arizona’s desert landscape. This 1.6 mile loop trail goes through a dense riparian forest along the Verde River and it’s easily accessible from Main Street in Old Town Cottonwood. With abundant wildlife, like hummingbirds, black hawks, and deer, it’s as much a nature and wildlife walk as it is a stroll through tree‑lined tranquility. Despite being right next to the hustle of Old Town, this hidden gem immerses you in riverside serenity that often surprises visitors in this arid region.
