There are some wedding venues you tour because you want to see the space.<\/p>\n

And then there are venues you experience.<\/p>\n

Our<\/a> recent visit to Alcantara Vineyards<\/a> in Arizona’s Verde Valley<\/a> was very much the latter.<\/p>\n

Last week, we had the opportunity to spend the day at Alcantara Vineyards with a small group from Visit Phoenix<\/a>, and what started as an opportunity to learn more about one of Arizona’s vineyard wedding venues quickly turned into one of the most memorable venue visits we’ve had.<\/p>\n

We kayaked down the Verde River. We walked through rows of grapevines. We toured the winemaking cellar and laboratory with the winemaker himself. We tasted Arizona-grown wines. And, of course, we explored the ceremony and reception spaces couples can transform into their wedding day.<\/p>\n

But more than anything, we slowed down.<\/p>\n

Because that’s what Alcantara seems to make you do.<\/p>\n

The entire property has this peaceful, almost transportive quality to it. Between the river, the vineyards, the rolling landscape and the villa-inspired architecture, there are moments when it’s hard to believe you’re still in Arizona.<\/p>\n

For couples searching for a Verde Valley wedding venue that feels romantic, intimate and completely different from the traditional Phoenix desert wedding, this is one worth knowing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
