Drive to Arcosanti
| November 22, 2008 |
This is the information I have for our trip on November 22nd. We will meet at the McDonalds parking lot in the strip mall on the north side of Carefree Highway just off I-17 at 8:00 AM for an 8:30 departure. We will drive up I-17 to Arcosanti which should take approximately an hour. The only non-freeway route would be to take Route 69 SE out of Prescott, which would add lots of miles and time. We are scheduled for a tour at 10:00 AM for a cost of $8.00 per person.
After Arcosanti, we will travel up I-17 for about 15 miles to San Dominique Winery. The winery has a 1/4 mile gravel road. If we drive with care and don’t tailgate, this should not cause a problem. It is a well maintained road. If you want to do a wine-tasting, the cost is $4.00. You will receive 1 ounce of four different wines, ranging from red to white and dry to sweet. They have other wines that will not be included in the tasting.
We will have lunch at the winery which will cost $6.50 plus tax. Menu choices will be included in the next e-mail. After lunch, you are on your own to either go shopping at the outlet mall, go to “Out of Africa” or whatever strikes your fancy. San Dominique is near Camp Verde, so some of the east valley people may want to return by way of Payson.
