2013 Arizona Official State Visitor Guide - (Page 13)
Unlike Arizona’s other walking tours, the Flagstaff Ale Trail is self-guided. To participate, you can either sign up online at flagstaffaletrail.com or purchase a package in person at Lumberyard Brewing Company, Flagstaff Brewing Company, Beaver Street Brewing Company or McGaughs Smoke & Bottle. For $12, tour participants receive a souvenir beer pint, a map detailing the mile-long trail and a passport that each venue marks with a unique stamp. The tour also entitles you to discounts and special offers. No need to try to hit all six stops in one day—your passport doesn’t expire, so you can come back as often as needed to sample them all.

On the Field to Feast Agricultural Tour, you’ll pick fresh produce from the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension’s fields. Then, while you continue on a narrated tour of Yuma’s farmlands, local culinary students prepare a meal from your harvest. The 41⁄2-hour experience concludes after lunch.

8 CITY TOURS
Walking tours aren’t the only way to experience a city’s cuisine and culture. The Yuma Visitors Bureau organizes the Savor Yuma culinary tour, which shuttles participants to three restaurants for a progressive-dinner style event. While the restaurants and menu are a surprise, expect to enjoy fresh-from-the-field produce prepared with border flair. You may even enjoy a kitchen presentation or two. Tour participants also receive two drink tickets, which can be redeemed for cocktails, wine, beer and non-alcoholic beverages throughout the evening. Sedona doesn’t have a tour, per se, but the city does have a culinary package worth mentioning: A Grand Taste of Sedona. Offered through Epitourean tours, this three-day, two-night foodie getaway at the luxury bed and breakfast Adobe Grand Villas features a three-course gourmet breakfast, a chef’s tasting menu for two and a private Southwestern cooking lesson.

You may not think of agriculture when you think of Arizona, but the state has a long history of farming, beginning as far back as ad 700 with the Hohokam people, the first inhabitants of the Phoenix metropolitan area. Three of Arizona’s “Five Cs,” the state’s early economic driving forces, are agricultural in nature: cattle, citrus and cotton (the remaining two are copper and climate). Even today, agriculture plays a significant role in the state’s economy. Yuma County is third in the nation for vegetable production, with approximately 90 percent of all leafy vegetables
