When it comes to unforgettable spring getaways, few things pair better than panoramic vineyard views, fine wine, live music and artisanal cuisine. Add in a touch of rustic charm, a dash of family-friendly fun, and the signature ambiance of Northern Arizona wine country—and you’ve got the recipe for one of the most anticipated events of the season.
Back by popular demand, DA Ranch Estate Vineyards in Cornville is once again opening its gates for the second annual SIP! Experience. The festival is a two-day celebration of Arizona’s flourishing wine scene, taking place April 26–27, 2025. Tucked in the heart of the Verde Valley, this boutique, family-owned vineyard is offering locals and visitors a vibrant, immersive festival—and the best part? Entry is free.

Following a sold-out debut, this year’s SIP! is uncorking even more: more music, more flavor, more craft and more charm. With two stages hosting a diverse lineup of local and regional bands, food trucks dishing out gourmet bites, artisan vendors and some of the state’s finest wines and craft beverages, SIP! is poised to become a signature event on Arizona’s cultural calendar.
“SIP! was born from our deep love for this community and our passion for creating unforgettable moments that bring people together,” says Dylan Jung, the visionary behind SIP! and Events Manager at DA Ranch. “DA Ranch isn’t just a vineyard—it’s a living piece of Northern Arizona history.”

Sip, Savor, and Stay a While
DA Ranch is known for its 100 percent estate-grown wines, from the bold Red Barn Red to the elegant Generations blend, each one a liquid love letter to the land. Guests can sample selections inside a recently remodeled tasting room or outdoors on vine-lined swings, soaking in breathtaking views of the Arizona mountains. And when the sun dips behind the Sycamore-lined creek, cozy fire pits invite you to linger a little longer, glass in hand.
Wine aside, the SIP! Experience is a complete sensory escape. Don’t miss the VIP experience, which includes premium wine tastings, guided vineyard tours, exclusive lounge access and special discounts. Even better, $5 from each ticket supports the Low-Income Student Aid Program, making indulgence feel just a little more purposeful.

Live Music & Local Flavor
From the groovy vibes from bands like Local Honey to the soul-stirring sounds of Thunder & Lightnin’, SIP! delivers a soundtrack as layered as the wines themselves. The two-day lineup features twelve musical acts across genres.
Gourmet food trucks, including Savories, Dog Town USA and Dellepiane, will be on-site, offering everything from Argentine street eats to elevated comfort food. And for those with a sweet tooth, Sinful Sodas & Sweets promises sugar-dusted satisfaction.
Crafted With Character
Artisan vendors add an upscale shopping experience to the mix. Think permanent jewelry from Spark 26, hand-thrown ceramics by Rovang, curated hats from Crown Hatz, and a stylish photo booth experience courtesy of Glamper Shots AZ.
Families will also appreciate the dedicated Kids’ Zone, complete with bounce houses, crafts and even live reptile encounters, making this a rare wine event where the whole family is not just welcomed—but celebrated.
