Wine Tours of Sedona is pleased to start offering select tours through barter / trade. For those you unfamiliar with this, it's pretty exciting. Living in the American west where this was Indian country, things of value were often traded. That's what bartering is all about.

All of the tours that we offer have a dollar value associated with them, just as other businesses across the state and nation have their own products and services with an associated dollar value. Simply, you have a huge network in which to sell your stuff (in my case incredible wine tours) and use the services of others.  There are literally thousands of other businesses in these networks which include restaurants, consulting services, hotels, marketing, automotive, and dozens of other categories. 

We a member of both BarterWorks and Value Card Alliance which are both part of national barter organizations where businesses can barter their services / products for those services / products of others. It is a wonderful we to do business in today's economy. For more information on how your company may be part of this awesome exchange network, check out with BarterWorks or Value Card Alliance. If you are a member of either organization, ask your contact rep to set you up with some vouchers to use on our tours. It's that easy.
