Taste of Sedona Village Brings the Village's SR 179 Kitchens to One Courtyard

Start at 6101 AZ-179, where Doc's BBQ & Whiskey smokes its mac-n-cheese over mesquite every day, and stop at 7000 AZ-179, where Dellepiane grills Argentine-style. Most of the Village of Oak Creek's food has an address somewhere between those two numbers. On Sunday, October 18, that whole stretch shows up in one place.

The Rotary Club of Sedona Village holds its second annual Taste of Sedona Village from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at The Collective Courtyard & Grotto. According to Sedona.biz, food vendor spots filled up nearly a month ahead. Look at where the vendors actually work and the lineup turns into a map of one road. Most of the verified addresses sit on SR 179 inside the Village, and the event happens at the far end of that run.

The Lineup, Sorted by Street Number

Eight of the food businesses on the list have confirmed Village of Oak Creek addresses on AZ-179. A ninth, Bosa Donuts, appears on The Collective's dining page. That page dates to 2024, though, so read it as a past roster, not a guaranteed current storefront.

Address on AZ-179 Business Known for
6101 Doc's BBQ & Whiskey Smoked brisket, ribs, the Six Shooter platter
6446 Big Park Bakery Naturally leavened sourdough, pastries
6500 Rak N' Sak Sandwiches, salads, charcuterie for hikers
6507 Flew the Coop Nashville hot chicken
6586 Firecreek Coffee Coffee and baked goods
7000, The Collective Miley's Café American breakfast, Southwestern brunch
7000, C-106 Dellepiane Argentine grill, seafood market, burger bar
7000, B-110 Willy's Empanada House Empanadas

Three of those addresses, 6446, 6500 and 6507, sit within about 60 street numbers of each other. A bakery, a trail-lunch counter and a hot chicken shack all share one short piece of the highway. The Collective then gathers breakfast, Argentine grill and empanadas under one address at 7000.

One vendor comes from outside the Village. Gerardo's lists its address as 2675 W SR 89A in West Sedona and says it has been serving wood-fired pizza and Italian-inspired dishes in Sedona since 2016. The other food names on the list are Juniper Bar & Grill, Tortas de Fuego, Clark's Market, DA Vines and Carolina's Chocolate. They'll be serving Sunday, and their tables are a good place to ask where they're based.

A Full Day of Eating on One Road

Read the menus against those addresses and you could eat every meal of a day on it without crossing into Sedona proper:

  1. Morning bread and coffee. Big Park Bakery at 6446 bakes naturally leavened sourdough and pastries and pours Firecreek coffee. Firecreek runs its own café a little farther along at 6586.
  2. Brunch. Miley's Café at The Collective serves American breakfast and Southwestern brunch, green-chile burritos included.
  3. A packed lunch for Bell Rock. Rak N' Sak at 6500 puts together sandwiches, snacks, salads and charcuterie for hikers and travelers.
  4. Something hot after the hike. Flew the Coop at 6507 serves Nashville hot chicken and its AZ Famous Chicken Sammie. Sedona Monthly's June 2025 review noted the shop had recently moved from Camp Verde into the Village.
  5. Dinner. At 6101, Doc's BBQ & Whiskey opened in the Village recently, according to Sedona Monthly. Its reviewer called out the Six Shooter, a platter of smoked brisket, ribs, pulled pork, turkey and a choice of Texas sausage or jalapeño-cheddar link, along with TexAZ Twinkies, mac-n-cheese smoked over mesquite every day, and a Black Bean Burger for anyone skipping meat. Down at 7000, Dellepiane started in Sedona in 2017 as a burger-and-empanada spot and later grew into today's Argentine grill, seafood market and burger bar, which makes it one of the longer-running kitchens on the list.

Two of those kitchens are new to the Village since 2025: Flew the Coop moved in, and Doc's opened. The strip that took up Rotary's courtyard in 2025 had already grown by the time this year's lineup came together.

Sunday at The Collective

The Collective lists its address as 7000 AZ-179. Besides restaurants, it holds retail, a tasting room, a spa, a bar, event spaces, a bank, a dental office and Snap Fitness. The courtyard and grotto hosted the first Taste on October 12, 2025, so this is the second year in the same spot.

What to know before Sunday:

  • Tickets. Early-bird pricing ended September 30. Tickets have been $45 since October 1, and admission at the door is $50 if any are left. Tickets are sold at SedonaVillageRotary.org.
  • What's poured. Alcantara Vineyards, Verde Brewing Company, Bell Rock Brewing Company and Wild Tonic/Good Omen Bottling are confirmed. Beer and wine tastings come with admission for guests of legal drinking age.
  • Voting. Guests pick first, second and third place for People's Choice among the restaurants.
  • Prizes. Rotary has collected more than 20 raffle prizes, valued together at over $4,000, covering golf, dining, recreation and a resort stay. A silent auction of higher-value items is new this year.
  • Music. Guitarist Eric Miller plays all afternoon.

The lineup has grown since the first announcement. Sedona.biz's August 26 announcement listed eleven restaurants and wineries. By the September 24 update there were 15 food vendors plus the beverage partners. Project coordinator Jennifer Bowles told Sedona.biz that the club "wanted the second Taste of Sedona Village to build on what people enjoyed last year while giving them even more reasons to spend an afternoon with us."

The money stays close to home. Proceeds fund Rotary Club of Sedona Village service projects for local youth, veterans and the community, the Village Rotary Community Garden among them, plus Rotary humanitarian work beyond the Verde Valley.

The Same Road on Other Fall Weekends

The Taste is one Sunday. The SR 179 frontage stays busy every weekend from now until the holidays. Oak Creek Arts & Crafts Shows sets up at two Village locations, Bell Rock Plaza and Sedona Vista Village. According to its schedule, admission is free and hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through Sunday. The organizer says it picks spots "right on the main road into town."

Weekend Bell Rock Plaza Sedona Vista Village
Oct. 17–18 Show
Oct. 23–25 Show
Oct. 31–Nov. 1 Show
Nov. 6–8 Show
Nov. 14–15 Show
Nov. 27–29 Show
Dec. 18–20 Show

The Bell Rock Plaza show runs October 17–18, so it overlaps the Taste. That Sunday, there's food at 7000 and the craft show at Bell Rock Plaza along the same corridor. These dates come from the organizer's advance schedule, so check the page before you head out.

Two changes on the road itself are worth knowing about. ADOT is resurfacing SR 179 from the Red Rock Ranger Station to Chapel Road, mileposts 304 to 311. Crews run alternating one-lane traffic from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., Sunday evenings through Friday mornings, with a 12-foot width limit, and the agency expects to finish in fall 2026. The work happens overnight, so it shouldn't affect a Sunday lunch at The Collective. It does affect the drive home from a late dinner on a weeknight.

Parking is the other one. Sedona Red Rock News reported on August 10 that the Village of Oakcreek Association was considering 18 to 20 more spaces next to the Oakcreek Country Club driving range on Bell Rock Boulevard, as an alternative to paving park green space. At that point the engineering study wasn't finished, and the county would have to approve the plan before any work starts.

At Cindy Chapman Group, we see the same thing in the Village's housing that shows up in its food scene: a lot of what makes it work fits along a single road. If you're starting to wonder how your own spot near the SR 179 corridor fits into that picture, schedule your complimentary Sedona home consultation. We'd be glad to talk it over, whether that's before Sunday or after you've cast your People's Choice vote.
