Taste of Sedona: A Culinary Celebration at the State of the Chamber Address
One of the most anticipated elements of this year’s State of the Chamber Address + Taste of Sedona Partner Reception is the opportunity for guests to sample the range of flavors that define Sedona’s dining scene— all in one evening.
Our Taste of Sedona Partner Reception brings together beloved local restaurants, innovative chefs, and iconic dining destinations. This curated tasting experience celebrates not only exceptional food, but the people behind the businesses and the ideas shaping Sedona’s dining scene.
Meet the restaurants helping bring this evening to life:
Gerardo’s Pizzeria
A true Sedona staple, Gerardo’s Pizzeria has been serving the community authentic Italian cuisine for the past decade and was honored with the Chamber’s Best Customer Service Award at last year’s Annual Partner Meeting — a reflection of the warmth and consistency guests have come to love.
For the reception, Gerardo’s will be treating guests to a classic cannoli, offering a sweet finish rooted in tradition and community pride
Tortas de Fuego
With locations in Sedona, Cottonwood, and the Village of Oak Creek, Tortas de Fuego has built a strong reputation for authentic Mexican cuisine made with fresh ingredients, generous portions, and bold, satisfying flavors. Best known for their namesake tortas, house-made salsas, and lively, bright atmosphere, the restaurant has become a favorite for both locals and visitors alike.
Recently recognized as Sedona’s Best Mexican Restaurant for eight years running, Tortas de Fuego continues to earn praise for its consistency, value, and unmistakable comfort. Guests will enjoy a taco tasting that offers a flavorful glimpse into why this local favorite remains a go-to across the Verde Valley.
Rascal Modern Diner & Bar (Chef Mercer Group)
Located inside The Wilde Resort & Spa, Rascal Modern Diner & Bar has earned a
reputation as Sedona’s go-to spot from morning to night. A local favorite — Rascal blends hip, chef-driven comfort food with a bright, modern atmosphere and a bar worth visiting.
Known for elevated comfort classics, inventive cocktails, and a menu that delivers at every hour, Rascal is the kind of place visitors wish they discovered on day one — and where locals often bring out-of-town guests. While their featured tasting is still under wraps, Rascal’s reputation for bold flavors, refined touches, and all-day appeal makes it a must-stop on the tasting tour.
Stagecoach Smokehouse (Wild Thyme Restaurant Group)
Part of the respected Wild Thyme Restaurant Group, Stagecoach Smokehouse is known for bold, slow-smoked flavors and a welcoming, laid-back atmosphere. With a focus on
quality meats, house-made sides, and classic BBQ techniques done right — paired with a strong whiskey and cocktail program — Stagecoach offers an approachable dining experience where locals and visitors alike gather for great food, live music, and easy conversation.
Guests can look forward to a savory sampling that reflects the group’s reputation for quality, consistency, and crowd-pleasing favorites
ChocolaTree Organic Oasis
Rooted in organic, plant-based cooking and a deep respect for ingredients, ChocolaTree Organic Oasis offers a dining experience that feels both intentional and inviting. Much of what appears on the menu begins close to home, with herbs and produce harvested from the restaurant’s own garden and thoughtfully sourced local ingredients shaping each dish. The result is a menu that reflects abundance, creativity, and a genuine connection to the land and community it serves.
Whether it’s a vibrant beverage or an artisan chocolate, guests will experience the thoughtful flavors that make ChocolaTree a standout in Sedona’s organic dining scene.
Canyon Breeze Restaurant
An Uptown Sedona mainstay, Canyon Breeze offers a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with sweeping red rock views and plenty of space to gather, dine, and unwind. With an impressive range of favorites — from brick-fired pizzas and gourmet burgers to fresh salads, sandwiches, Mexican-inspired dishes, and smoothies — Canyon Breeze is a tried-and-true crowd-pleaser for every palate.
Guests will enjoy a tasting that highlights the restaurant’s flavorful variety and
approachable comfort, capturing the easygoing spirit that keeps Canyon Breeze a go-to destination in the heart of Uptown.
The Coffee Pot Restaurant
The Coffee Pot is truly a Sedona institution. Serving the community since the 1950s, this beloved local landmark is best known for its legendary 101 omelet menu and classic comfort dishes that have made it a must-visit for generations of locals and visitors alike.
We are honored to have The Coffee Pot providing coffee for the Taste of Sedona Partner Reception, bringing a piece of Sedona’s history and heart into the evening. And while many guests know them for their iconic breakfasts, few realize The Coffee Pot also features a charming on-site gift shop — a hidden gem filled with Sedona souvenirs and
unique finds worth exploring.
