Win Big Off Of Your Kodak Moments!
In October 2004, we invited guests to capture snapshots of Amara's picture perfect landscape for our ongoing Photo Contest. Three winners were recently selected from the 322 entries. These lucky photographers captured a free weekend stay for two (valued at over $700). Amara's newest contest winners are:

•  

Sandi Wheaton of Ontario, Canada for her photo, "Paradise." (pictured on the right)

Patti Brahim of Pittsburgh, PA for her photo,
"Morning at Amara."

Adam and Mariana Weinstein of New York, NY for their photo, "Sync."

We are now accepting a new round of submissions with a focus on not just Sedona, but specifically our property. If you'd like to test your photography skills for a free stay at one of the sexiest hotels in the world, check out the official entry guidelines.

Treat Yourself to an Iron Horse Vineyards Wine Dinner on
Monday, October 30

The Gallery on Oak Creek presents another fabulous wine dinner this fall, featuring a selection of fine wines from the infamous Iron Horse Vineyards. This stylish winery produces estate bottled wines, which show a definite "sense of place." Their wines are always expressive, elegant, highly nuanced, bright, and focused - exuding an air of quality and class. Above all, Iron Horse Vineyards strives for exquisite balance in their wines. Their style is not to produce "knock your socks off" wines - instead they offer "gently glide your socks off" wines. Seating is limited for this wine dinner, and reservations are required. Get a head start, and reserve your table today! Reservations may be made online or by calling 866.455.6610.

Wine Spectator-Awarded Wine List is Still Half Off!
In Celebration of the Gallery's second Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for having "one of the most outstanding restaurant wine lists in the world," we've been working hard to make our wine list the best in Sedona. Originally designated exclusively for the month of August, the Gallery's half off wine special has been extended through the month of September. As part of the restaurant's wine list makeover, every bottle of wine under $200 is half-off every Monday through Thursday. Choose from the Gallery's list of more than 300 selections including such notables as Silverado Vineyards, Cakebread Cellars, Nickel & Nickel and Paul Hobbs. Offer ends October 1, and reserves are limited. Reserve your table online, or call 928-340-8900.
