Long regarded as a mecca for natural healing and exploration, Sedona couldn’t be a more natural fit for Cloth & Flame’s Verde Series, a cannabis-inspired culinary program that launched, fittingly, on April 20, 2021.
While “Volume I: Homegrown” took adventurous diners to the urban core of downtown Phoenix, “Volume II: High Country” is being hosted among the lush, green landscape of Oak Creek Canyon in Sedona.

As cannabis became recreationally legal in Arizona this year, we knew there was an opportunity for Cloth & Flame to share a new kind of experience rooted in connectivity and nature. The Verde Series was launched as a platform to showcase and celebrate the cannabis plant, while bringing people together to enjoy an immersive, safe, and sophisticated experience.
Every detail of our event has been thoughtfully crafted with the guest’s experience in mind. We are thrilled to be pioneering in this space and showing how cannabis events can be approachable for everyone, regardless of their experience level.
– Tracy McGinnis, Director of Business Development at Cloth & Flame
