This year, the Wineries of Santa Clara Valley welcomed eight new winery members to its collective—making it possible for wine lovers to visit 32 tasting rooms during the 2018 Spring Passport.
The event, which is a major fundraiser for the nonprofit and has traditionally occurred in a single weekend, has offered—for the first time—an entire month of wine tasting along the Santa Clara Valley Wine Trail.
“This change has also given our tasting room staff the opportunity to do what they do best—educate each customer about the uniqueness of their wines,” said Wineries of Santa Clara Valley Director of Marketing Stacy Giannini.
Oenophiles can expect the same for the Fall Passport, which Giannini said will be held during the month of September.
Passports cost $45 and are good at member wineries on the Santa Clara Valley Wine Trail through March 31. Wineries may offer music, food and special pricing, in addition to wine tastings. Additionally, many “Passport Partner” businesses are offering deep discounts. For information, visit santaclarawines.com/passport.html.
