Passport 2010 is April 24 & 25

Join us for our 20th Anniversary Celebration!

Passport to Dry Creek Valley is an annual event showcasing the wineries, vineyards and exceptional beauty of Dry Creek Valley. There are 60+ wineries and 150 growers in the Dry Creek Valley, producing a variety of wines to please any palate. Wineries up and down Dry Creek Valley celebrate the magic of their valley with wine, food, entertainment and the hospitality for which Dry Creek Valley is famous. Many of the wineries create a theme around which they showcase their wine. Some examples of past themes include Mardi Gras, Wizard of Oz, Summer of Love, Surf’s Up, Disco, Hollywood, Western, and even the Kentucky Derby. Nearly every winery features live entertainment. From Blues to Jazz to 50’s rock and roll, you are certain to be carried away by the festive atmosphere that each winery creates. Unlike other large tasting events Passport has a limited amount of participants and therefore offers a more intimate experience. It allows participants a chance to speak to and connect with the winemakers and vineyard owners on a personal level, and learn more about the history and culture of Dry Creek Valley and its wines.
Because the number of participants is limited, Passports are sold first come first served, like a concert.  Tickets typically go on sale the first part of February.  To be on our mailing list and receive information about this event and all WDCV events please email your name, address & phone to This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it

The first Dry Creek Valley Passport took place the last weekend in April of 1990. There were 19 wineries participating and only a few hundred passports were sold. In 2009 forty five wineries participated, and over 5500 Passports were sold, it’s clear how much this event has grown. Passport has grown by word of mouth and press coverage. Attendees continue to tell their friends, relatives and even strangers about how much fun they had at the event. Participants travel from all over the country to attend Passport. From Texas to Pennsylvania, from New York to Arizona…they make their way to the Dry Creek Valley, certain to have their Passport stamped! Media who attend often write articles highlighting the delights of Passport.
