We all love visiting wine country, but with tasting fees increasing year over year and fewer tasting rooms waiving tasting fees, it’s hard to go out on a limb from the tried-and-true and discover something new. And without doing a lot of research and asking friends, you are no doubt missing out on some truly incredible experiences that you’ll really enjoy.
If this sounds familiar, then let us invite you to a new and easy way of exploring Sonoma wine country. The wine industry veterans over at CellarPass have spent years researching all the available tasting options and have curated an exclusive wine tasting passport that provides complimentary tastings at over 30 of the best wineries and tasting rooms located throughout Sonoma County you’ll soon come to absolutely love.
We’re talking family-owned wineries that haven’t forgotten about intimate one-on-one tastings, undiscovered tasting rooms that your friends and co-workers will be jealous of, and of course, well-known brands and exclusively-curated experiences available only when you present your CellarPass passport. You’ll trade guessing and missed expectations for intimate and unique experiences while eliminating the stress from planning your ultimate wine country getaway.
