The 35th annual Passport to Dry Creek Valley returns April 24-26 for three days of wine tasting, food experiences and live music.
Presented by the Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley, the weekend highlights the unique appellation in the northwest corner of Sonoma County, where Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and other varieties thrive. This year, the event will be more inclusive of non-drinkers by offering several non-alcoholic options.
The weekend begins Friday with a Twilight Welcome Party at Bacchus Landing in Healdsburg. Guests can sample wines from over 20 wineries during a walk-around tasting, with live fire cuisine by chef Kevin O’Connor from Hulu’s “Chefs vs. Wild” series.
