More Than a Ticket: An Investment in Legacy
September 11, 2025 — This year’s Passport campaign is about more than just attending a festival. Each ticket purchased is an investment in the ongoing story of Dry Creek Valley. By being here, you are directly supporting the farmers, grape growers, multi-generational families, and winemakers who have preserved and nurtured this valley for decades.
Your participation helps sustain local agriculture, strengthen the community, and celebrate the non-profit mission of Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley: to ensure this incredible wine region thrives for generations to come.
It’s not just a weekend. It’s your imprint on the future of Dry Creek Valley.
Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley, the non-profit for trade organization representing our valley’s wineries and grape growers, is thrilled to announce that tickets are officially on sale for the 35th annual Passport to Dry Creek Valley—California’s friendliest wine + food festival—happening April 24–26, 2026.
This beloved weekend celebration is packed with unforgettable experiences:
- Friday, April 24: Kick things off with Twice as Nice (2-for-1 tastings) from participating wineries, followed by the 2nd Annual Twilight Welcome Party at Bacchus Landing. Guests will enjoy wines from 20+ boutique wineries, paired with a live-fire feast from Chef Kevin O’Connor and the Alta Live Fires team (as seen on Hulu’s Chefs vs. Wild).
- Saturday, April 25: New this year, Passport guests with Saturday-only or 2-day tickets will enjoy a complimentary brunch tasting at Bacchus Landing before heading out to the wineries. From there, the festival continues with immersive Passport wine tastings, local food pairings, musical entertainment, and insider perks.
- Sunday, April 26: A full day of Passport adventures continues across Dry Creek Valley, with wineries showcasing the food, music, and wines that make this community so special.
Our partners Hotel Trio and Beau Wine Tours make the weekend easy to enjoy, while more surprises and sponsors will be revealed soon.
