Top Questions
What is the difference between couples and individual tickets?
Couples tickets are good for ANY TWO people (husband/wife, sisters, mother/daughter, friends, etc). Couples receive TWO tastings, both people must be present together for the couples tastings (ie: one can not receive tastings on the first day of the event and the other person on another day of the event at the same winery).
Individual tickets are for ONE person, you will receive ONE tasting at each participating winery.
What days is my ticket good for?
October 1st – 31st, 2024.
Which wineries are included?
You can download a list of participating wineries here or explore the wineries by checking out our Map page with the correct event filter applied.
I am giving this as a gift, can you change the name on the ticket?
The tickets are transferable so it does not matter that your name is on it. When gifting, you can choose to put the receiver's name on the order info and this will put their name on the ticket.
How do I receive my ticket?
A confirmation email will be sent to you once your purchase transaction is successful. The confirmation email will contain your ticket. You can either print, save to your phone or take a screenshot of your digital passport barcode to be scanned at each participating winery when you visit.
What time does the event start?
The event starts when individual wineries are open (usually 10-11am) and ends at closing of the wineries (5-6pm). Please check out individual winery hours on the list of participating wineries above or on our map page.
WHERE DOES THE EVENT START?
There is NO start location - it can start wherever you would like, but keep in mind you can only visit each winery once and only four wineries per day!
What about transportation?
This is a self-guided event so you will use your own transportation or book with a tour company. Please use a designated driver.
Are wine glasses included with the ticket or at each winery?
No, wine glasses are not included. Each winery will have wine glasses for you to use while tasting but are not included to take home. Wine glasses are for sale at each winery if you would like to purchase separately.
