Riesling to Visit Passport - valid April 1 - July 31, 2013

Our region is known for literally some of the world's finest Rieslings. 2013 will be the eighth year of our Riesling to Visit Passport celebrating our award winning Riesling wines and providing terrific value. Armed with this little booklet, the Passport enables wine enthusiasts to explore many different wineries, enjoying a free flight of wines at each of the participating wineries, many of which may include a sample of Riesling. The cost is $18 per person plus sales tax. The Riesling to Visit Passport is an especially great value for regional residents that can readily visit our Trail more than once, enabling them to explore all of the many participating wineries across multiple weeks. One time visitors to the region that plan on visiting at least 8-10 wineries will likely also find this product to be a good value. If your plan is to visit fewer than 8 wineries, than it is probably wise to not purchase the Passport, and instead pay the incremental tasting fees that are common to most of wineries in the region. The Riesling to Visit Passport is not valid for groups of 8 or more people. Riesling to Visit Passports can no longer be purchased at Lakewood Vineyards or Belhurst Winery.

Here is how it works: First of all, starting winery points are not assigned for this passport program - you may visit participating wineries one time each, in any order you choose. With the purchase of this Passport, visit any of the participating wineries and receive a free** standard flight of wines at each winery. New this year, if you purchase at least one bottle of wine at 13 or more of these participating wineries, you will receive a complimentary ticket to our Pasta & Wine Weekend scheduled for January 17-19, 2014: a $35 value!
