Dry Creek Vineyard and other participating wineries up and down Dry Creek Valley celebrate the magic of their valley with wine, food, entertainment, and the hospitality for which Dry Creek Valley is famous during Passport to Dry Creek Valley. Many of the wineries involved in Passport create a theme around which they showcase their wine, paired with food and entertainment.

In the past some of the themes have featured the Wizard of Oz, Mardi Gras, Summer of Love, Disco, Ancient Greece and many more. Other wineries treat you to displays of antique roses, opera, blues, amazing presentations of food from all over the world and of course sumptuous chocolates. But nothing compares with the wines of Dry Creek Valley and on Passport weekend the wineries all showcase the very best of their current releases, library wines and special bottlings that are only available during Passport weekend.
