The 12th annual Passport “Wine” Weekend sponsored by the Calaveras Winegrape Alliance (CWA) will take place June 20-22, 2008.Please join our 20 member wineries in Calaveras County for a special weekend of food, music, sales and of course award winning wines! Participants are issued “passports” that are stamped at each of the wineries visited, and are all entered in drawings for some fun prizes. Each passport holder has access to special wine tastings, gourmet foods, and special wine discounts. Each winery showcases their different personalities and award winning wines.
All participants must be 21 years or older, designated drivers are encouraged and given special buttons and receive free non-alcoholic beverages. The unique event offers an ideal way for new area visitors to become familiar with Calaveras County wineries.
New for 2008, Saturday only and Sunday only passports will be offered to allow one-day visitors the opportunity to join the wine tasting festivities and discover Calaveras Wines. The cost for the 3-day passport will remain the same as the 2 previous years, $60.00, and the new 1-day, passports will be available for $40.00.
