Barrel Tasting 2018

BARREL TASTING – FIRST WEEKEND
March 2 – 4, 2018
11:00 am – 4:00 pm each day
This ticket page is for the FIRST WEEKEND ONLY

Advance Online Ticket Sales END on Monday February 26th at 11pm.

Join us as we celebrate our 41st Annual Barrel Tasting! This is your chance to sample wines from the barrel, talk to winemakers and explore the beautiful Alexander, Dry Creek and Russian River Valleys.

Barrel Tasting is not a food pairing or themed event. It’s all about the WINE…many wineries offer “futures” on their barrel samples. This is a chance to purchase wine now, often at a discount, then come back to the winery when the wine is bottled, typically 12-18 months from now. Many wines are so limited, buying futures is your only chance to purchase them.

Ticket price will include barrel sampling at all of the participating wineries for the weekend, some wineries may charge an additional fee for current vintages (refer to Event Program).

Attendees will receive a tasting glass & wristband upon check-in. *Designated Drivers are given a different color wristband and they are not served wine

Winemaker Breakfast and Q & A on Saturday March 3rd, 9am-10:30am. Tickets must be purchased for this added event during registration. Join winemakers for a casual morning of Q & A along with a breakfast before heading out to Barrel Tasting. This is an open forum for guests to meet and chat with winemakers in a casual breakfast setting with Q & A.This is not a wine tasting experience, simply breakfast and conversation.

For compliance with Sonoma County “best practices” for events we MUST enforce a limited number of people checking in at each winery location. We cannot make exceptions, once a winery has reached their limit for check-ins you will need to select another winery and check-in at that location.

All buses are banned from Wine Road events. A van is not a bus, but a bus of any size is just that – a bus. Buses are not allowed. Wineries will turn you away at the parking lot.

REFUND POLICY: Sales are FINAL and non – refundable. No full or partial refunds are given to customers who will miss the event. The ticket is valid only on the date[s] of the event as listed and may not be exchanged or redeemed for any other dates.

Advance Sales END Monday February 26th at 11pm.

Prices at the door: $70 Weekend, $60 Sunday and $10 Designated Driver.
