The Santa Cruz Mountains <strong>Wine</strong>growers <strong>As</strong>sociation invites you to enjoy the wineries of this extraordinary appellation! <strong>As</strong> a Passport holder, explore the extraordinary viticultural region and become acquainted with the incredible diversity of the wines and winemakers therein. Passport wineries will be open on the third Saturday of January, April, July and November. Most Passport wineries are open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (please call to confirm) or check scmwa.com/participating-wineries. Each season brings something new to the vineyards; from pruning in the winter to crush in the fall, wineries are bustling with activity year-round! Passport is your opportunity to meet the talented winemakers of the Santa Cruz Mountains and to see where and how they produce some of the world’s great wines. Some of the wineries are not open to the public except on Passport days and many pour special wines or barrel samples on these days. A lot of these wines are simply not available anywhere else, so if you find a wine that you like, buy a bottle or two. Use the map provided as a rough guide only and read the directions for each individual winery. At each winery you visit, a page of your Passport will be given a unique commemorative stamp. You must have your Passport with you in order to participate in the tasting. Passport benefits are good for one visit to each participating winery. Your Passport may be used any time the participating winery is open. Passports do not expire until each participating winery has been visited once. Purchase a Passport for $45 donation by calling (831) 685-8463 or by visiting the website at www.scmwa.com. Passports will be available to purchase at any participating winery on Passport day, while supplies last.
