The Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association invites you to
enjoy the wineries of this extraordinary appellation!
As 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. It is strongly recommended to call the winery
ahead of time to make sure they have passports available.
Participating wineries include Alfaro Family Vineyard, Bargetto
Winery, Beauregard Vineyards, Black Ridge Vineyards, Bonny Doon
Vineyard, Burrell School Vineyards, Byington Vineyard & Winery,
