El Dorado Wines Passport Weekend
The El Dorado wine region has celebrated its remarkable varietals during Passport for over thirty years. This year’s event, on April 26-27, 2025, 11 am to 5 pm, will again feature wineries in high-elevation vineyards, all ready to welcome you with the region’s unique brand of hospitality.
Let this historic and beautiful Gold Rush region captivate you with the grandeur of the Sierra Nevada as you explore the wineries of Apple Hill™/Camino, Pleasant Valley, Fair Play, and Greater El Dorado, with a diverse range of micro-climates and elevations ranging from 1,200 to 3,500 feet.
Passport event offerings and events
El Dorado wineries will be hosting special events and offerings during Passport. Here’s what’s happening throughout the region.
Our artisan winemakers are driven by a passion for producing excellent quality wines and a love for this mesmerizing landscape.
Today, El Dorado County has more than 2,000 acres of vines, is home to approximately 70 wineries, and produces some of California’s most sophisticated wines. Join us on an exciting journey to discover why El Dorado is one of California’s oldest wine regions and best-kept secrets, and where every winery and every sip tells a unique story.
During the two-day wine festival, winemakers and winery owners bring out limited releases, unique and lesser-known grape varieties, food pairings, and daily surprises. With your 1 or 2-Day Passport ticket, you’ll enjoy exclusive access to limited bottlings, reserve wines, and creative food pairings, and discover the unique character of the region.
