During two glorious spring weekends each year, 26 El Dorado wineries host the region’s annual Passport wine and food event.
Passport Weekends feature plenty of luscious wine and food pairings, barrel tastings, enjoyable art and music, and fun-loving participants. Warm weather and green surroundings along the wine trail add to the excitement of this springtime event.
This event is a sell-out each year. Sign up for our newsletter for more information on Passport.

El Dorado's vintners invite wine enthusiasts to step inside their cellars and sample distinctive wines – straight from the barrel.
