Calaveras Winegrape Alliance announces more tasting rooms, more award winning wines and more fun!

The 13th annual Passport “Wine” Weekend sponsored by the Calaveras Winegrape Alliance (CWA) will take place June 26 to 28, 2009.

Please join our 25 member tasting rooms located throughout Calaveras County for a special weekend of gourmet foods, entertainment, special winery discounts and of course award winning Calaveras wines!

This exciting weekend kicks off on Friday night at Murphys Community Park, with a “mini-Passport” event, “Tour the World of Calaveras!” The park will be divided into five “regions” of the world, and in each of these regions, you will have the opportunity to taste wines made from grapes with their origins in those “regions” and each region will showcase corresponding cuisine.

Participants are issued a commemorative glass and “passport” that is stamped at each of the wineries visited on Saturday and Sunday, and if completed, entered in drawings for some fun prizes.

All participants must be 21 years or older, designated drivers are encouraged and given special buttons and receive free non-alcoholic beverages.

The unique event offers an ideal way for new area visitors to become familiar with Calaveras County wineries as each winery showcases their unique personalities and award winning wines.
