Twice a year, the 24 member wineries
that make up the Wineries of the Santa
Clara Valley host a Passport Weekend. On
March 28-29, with beautiful weather and
new Wine Trail signs in place, the group
hosted the Spring Wine Passport Weekend.
An estimated 1,200 passports were sold
for the Spring Passport Weekend. If you
missed the Spring event, be sure to check
the association’s website, santaclarawines.
com, or the Gilroy Welcome center site
gilroywelcomecenter.org for the Fall event.
Or just follow Wine Trail signs. Most
wineries are open seven days a week from
noon until 5:00 pm.
