About This Festival

The Sonoma Wine Road Barrel Tasting Weekend is a rare opportunity to taste wines straight from the barrel before they're bottled and released. More than 100 wineries along the Russian River Valley, Dry Creek Valley, and Alexander Valley open their cellar doors for this beloved two-day event. Guests receive a commemorative glass and passport, then travel from winery to winery sampling unreleased wines and meeting the winemakers behind them.
