Start The Party Early !

February 25, 2010

2010 marks the 20th Anniversary of Passport to Dry Creek Valley TM. As such the Winegrowers have added a new event to kick things off. Gateway to Passport takes place the evening before Passport to Dry Creek Valley TM. It will be held at renowned chef Charlie Palmer’s Dry Creek Kitchen located in Hotel Healdsburg. This 3 hour, Cocktail Party style event has limited ticket availability. So if you plan on attending it we’d recommend jumping on tickets ($150) before too long. In addition to a sure to be impressive menu (take a look at the menu here) by Charlie Palmer, a dozen Dry Creek Wine producers are scheduled to be there to pour their wine. From all appearances it sounds like a fantastically regal way to kick off what is always a particularly fun weekend in Dry Creek Valley. Tickets for both Passport to Dry Creek Valley ™  and Gateway to Passport are on sale through the Winegrowers website as well as by calling 877-545-3198. Sunday only tickets have already sold out, but two days Passports are still available.
