Every Sonoma Passport Membership is valid for two people through Dec. 31 of that same year. Sonoma Passport Memberships are non-refundable. To ensure the best experience we recommend groups of 6 or more contact the wineries they plan to visit before hand.  The Sonoma Passport is not valid for groups of more than 8.

If you visit Sonoma County for even a few hours, your Sonoma Passport Membership can pay for itself!
