Wine and Food Affair 2023~ Sonoma County 25th Anniversary

EVENT MAP

Saturday & Sunday, November 4 & 5, 2023 ~ 11 am to 4 pm each day

Join us for the Wine and Food Affair – A pairing weekend in the Alexander, Dry Creek, and Russian River Valleys.

All of the wineries participating will have a favorite winery recipe, which they will prepare both days for you to sample, along with the perfect wine.

You will need to select your check-in winery to start and get your glass and wristband, and then you are off and running to any of the participating wineries for the weekend.

Wine & Food Affair tickets are only available online in advance. You can buy your Wine & Food Affair tickets until October 30, 2023. No Tickets will be available at the door.

Your Ticket Includes:

• Wine tasting at all participating wineries (minimum of 3 tastes at each winery)

• Food pairing – listed in the event program

Attendees will receive a tasting glass & wristband upon check-in. Designated Drivers are given a different color wristband and not served wine. All attendees must be 21 years of age or older.

For compliance with Sonoma County’s “best practices” for events, we MUST enforce a limited number of people checking in at each winery location. We cannot make exceptions, and once a winery has reached its limit for check-ins, you will need to select another winery and check in at that location.

All Wineries Request No Groups of 8 or More

All buses are banned from Wine Road events. A van is not a bus, but a bus of any size is just that – a bus. Buses are not allowed. Wineries will turn you away at the parking lot.

REFUND POLICY: Sales are FINAL and non-refundable. No full or partial refunds are given to customers who will miss the event. The ticket is valid only on the date[s] of the event as listed and may not be exchanged or redeemed for any other dates.
