September is California Wine Month. And even if it wasn’t, September is always a great month to visit the California Wine Country!
The California Trade and Tourism Commission has rallied some 75 wineries, hotels, and restaurants across the state to put together special offers for people who want to make the most of Wine Month. Our favorite is the Wine Country Explorer Pass, which in addition to the usual savings it provides those looking to get a taste of Napa and Sonoma, has a special offer with Summit Lake Winery.
Summit Lake Vineyards & Wineryis a wonderful family owned winery, and in September it is offering Wine Country Explorer Pass customers a special 15% off purchases of their new releases and 20% off the remaining bottles of the 2003 vintage.
The CTTC has a portion of their site dedicated to all the various offers available in September. You can see the complete list by clicking here. It is a long list, but they have broken it up by region to help you find the specials relevant to your plans.
“California is the leading destination for wine and food travel in the U.S.,” said Caroline Beteta, president & CEO of the CTTC and chair of the U.S. Travel Association. “We produce 90 percent of American wine and 350 different crops, making us a playground for the culinary arts, which translates to a gourmet paradise for foodies yearning for a deeper connection with California’s great wine and fresh produce. California Wine Month is the ultimate time wine connoisseurs can enjoy the Golden State, and these special offers make it even more appealing.”
Cheers to that!
