Rutherford Appellation Wineries
The Rutherford Passport Weekend is the premier consumer event sponsored by wineries residing in this historical appellation. Experience the wineries of the Rutherford Appellation in all of its beauty. Passport Weekend allows Passport holders exclusivity to special pourings, barrel and tank tastings, paired food and wines, and conversations with the winemakers - all of which will make for a memorable time in beautiful Napa Valley. Read about the participating wineries.
Rutherford Appellation Wineries was established to educate consumers on the significance of the Rutherford appellation as Napa Valley's preeminent grape-growing area. This consumer-focused organization was created to promote the uniqueness of the area and encourage visitors to experience personally the quality of the wines produced in this special place.
Proceeds from the passport events benefit a local Napa Valley Charity. Some recipients in the past are the Rutherford Volunteer Firefighters, the Rutherford flood project, Queen of the Valley hospital and others. In 2010, the Rutherford Grange was the recipient of $10,000.00 to help in the restoration project. Some of our member wineries will be pouring at the Grange this year and hope that our participants in this years' event take the time to see the Grange while it is being retrofitted and remodeled.
