There’s no denying the lure of Napa Valley. With approximately 400 wineries calling Napa Valley their home, choosing which wineries to visit in this world-known Northern California wine country can be challenging. Fortunately, there are annual events that bring together smaller sections of wineries for you to experience.

The Silverado Trail Wineries Association presents their annual Silver Pass Weekend November 13th & 14th, 2010. Visitors will enjoy current and library release tastings, barrel tastings, special discounts, tasty bites, and more. There will be 15 wineries participating in this year’s event, including Clos Du Val, Monticello Vineyards, Hagafen Cellars, Signorello Vineyards, and more. Click here to view the full list of participating wineries. Visitors can purchase a pass for just one day or for both days. Attending the Silver Pass Weekend not only allows visitors the opportunity to explore the Silverado Trail, but also to help contribute to a great cause – a portion of all Silver Pass sales benefit the Napa County Unified School District Books for Preschoolers Program.

The Silverado Trail stretches along the eastern side of Napa Valley all the way up into Calistoga. The drive on the Silverado Trail features vineyards, meadows, and award-winning wineries of different sizes and architectural styles. Established in 1989, the Silverado Trail Wineries Association consists of over 40 wineries and businesses.

Whether you decide to spend one or two days exploring the Silverado Trail, the safest way to negotiate the road is to contact Napa Wine Tours for your private, chauffeured transportation. Our chauffeurs are highly skilled and knowledgeable in driving in all areas of Napa Valley.
