Passaggio Wines

Passaggio Wines, one of Northern California’s most endearing wineries, returns to Sonoma County in late summer of 2022 with the opening of a wine bar, just in time to celebrate its fifteenth anniversary.

Launched in 2007 with only one wine, an unoaked Chardonnay, winemaker and owner Cindy Cosco has grown Passaggio’s portfolio into a variety of wines, including whites, rosés, reds and sparkling.

Cosco watched the winemaking process from her Italian grandfather’s basement, which inspired her to take her own leap. In 2004, Cosco moved from Virginia to California, where she worked her way up through the wine industry – from retail sales to harvest work, to winemaking, then founder of her own brand. Passaggio, an Italian word used in music to describe a transition or passage, is a homage to her grandfather, who sought passage from Italy to the New World.

The new wine bar will feature flights, as well as wine by the glass and bottle. There will be a stage for entertainment and small space for private tastings.
