With the founding of the United States taking place nearly 248 years ago, the Fourth of July is always a party no matter where you are in the country. What sets apart a star spangled party from a being a ho hum gathering is making sure you have the proper ingredients. 

Our favorite recipe is a sprinkle of good friends, a wallop of delicious BBQ, a festive play list with plenty of patriotic tracks, and a splash (or three) of your favorite cocktail - and of course lots of fireworks to show everyone in your neighborhood of how proud you are to be standing on the land of the free and the home of the brave.

This is also the time of the year we love to celebrate family-owned and operated tasting rooms. We call these the Independents. These are the artisan winemakers, brewers, distillers and event producers that don't take the easy way, they stay up late at night to develop, design and throw down some amazing experiences that we've all come to love on CellarPass.

We all know small town 4th of July celebrations are simply the best.  And where there's wine country, there's lots of small towns.  From parades down Main Street, concerts in the park, pie eating contests, and back yard BBQs its easy for your heart to swell with love for fellow Americans and our great nation.  Make Wine Country your destination for your holiday celebrations this year.  Plus, check out the exciting events happening to make your 4th of July weekend the best ever!

Celebrate the Independents!
