Let’s Go Fly A Kite!
Spring is the perfect time for a family day out! The weather calls for running around and having fun outside. What better way to enjoy our beautiful Spring weather than to fly a kite?! Alto Vineyards, Alto Pass invites you and your family for a day filled with egg hunting, kite flying, great music, and refreshing wine on April 16th
We want to share the spring feeling and joy of flying kites so that’s why everyone who buys a ticket gets a free kite upon entering our “Let’s go fly a kite!” event. Want more kites? They’re just $2 extra per kite! Of course, it wouldn’t be Easter without an egg hunt! So bring the kids and let them search for eggs filled with prizes among the vines. What’s an event without great music? The Diamond Dogs will be sure to create the perfect atmosphere for an afternoon of family fun.
When? Saturday, April 16th, 11:00 am – 8:00 pm
Where? Alto Vineyards Tasting room, Alto Pass

New Wine Alert!
The days are getting warmer which calls for the perfect fruity wine to enjoy on a nice summer evening. Our new “Just Peachy” wine fits the bill! It has a beautiful bouquet of ripe summer peach on the nose, soft aromatics in the mouth, with a peachy finish that lingers forever. Come give our new wine a try or purchase a bottle or two online and tell us what you think!
Order yours before they run out!

Wine Of The Month
The wine of the month April is the Heartland Blush!
The Easter bunny paid us an early visit with this limited edition of our popular Heartland Blush! These bottles are a great gift for an Easter party or a special surprise to serve to your friends and family at a celebration or after an exciting egg hunt. As an early Easter gift, we’ve made this our Wine Of The Month. Buy two or more bottles and receive a 15% discount. Buy them here or visit our Tasting room
This discount is valid on the Heartland Blush without the limited edition label as well. If you place an online order and want the limited edition Easter labels, please call our Tasting room(618-893-4898) to let us know to send bottles with the special labels.
For those who have not tried Heartland Blush, it is a sweet Rosé with a delicate and fruity Concord taste that is reminiscent of grandma’s grape jelly. Tantalize your senses by pairing it with fruit and cheese appetizers.
Beer Of The Month
Announcement: After “Wine of The Month” we couldn’t let our beer-loving customers miss out on all the fun! That’s why we’re introducing “Beer Of the Month” and just in time for the warmer spring days and hot summer months. Each month we’ll put a special beer in the spotlight. It’s the perfect excuse to try a new flavor or stock up on your favorites. Our Beer Of The Month will be available for a special discounted price of $3.50!
The First-Ever Beer Of The Month to take the spotlight is “Contact High”. This high-wheat ale beer has Pacific northwest hops and dry hopping topped off with orange zest. The combination of these ingredients makes it the perfect April through summer beer.
Drop by one of our Tasting rooms to try it!
International Beer Day
This month we’re also celebrating International Beer Day on Thursday, April 7th. Come discover new beers or enjoy your all-time favorite one.
On this special holiday, we’re selling our beers
for only 3$!
It’s bottling day
It has been busy at Alto Vineyards! We’ve worked hard on making outstanding wines and last week we bottled them. Our dedicated hardworking employees assembled before sunrise to join the bottling team and work non-stop until sundown. It took great teamwork and effort and we’re happy to announce that some of your favorite wines such as the Vidal Blanc are back in stock. You can buy them here or come visit our Tasting Rooms in either Alto Pass or Champaign!
