Tips & Tricks for the Visitor's Incentive Passport App

• Stamp Passport - This feature allows you to use your geolocation to stamp your passport and receive points directly into your VIP account at participating wineries. Make sure your geolocation is on because this is the main way to gain points directly to your VIP account. 
• Check In - This feature will let you take a photo to share your experience at the participating winery but is not a way to earn points.
• Manual Stamp Request - This feature is not to replace the stamp passport feature. This is only to be used if you are unable to stamp your passport and is only approved by a case by case basis. In order to have your manual stamp request accepted, you must take a selfie at the location to include with your request, just as the “Manual Stamp Request” selection on your app requires. Your image must definitively prove that you are at the stamp request location. Your image should include a picture of you with signage in the background, either inside or outside. 

Stay in the Know...

The 2024 annual issue of the Ohio Wine Guide and SIP Magazine can be ordered directly from our website + mailed right to your door.

We invite you to explore an unpretentious wine region sewn together by meaningful connections with a focus on experiences. Ohio Wines are not about graduating from a tasting course at an award-winning winery or about the sunset view from the Ohio River Valley’s vine-studded hills.

It's about discovering a hidden taste for Dolcetto, about hearing a century of passion in a master vintner’s voice and about celebrating the Romance, Craftsmanship, Delight and Curiosity found only in Ohio wines. It’s about inspiring memories and forging deeper connections with yourself and loved ones in places held dear. It’s about life GROWN here!
