Tasting fees are climbing everywhere, and Stags Leap District is no exception. But across the 19 wineries in our Stags Leap District catalog, real discounts exist - you just have to know which ones. Here is the short, honest list, backed by what each winery actually offers. For the full national playbook, see our complete wine tasting deals guide.

The tasting pass: the biggest single discount

The largest repeatable discount in Stags Leap District is the Priority Wine Pass: 4 of the 19 wineries in our Stags Leap District catalog are pass partners offering discounted or two-for-one tastings, including Black Stallion Estate Winery, Chimney Rock Winery, Clos Du Val, Pine Ridge Winery. If it saves you even two or three tasting fees, the pass has paid for itself in an afternoon. Code Wino20 takes 20 percent off the pass.

The waived-with-purchase rule

The most common discount in wine country is the tasting fee that disappears when you buy bottles. Plenty of wineries honor it without printing it anywhere. Ask before you taste - "is the fee waived with a purchase?" is a completely normal question. If you were buying a bottle anyway, the tasting was free.

The free discounts: sharing and timing

Two discounts cost nothing anywhere: many tasting rooms will split one flight between two people (ask - the worst answer is no), and weekday visits mean longer pours, more attention, and at some wineries lower fees or no reservation requirement.
