Named one of America's "Top Ten Best Vacation Film Festivals" (Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide), The Sonoma Valley Film Festival is a premier destination experience unlike any other.  Set amidst the unparalleled beauty of the Sonoma Valley wine country, the Festival welcomes filmmakers and film lovers to an intimate and luxurious extended weekend, pairing good food, fine wine and over 75 new independent films from all over the world.

"Complimenting consistently stellar programming are the surrounding wine country and related Epicurean pleasures that make for a wonderful get-away...  A decidedly non-industry affair, which, ironically is precisely why it attracts so many film industry luminaries."

ATTENDING THE FILM FESTIVAL: The best way to experience all that the Film Festival offers is with a PASS.  While we do sell limited rush tickets to screenings, pass holders have priority and are always admitted first to all programs.  We offer three different passes: PATRON PASS, PREMIER PASS, and FESTIVAL PASS

ORDERING YOUR FILM FESTIVAL PASSES:   It's easy!  Order your passes right here, using your major credit card.  To process your order, we'll need to know how many passes you want of each type, and who each pass is for. Passes are non-transferable, and we hold all passes for pickup at our Welcome Center to avoid any possibility of them being lost prior to the Film Festival.  We will email you a confirmation of your purchase, along with further details and instructions about attending the Film Festival.
