With the event extended to the entire month of October, ticket sales will not be capped giving more people the opportunity to participate. In past years, ticket sales have been capped at 2,500 and have sold out bringing a lot of people to the farms and wineries over a “fun but hectic” two days, said Johansson. Additionally, this shift to a month-long tour allows guests more time to spread out and enjoy their favorite stops at their leisure without having to rush,” said Johansson. “The Sierra Oro Farm Trail is expanding so that we can welcome more guests with an enhanced experience, fewer crowds and more specials. It will also make the venues less crowded, parking easier, allow for easier social distancing and make it easier for the farmers and vintners to staff the event, said Nicole Johansson, Sierra Oro Farm Trail organizer.
