Inaugural Walnut Creek Wine Walk
By Jessica Yadegaran
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008 at 11:11 am in Walnut Creek, wine events for young people.
The City of Walnut Creek is trying something new, and I commend them. From 6 to 9 p.m. on June 25, merchants from North Broadway to Locust Street will open their doors for wine consumption.
Modeled after the Pleasanton Wine Stroll, which draws a good 1,000 people, folks behind the Downtown Wine Walk tell me they’re shooting to sell 400 tickets ($20 a piece) for their inaugural wine event. For $20, you get a glass and a map of the 32 retail shops and restaurants participating.
They don’t have a complete list of participating wineries yet, but I’m told it’s reds and whites from Napa Valley and includes Trefethen and Raymond. The one-ounce pours must be consumed indoors, btw. For more information and to purchase tickets, go to the web site of the Walnut Creek Downtown Business Association.
