FAQs:
If it’s a Wine Walk why can’t I walk around outside business with my glass full ?
ABC regulations prohibit walking between tasting sites with any wine in your glass. Thank you for either pouring out or consuming at each tasting site before strolling on to the next site!
Can I bring my baby or dog?
Sure, you can bring your baby to the wine walk. Please just be cautious with strollers as many of the businesses participating as tasting sites are somewhat small. Service animals are always allowed, however pets are not allowed in any establishment serving food.
Does my friend who will not be drinking need a ticket?
