WALNUT CREEK, CALIFORNIA – Who wouldn’t want to stroll through a local town on a pleasant Summer evening, holding a glass of wine and noshing on tasty little small-plates?
Walnut Creek’s summer sip-and-stroll is back. Walnut Creek Uncorked will transform the downtown core into a walkable tasting trail on Thursday, June 26, 5:30 – 8:30 p.m.
How it works
- Check-in: Start at Rudney Plaza outside the Lesher Center (1601 Civic Dr.), where guests pick up a wristband, keepsake glass and route map.
- Sip & stroll: Walk (or hop the wine trolley) between 30-plus downtown businesses pouring varietals from regional wineries alongside craft beer and spirits.
- Taste small bites: Participating restaurants offer sample-size dishes
- Live music & pop-ups: Street musicians, photo-booth “chill zone,” and an artisan mini-market add festival vibes along the route.
