It’s almost time to sip, shop and socialize again this summer! The popular Edmonds Summer Wine Walks are back this year, and online ticketing is already open. Gather your friends and join our wine-loving community on two Saturdays this summer -- July 8th and August 5th.
Art Walk Edmonds is partnering once again with event coordinator Seattle Uncorked to bring a sampling of luscious local Washington wineries to your favorite downtown Edmonds business locations. Meet the local winemakers who will be pouring tastes of their hand-crafted wines in various shops on a gorgeous summer evening. These award-winning boutique wineries will each have a couple options for our wine-loving public to taste.
Each walk will have 12 Sip Stops. In addition, bonus pours will be available for registered participants at Arista Wine Cellars. Please refer to the Wine Walk page on the Art Walk Edmonds website for a list of the merchants participating in each Wine Walk. At press time, the wineries are still to be determined.
Find a new favorite? Bottles of wine can be purchased directly at the tasting tables or at the Pop-Up Wine Shop set up at Cole Gallery, tax-free for the evening. A percentage of every purchase goes back to Art Walk Edmonds.
Extend your enjoyment of the evening by having dinner in downtown Edmonds! Epulo, Chanterelle, Salt and Iron and 190 Sunset are waiving corkage fees for bottles purchased during Wine Walk on the evening of the events.
Art Walk Edmonds is grateful to Premier Sponsor Windermere Real Estate of Edmonds, along with co-sponsors Ombu Salon + Spa, Coldwell Banker Bain of Edmonds and Cole Gallery for their support. Special thanks goes out to the Edmonds Downtown Alliance, who is sponsoring stylish reusable bottle tote bags for the events, as well as to sponsor Kim Thomas of Windermere Northlake who will be providing complimentary tasting glasses.
As the sole fundraiser of the year for Art Walk Edmonds, participation in the Edmonds Wine Walks will mean you are contributing toward a great cause and supporting the arts in our community. Art Walk Edmonds, a non-profit organization, organizes and promotes the monthly Art Walks held in downtown Edmonds. Learn more about Art Walk Edmonds here
