Edmonds Wine Walks July 6 and Aug 3

Art Walk Edmonds’ Summer Edmonds Wine Walks July 6th and August 3rd

If you’ve walked by the two murals installed in downtown Edmonds last summer and wondered who was responsible, wonder no more. Those murals were brought to you by Mural Project Edmonds, a committee under Art Walk Edmonds, and were funded in large part with proceeds from the Edmonds Summer Wine Walks.

Art Walk Edmonds is once again inviting you to come sip, shop, socialize and support the arts in Edmonds at the Edmonds Summer Wine Walks. The popular events are back again this year, and online ticketing is already open. Gather your friends and join our wine-loving community on two Saturdays this summer -- July 6th and August 3rd.

Art Walk Edmonds, in partnership with Seattle Uncorked is bringing 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 few options for our wine-loving public to taste.
