Great wine, delicious food and good friends. All come to mind when you mention Downtown Bay City's Wine Walk! Feel Italian with a taste of Bolla Valpolicealla with Pasta Carbonara and Caprese Salad. Then stroll down the street for Cabernet Sauvignon and Port Dijonnais. How cool.

On Thursday, September 22, 2011, from 5 to 10 p.m., fifteen of Downtown's finest restaurants and pubs - the highest number ever! - will come together to create an evening of fine wine and food samplings. And there will be music throughout the street by Gregg Barber, Scott Baker & The Universal Expression, and The Swaggering Rogues.

Tickets are limited and a sold-out event is expected again this year. For $30 each attendee will receive two samplings of wine and food at participating locations, plus a souvenir 2011 Wine Walk glass.
