DOWNTOWN NAPERVILLE’S SPRING WINE WALK RETURNS
Tickets are on sale now for the upcoming Downtown Naperville Almost Spring Wine Walk, organizers said.
The annual event will be held from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, March 1, with participants checking in at Sullivan’s Steakhouse, 244 S. Main St., and then strolling around downtown to sample wines. Start times are staggered to spread out participants.
Participants receive a tasting glass and a chance to sample 13 wines along the route, organizers said. Midway through the walk, guests will receive a personal charcuterie cup from Busy Butternut, with small bites waiting at the final stop.
The Wine Walk has been a tradition for more than 15 years, organizers said.
Tickets are $60, and participants are urged to buy them soon as the event is expected to sell out, organizers said.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit ArtForum Naperville to support public art.
