Holiday Wine Walk in Bellingham Nov 8

The Downtown Bellingham Partnership (DBP) announced today details of the 2019 iteration of their annual Holiday Wine Walk event, taking place Friday, November 8 from 5:30 – 9:00 p.m. in downtown Bellingham. A well-known and popular occasion for downtown, the Holiday Wine Walk draws upwards of 600 people to the downtown core for wine tasting at different shops, salons and venues. 

“We’re excited to be bringing the Holiday Wine Walk back for a third year,” Lindsey Payne Johnstone, Events Director for the Downtown Bellingham Partnership, said. “These seasonal events continue to be a community favorite, highlighting some of downtown’s favorite spots.”

Just like past Wine Walks, attendees will have the opportunity to taste a variety of wines from local and regional wineries while shopping at their favorite downtown stores and discovering new downtown businesses. 

Tickets to the event are $30. Each attendee will receive 10 tasting tickets, a commemorative tasting cup, an event guide and a Co-op tote bag.  In addition to the general tickets, the popular VIP experience, at $50, includes everything that comes with a general ticket, plus access to a VIP-only reception at Vinostrology, early check-in to skip the lines, a complimentary glass of red, white or rosé wine, a free bag of popcorn and three additional tasting tickets. Tickets for the event are on sale now and are expected to again sell out early.

Holiday Wine Walk events drive economic activity downtown during a traditionally quiet period, and also supports downtown retailers by bringing patrons downtown before the holiday shopping season begins.  

“This event continues to bring so many people downtown who are excited to check out our businesses during the holidays,” Payne Johnstone, DBP Events Director, said. “That’s a great thing for our city center and we’re excited to support businesses while giving attendees an opportunity to explore downtown.”
