During the Spring Wine Walk, Fond du Lac’s downtown businesses become “tasting rooms”, allowing ticketholders the opportunity to explore downtown Fond du Lac while sampling various sweet and dry wines, or mocktails and other NA beverages. Stroll from business to business exploring what downtown has to offer and take advantage of exclusive deals, specials, and activities while you sip from your souvenir glass.
We extend our sincere thanks to our presenting sponsor, National Exchange Bank and Trust — a longstanding champion of downtown and a dedicated supporter of the entire Fond du Lac community.
Lights, camera, sip! 🍷🎬 This year’s Spring Wine Walk theme is At The Movies, and you’re invited to be the star. Grab your friends, dress up as your favorite movie characters. From classic films to modern blockbusters, show off your cinematic style, and make it a red-carpet-worthy day full of fun, flavor, and unforgettable moments.
Select your 12 wine samples (2 ounces) from the numerous options available at various businesses throughout Downtown Fond du Lac. Ticketholders can purchase one standard wine ticket to choose from a sweet or dry wine at each stop! You’re sure to find something you enjoy.
