Holiday Wine Walk 2022

Loading Events

Select your 12 wine samples (2 ounces) from the numerous options available at different businesses throughout Downtown Fond du Lac. You’re sure to find something you enjoy.

Choose your ticket based on your tasting preferences:

SWEET WINE TICKETS

If your tastes lean towards the sugary sweet side, like Gewürztraminer, Moscatos, Rieslings, then this is the ticket for you. Your drink choices throughout the night will keep your sweet tooth happy! P.S. Sweet doesn’t mean only white wines.

DRY WINE TICKETS

If the thought of all that sugar makes you pucker up and long for a glass of dark, dry Saramago, Merlot, or Cabernet, then the dry ticket is the one you’ll want. You’ll explore wines that have high and low tannin counts and a range of dark and light coloring, but through it all the sugar content will stay low. P.S. Dry doesn’t mean only red wines.

MOCKTAIL TICKETS

A night of fun doesn’t have to include alcohol! Try out various spritzers and sparkling non-alcoholic beverages.
