The new and improved Reno Wine Walk is back. OK. It's not exactly "new". But, it is a great way to get out, visit with the people of your community, browse the local businesses and sip some great wine in the process. Held the third Saturday of the month, every month, from 2-5pm at the Reno Riverwalk, the Wine Walk is the best ticket in town. This Saturday January 16th, visit any of the participating Riverwalk merchant below, hand over $20, flash your ID and you'll get an ID bracelet and a wine glass that is your ticket to free wine sampling at any business participating in the Reno Wine Walk. The Reno Riverwalk Association only asks that you refrain from bringing strollers or pets because crowds tend to be large.

If you love wine, you'll LOVE the new and improved Reno Wine Walk on Saturday, January 16th. It's a blast. Enjoy Reno wine the responsible way at the Reno Wine Walk.
