Village Fall Wine Walk
Big Bear
Lake Village Business Association
Shopping, Walking and
Wine Tasting Saturday Afternoon
The
Village Business Association (VBA) of Big Bear Lake hosts its annual Fall Wine
Walk, Saturday, September 20, 2014 from 3:30 P.M. until 7:00 P.M. in the Big
Bear Lake Village shopping district. The merchant-organized event will showcase
fine wines from around the world and the Village’s unique businesses, with a
portion of the proceeds to be donated to Big Bear Valley Education Trust,
Christmas in the Village and numerous other events for the community.
A
Wine Walk is a creative social event that combines shopping with food and wine
tasting as attendees walk from merchant to merchant. The VBA Wine Walk is a
growing social and economically stimulating event, which showcases the Village
as a shopping destination to visitors and locals alike.
“The
local Wine Walk has grown into a fabulous event that we designed to feature
merchants here in the Village, but to also benefit all businesses and
organizations in the valley.” said Cheri Wilson, chair of the VBA Wine Walk and
owner of Home Warehouse Design Center, a participating store in the event. The
fall wine walk is a great opportunity to taste a variety of wines you might not
ever have a chance to taste. The VBA is
anticipating a sell-out event of 1200 participants to enjoy an afternoon of
great wines, wonderful hors d'oeuvres, music, mountain air and lake views.
The
Wine Walk has become a popular event for the VBA and the merchants. With every event, the list of participating
merchants has grown and the event has drawn attendees from as far away as Las
Vegas, Nevada. Surpassing all seasonal
and other events, the Wine Walk has become the most successful event produced
and hosted by the VBA in terms of funds raised and donations.
At
$40 each can be purchased online @bigbearlakevillage.com or at The UPS Store.
The Wine Walk begins at 3:30 P.M. and closes at 7:00 P.M. shortly
followed by a raffle prize drawing for event attendees. Wine Walk participants must be at least 21
years of age. Ticketholders receive a
map of participating businesses, a commemorative wine glass, 12 wine tasting
tickets and a wristband at check-in.
Guest check-in will begin at 2:30 P.M., on the corner of Pine Knot
Avenue and Village Drive.
