If you missed the Wine Walk in downtown Parker last weekend, you missed a great time with fun locals, great wine, fabulous music and scrumptious food.
What happens at a wine walk you might ask?
You pay just $10 per person which gets you a nice specially engraved wine tasting glass and 12 wooden nickles you trade in at participating Parker businesses for a taste of their wine. Each business owner chooses and purchases their wine for this event, it is not paid for by The Town of Parker.
You also receive a goody bag filled with a map and participating businesses, coupons and special events information.
Please respect the Town of Parker laws about finishing each glass of wine in the business where it was poured. Each business participates so that you can get familiar with what they have to offer so the least you can do for your taste is to take a look around while you are sipping your wine and tasting their optional food pairing.

Looks it was a great time Chrissy!
Sounds like a nice event, and I'm glad the photos turned out so nice... I love how there was a drinking rule, too. Hope the glasses were really small.
Next time I'm bringing my own cheese ;-)
