Please Note: This application is for retail stores and restaurants located within downtown walnut creek, and businesses looking to purchase a booth at the starting location. If you are a winery, brewery, or other beverage distributor, or outside food/eatery please submit our "Pouring & Tasting Partner Application.

Join us at Walnut Creek Uncorked on Thursday, June 26th, from 5:30-8:30 PM! This popular event brings the community together to sip, savor, and stroll through downtown shops while enjoying tastings from local beverage providers and small bites from local eateries. 

With over 750 attendees and 40 participating businesses in 2024, this is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your products, connect with new customers, and promote your business in a lively and engaging setting. All participating businesses will be listed on the event website and event map.

Each host business is required to provide a beverage tasting (wine, beer or spirit) and small food bites. We encouraged hosts to partner with local businesses to provide their beverage and/or food samples. If preferred, host businesses can choose for WCD to pair them with a pouring partner. Please note, all businesses who choose to not be paired are required to declare your beverage and food plans with WCD prior to the event. Participants are encouraged to get creative and make their space stand out to attract attendees.

Spots are limited and granted on a first-come, first-served basis, so sign up early to secure your place. We can’t wait to Sip, Savor & Stroll with you!

If you have any questions, please reach out to kelsey@walnutcreekdowntown.com.
