Downtown riverfront Wine Walk

On the third Saturday of each month, the Wine Walk is hosted by bars, clubs, wine sellers and and other merchants in the Truckee River area in downtown Reno from 2 to 5 p.m. 

This Saturday, the theme is South African wines and the walk helps support Koz's Kids, a Reno Rodeo Foundation program that helps raise funds to provide for the basic needs of children in Washoe County.

On Saturday, visit pretty much anybody along the waterfront to get a map of the participants, then visit any of them to purchase a commemorative glass for $20 and a bracelet that gets you tastings at every stop (and there are a lot).

The Wine Walk is nice because it involves many places that don't normally serve wine, from eateries like the Truckee River Eats & Sweets ice cream parlor to the Antiques and Treasures emporium of all things ancient and cool.
