Like a bottle of wine, Phoenicians will pour onto the streets of Downtown Phoenix on Saturday, May 14 at the annual Urban Wine Walk.

This pedestrian-friendly tour of downtown dining establishments is self-guided — meaning you’re free to wander and visit whichever and however many participating locations you please.
From 1-6 p.m., each spot on the map will offer at least three wine samples for $2-3 each accompanied by a complimentary snack.
The first 400 people to begin their course at CityScape Phoenix will receive this year’s free commemorative wine glass. Plus, for the first year ever, the giveaway is taking place on the second-floor terrace to coincide with the Grand Opening of Downtown Phoenix Inc.’s new storefront office space.
