Wine Walk Saturday: something eggstra special for Easter weekend

Event Date: 
April 4, 2015 - 1:00pm

WINE WALK! Are you excited? Of course you are. Last month broke records with the number of participants at the Downtown Business Association wine walk, so let’s keep up the momentum and head downtown for Carson City’s best monthly event. The flowers are blooming and that makes our capital city that much more beautiful to meander through. Fun fact: It’s National Walk Around Things Day, so downtown is the perfect destination. Grab your friends and family and plan on a great afternoon.

The first Saturday of each month, rain or shine, you can get started at Bella Fiore Wines, Carson Jewelry and Loan, the Carson Nugget, Cactus Jack’s Casino, Remedy’s Bar, or Touched By Angels Gift Shop. Ten dollars gets you a hand stamp, a commemorative wine glass, a map of participating locations, and a raffle ticket – don’t miss the raffle at 5 p.m. in the new Alatte Coffee and Wine Bar at the Carson Nugget.

No matter where you choose to start the walk, there are plenty of participating businesses around. If you start at Bella Fiore to the south, head to Mama Em’s Bell, Book, and Candle, where you’ll also find Cynthia Bunt of FIG Financial. At Comma Coffee you can chat with author Laura Lee White and get a copy of her book 'Generational Gifts: The Legacy of Evelyn Marie.' Don’t neglect to visit Morley’s Books, the Brewery Arts Center, or St. Peter’s Episcopal Church as you head towards the heart of the walk.

Start from the north end, either at Remedy’s Bar or Touched by Angels, you have Little Monster’s Retail Store on Williams, and the shopping center housing Just Brew It, Reruns Thrift and Consignment, Everlasting Photo and Wedding Chapel, Sierra Custom Picture Framing, and Heads and Tails Pampered Pets. Purple Avocado, Bradway Properties, the City Center Hotel, Economy Speed Press, and the Carson City Visitors Center (with special guest Dream Dinners) will be glad to see you stop in as you make your way south.

If you want to start smack dab in the middle of things, you can choose to begin at the Carson Nugget, Cactus Jack’s, or Carson Jewelry and Loan. Telegraph Square will be hopping with stops at Artsy Fartsy, Rockin’ and Rollin’, the Old Globe, the Yarn Niche, the Nevada Day Store and Trading Post, Westside Pour House, and Due Sorrella. Don’t neglect Nevada Vapor Supply on Carson St. or the Elks and Emblem Club on the corner of Nevada and Robinson.

The Downtown Business Association has a new website to keep you updated with the great business that make up the core of our historical downtown. You can check it out at www.DowntownCarson.org. You can also follow the DBA on Facebook here. Be safe, Carson City, and have a wonderful wine walk!
