Attend The Wine Walk Series
If you’re a wine lover and enjoy new experiences involving the lively spirits, get in on the Wine Walk Series that’s filled with live music, wine education, and a gift. But most of all, it’s the well needed time to get out of the house! There’s wine sampling at participating retailers and a charity raffle at the Wine Walk Series at Blakeney Shopping Center on Ardrey Kell and Rea Road in Charlotte, North Carolina. Mark the calendars for August 5, September 2, and October 7 from 6pm to 8pm
You will be attending a fun and worthy event because your $25 tickets also serve as a donation to the featured monthly charity. The ticket price includes a tasting cup, wine tote, wristband, passport and access to samples of wine in the participating retail shops. Here are some of the non-profits in the spotlight that receive a portion of the funds:
