Evanston Wine Walk 2025

Enjoy wine tastings in dozens of locally, independently-owned shops on Main Street and Dempster St in Evanston. There will be small bites at many stops and live music along the way. Plus, it's for a good cause!

This year's event benefits Books & Breakfast, an Evanston-based non-profit. Since 2013, B&B has worked with District 65 to disrupt the impact of racism on Black and Latinx students and fill gaps in resources for children who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. A typical day at the reinvented B&B program usually includes a good morning hug, a healthy meal, time with an individual tutor, and the reward of game time. One hundred percent of Wine Walk profits will be donated to this very worthy organization.

Please note, you are choosing the route that you START on. We encourage you to stay on this route until 6:30pm and then go anywhere you like on the whole map, but it's not mandatory. Why do we do this? To moderate flow, avoid overcrowding and make sure that all participating businesses see some happy faces that evening. Thanks for understanding.

Full refunds are available until September 4th.
