New check-in and registration information

New this year, guests will be able to check-in at 11 a.m.  While the event still starts at noon, the extra time will help get guests through the lines more quickly and be ready to go by the time the event starts!  Check-in has also been relocated to Fifth Street between Center and Washington Streets.

Tickets are $40 in advance or $50 on the day of the event. Ticket quantities are limited and the event sells out, therefore interested guests are encouraged to purchase theirs early. Tickets are available at participating restaurant and retail locations prior to the event, or online at neptix.com.  Any available remaining tickets will be available for purchase at check-in.

All wine strollers are required to bring a valid ID and start at the event check-in tent to get their lanyards.
