Why Wine Walks?

The Wine Walk is a fantastic opportunity for businesses to welcome the community into their spaces with themed wine and food pairings Last season, the Happy Hour Wine Walk brought over 850 people through our business doors, offering a unique advertising opportunity. 

Please plan on providing wine samples and pairings for approximately 80-150 people. 

Chamber Members in the designated TAMA areas are welcome to participate.  First-time participants are not required to be a Chamber Member.
