While you’re there, participate in a run/walk together, take a tour, listen to great music, and more.
For adults only Wherever your destination might be, schedule both the location and calendar date around a local wine walk. Many towns and cities in Wisconsin host annual and bi-annual wine walks. Some offer dress-up themes, but all offer the opportunity to visit local businesses and taste wine. Be sure to reserve tickets in advance! Many sell out. Wine walks are the perfect opportunity to explore a new town.
