Shop and Sip
Businesses in historic downtown Lincoln have something for everyone! There are gifts made by local artisans, collectible art and framing, coins and jewelry, antiques, and even guns. Shop for yourself or find that perfect gift while tasting wine in a walk around city setting.
Tasty Bites
The bonus part of the event is the partnerships between the restaurants, caterers, and food vendors for each retail location where the wine is being poured. Small bites accompany most wineries and breweries that participate. It gives the restaurants a chance to host a tasting table too!
