Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get tickets?

Tickets will be available online soon! Check back in early May for purchase details. We highly recommend buying early, as the event may sell out. A limited number may be available on-site if not sold out in advance.

Is wine the only drink available?

Nope! While wine is the star, you’ll also find beer, spirits, and non-alcoholic options at select locations.

Do designated drivers need a ticket?

Yes, we offer a Designated Driver ticket at a discounted rate. DDs receive a bottle of water, a commemorative tote bag, and access to select non-alcoholic tastings and all downtown entertainment and activities. DD tickets must be purchased with a regular Uncorked ticket.

Can I bring my kids?

Children and strollers are allowed, but kids must be accompanied by an adult ticket holder. Keep in mind, many participating businesses have limited space, so be cautious with strollers indoors.

Can I bring my dog?

Leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome in outdoor areas and at the starting location. However, entry into individual businesses is subject to their rules and some may not allow pets indoors.

Will there be food?

Yes, select tasting stops will have small bites. However, these are limited and not full meals, so we strongly recommend dining before or after the event at one of our amazing downtown restaurants. 

What’s your refund policy?

Tickets are non-refundable, but they are transferable if you're unable to attend. The event is rain or shine.
