Delavan Wine Walk to feature drink, food samples
The Delavan–Darien Rotary Club along with Delavan Connect Communities and Visit Delavan will host the annual Wine Walk.
Guests can sip, stroll, and shop throughout historic downtown and participate in tastings of fine wines from various wine regions throughout the world on the walk, which runs 3:30 to 7:30 p.m., on Saturday, May 22.
Enjoy a red and a white wine tasting along with food samplings at various downtown businesses.
“This is a great opportunity for a night out with friends or that special someone and to experience downtown Delavan,” organizers said.
Check-in will begin at 3 p.m. that day at the open storefront, 237 E. Walworth Ave. (next to La Monarca.) Each participant will receive a tasting passport, a map, a complimentary bottle of water and a souvenir Wine Walk wine glass tucked in a Wine Walk branded tote.

For those who find a wine or two that are a “must enjoy again” variety, participants will have the opportunity to purchase the wines served at the end of the event at Licoreria La Costera.
