The Wine Walk returns to Main Street Half Moon Bay, this Saturday, September 23 from 6 to 9pm. This fundraiser for the local public schools is sponsored by Back to Basics, and this year it features brand-name musicians, more wines and winemakers, and an optional supper grill featuring local produce.

 The evenings events will be emceed by Miranda Wilson of KKSF  103.7 from the Main Street Stage. Headliner Mambo Caribe, featuring Ray Obiedo & Pete Escovedo performs from 6 pm on, while Big Crawdaddy rocks the south stage from 7 to 9 pm.

This year, the event has taken a different approach, inviting Winemakers from the premier appellations in the state to come to the event to  pour and discuss their wines. Three Coastside winemakers will be on hand , including Bob Varner of Varner Wines and Foxglove, Gloria Chirichillo of Domenico  and Leon GLover of Lionheart Vineyards.   In all there will be sixteen wine tasting booths, and in addition to the stellar lineup on the Main and South stages, there will be spectacular performances from Earth Circus, Del Fuego Fire Dancers and Rock Steady Jugglers to enjoy throughout the evening.

Tickets are $25.00 in advance, and include all entertainment and tastings from six wIneries.
