OIL CITY, Pa. (EYT) – Tickets are now on sale for the “Oil City Uncorked” Spring Wine Walk scheduled for Friday, April 27, in downtown Oil City.

The event is from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

It features an evening of wine sampling and strolling at various host businesses in the city’s south side business district.

Tickets are $20.00 in advance or $25.00 on the day of the event (while supplies last) and can be purchased at Tipsy Chef, 45 Seneca Street (open 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily) or online at www.oilcitymainstreet.org.

All proceeds of “Oil City Uncorked” benefit the various downtown revitalization efforts of the Oil City Main Street Program.

“Because of Oil City’s geography, we do two wine walks each year,” stated Kathy Bailey, Main Street Manager.

“They are a key fundraiser for our program as well as a way of bringing people into our downtown businesses. People love the opportunity to have an evening on the town and stroll around with friends, sample some wine, and get to know your local businesses owners.”

All wine walk participants must be age 21 or older, and must check-in on the day of the event in person, with valid photo ID and ticket or confirmation in hand.

Participants will receive a map showing the host businesses and wineries, and a complimentary wine glass for wine tasting. Wine samples must be consumed inside the host business, and participants may order bottles of wine and pick them up when they finish their walk. Participants who visit each host venue also have the opportunity to win a free wine gift basket.

Thirteen wineries will be participating in the spring event, including Allegheny Cellars Winery, Black Dog Winery, Buddy Boy Winery @ Farmers Daughter, Courtyard Winery, Deer Creek Winery, Elk Mountain @ Knox Winery Outlet, Laurel Mountain Vineyard, Presque Isle Winery, Twisted Vine Winery, Wapiti Ridge Wine Cellars, Webb Winery, Wilhelm Winery, and The Winery at Wilcox.

Host venues include Clifford’s Carpets & Rug Outlet, Famoore’s Family Restaurant, Friedhaber’s, Gates & Burns Realty, Oil City Library, Oil City Movie Stop, Rural Mental Health Associates, Spilling the Beans Gourmet Coffee House, State Street Furniture, Williams Insurance & Travel, and Wolf Financial Services. All host venues are located within walking distance of each other on the south side of town.

Ticket sales for the Fall Wine Walk will begin this summer. It is slated for Friday, September 21, in the north side business district.
