Summer Sip & Stroll: “Uncorked” Returns w/ Soccer + Live Music (Walnut Creek)

Walnut Creek’s favorite summer sip-and-stroll returns June 18 with a new global soccer–inspired twist. Hosted by the Walnut Creek Downtown Association, Uncorked combines wine tasting, live entertainment, shopping, and downtown vibes for a festive summer evening from 5–8:30 p.m.
Guests can enjoy 30+ wine, beer, and spirits tastings while strolling through downtown Walnut Creek, along with small bites, live music, artisan vendors, and immersive experiences along the way. This year’s event also features Visit Walnut Creek’s Sip & Score Lounge in Water Light Plaza, where guests can sip, socialize, and catch a live global soccer tournament match stream in a lively fan atmosphere.
Tickets are $65 and designated driver tickets are available for $35. Learn more and purchase tickets at walnutcreekdowntown.com.
 Uncorked is a fundraising event that helps fund Walnut Creek Downtown Association’s community programming, like Painted Pianos, street festivals, and more.
