Wednesday Wine Walk

If you’re looking for the perfect midweek escape, Downtown South Bend’s Wednesday Wine Walk is the kind of event that turns an ordinary evening into a memorable night out. This month’s walk takes place on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most talked-about evenings of the summer.

Hosted by Eat. Drink. Downtown South Bend in partnership with Downtown South Bend, the Wine Walk invites you to explore the city’s vibrant dining scene—glass in hand. Over the course of the evening, you’ll visit a curated selection of locally-owned restaurants and bars, each offering wine tastings that reflect their unique style and flavor.

It’s the ultimate combination of wine culture meets foodie adventure, perfect for both seasoned wine lovers and casual sippers looking to try something new. Whether you prefer a crisp white, a bold red, or a playful rosé, you’ll find something to delight your palate.

• Variety in Every Step: No two stops are alike. Each venue offers a fresh wine experience, and many feature food pairings that elevate each sip.

• A Social, Relaxed Atmosphere: Bring friends, make new ones, or turn it into a unique date night.

• Discover Hidden Gems: The Wine Walk is a great excuse to explore downtown spots you might not have visited before.

Start at one of the participating venues that offers small bites with their pours—it’ll set the tone for the rest of your walk. In between stops, take time to enjoy South Bend’s charming streets, historic architecture, and the lively atmosphere that comes with an event that brings the community together.
