Gather your friends and raise a glass to summer at Downtown Crystal Lake’s second annual Midsummer Wine Walk!

The experience begins at your designated check-in location, where you’ll collect your keepsake wine glass, lanyard, event passport, keepsake tote, and wristband.

Then sip your way around the world in Downtown Crystal Lake! Stroll through our charming downtown and visit 15 pouring locations, each offering samples of both red and white wines from a different region of the world. Enjoy tasty snacks, in-store specials, live musicians, and great company along the way.

As the event winds down, head to the gazebo in Depot Park to trade in your wristband for your take-home bottle of wine. Then take advantage of the great restaurants downtown!

Tickets are limited and go on sale at 10 am, May 7, 2026. Set a reminder!
