Thanks for the comment! We have been scratching our heads — trying to figure out what would be the best events the Downtown can host, and when would be the best times to host a particular event.

During next weeks Wine Walk we will be asking attendees how they like the event, and how we can make it better.

If people attend this Wine Walk — and like it — we already have a slot in mind in the fall for a wine walk!

The wine walk is a great idea. I hope you have one every few months.

Well — every two months sounds good, but for now probably twice a year is what we are planning!

Thanks for the interest, and come into my shop and visit if you make it to the wine walk. I own the Stone Griffin Gallery, and I will be hosting Burrell School Vineyards & Winery during the Wine Walk.

I am so looking forward to this event. Thanks to Downtown Campbell for making it a great place to visit!

In your announcement for the Wine Walk it mentions "taste treats"...Ideas on what kind of treats will be offered?

Hello! We are really excited about the event and were wondering if dogs are invited, too?

Thanks!

Dog are always welcome in Downtown Campbell!

Some events are easier to 'integrate' pets into them, and some are more difficult. This being the first wine walk, we don't have any experience on how many people will attend and how or where the crowds will gather or bunch up.

If it is OK with you to have Fido (and maybe attendant) stay out of the really crowded spots — then I say bring 'em! Some spots will have plenty of room, and most everyone welcomes dogs!

I had a fun time at the Wine Walk last night and it seemed to be a great success. However, I did not discover until this morning the purpose of the wrist bands. You cannot expect people to notice the offer buried in a handout they receive at the beginning of the walk. The persons handing out the wrist bands could have told us that we can receive discounts at the restaurants. I'm sure a lot of business was lost by the restaurants because of the oversight.

Overall though a great evening! Thanks.

This event sounds like a lot of fun, but your web pages aren't terribly clear. For instance a friend sent me to this one:

http://www.downtowncampbell.com/festivities/winewalk/

But that doesn't tell you anything about the event itself or present an obvious link to something that does. I googled this page:

http://www.downtowncampbell.com/eventinfo.php?eventid=9272

but it repeats some of the info of the other page and still misses something I feel is very important. I have yet to see any page get around to saying what you get with your purchase. Are the tastings on the walk free with purchase? Is there enough food so we shouldn't have dinner before, or is there more wine than food so some may want to bring or expect to buy something so we're not drinking on an empty stomach?

Also, your map doesn't show any walk direction or make it clear which of the dozens of listed shops are participating or where they are. How does this work?
