The Best Dam Wine Walk has a minimum of 25 participating businesses.
Each month has a special theme that participants are encouraged to dress up! As they explore the shops and make their way around town one of the businesses will be judging the theme participants and 1 lucky winner is revealed at the end of the evening.
