#BestDamWineWalks started in 2015 Thanks to the wonderful idea from a couple of locals. On the 2nd Saturday of each month (Excl. May - Aug) Boulder City’s Historic District becomes flooded with both locals and tourists looking to explore the beautiful historic district, meet some amazing business owners and make some new wine walk friends. 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. The prize is provided by the Theme Judge from that month.

Looking forward to seeing you out and about in Boulder City!
