It’s been a year or so since I’ve Sipped my way around Park Avenue. The quarterly function is organized by the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce and the Park Avenue Merchants Association. The popular wine event is a nice way to gain knowledge of the variety businesses along Park Avenue.
We were invited to this Sold Out event by Yelp Orlando, were quickly checked in and with glasses in hand we were on our way. The pink logo (wine glass) signs were posted outside of all participating venues, making the route easy to navigate.
Attendees were also given a map to guide them. As you can see, the participants stretched up and down Park Avenue. Most stops had a white and a red wine with an accompanying food item. Some stops went all out, with several different wine selections, bubbly and numerous gourmet food pairings.
We enjoyed chatting with attendees and merchants alike. Happily, it was a beautiful sunset on Park Avenue and the rain held off until after the 8pm ending time.
Thanks to Yelp Orlando and the many nice shops and restaurants who hosted such a nice event! The Winter Park Sip & Stroll is a fun event that is getting bigger and better with each passing year.
