Vino Lovers: Spring Wine Stroll Set for April

Locals will once again turn the neighborhood’s business districts into wine country, as the date for the Spring Wine Stroll was announced Tuesday.

Organized by the Lincoln Square Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by Provenance Food and Wine, the stroll is a bi-annual celebration of area businesses and wine.

While walking down Lincoln, Montrose and Damen avenues, residents can stop in local shops for dozens of wine and hors d’oeuvres samples.

Extreme wine enthusiasts can purchase all routes for $60. Two of the routes will span Lincoln Avenue, with another in the Damen and Montrose area. 

Stops include Himmel’s, Amy’s Candy Bar, Fountainhead, The Grafton, Planet Access Company Store,, Troquet, Steve Quick Jewelers, Homesoul Shop, Sacred Art, Frill Accessory Boutique, The Perfect Cup, Copper House, It’s a Paws World and Granville Picture Framing, according to a release from the chamber.
