Plano Wine Walk at Willow Bend

Grab your besties for a brand new event – the Plano Wine Walk at Willow Bend presented by McGuiness Dermatology and Aesthetics! Plano Magazine invites wine lovers to a fun evening sampling multiple wines while escaping the winter weather inside The Shops at Willow Bend.

Feb. 27  5:30-8:30 p.m.

The Plano Wine Walk at Willow Bend is postponed until further notice, but don’t be sad! You can still purchase tickets to our monthly Happy Hour Hikes at Legacy West in Plano, and sample beer, wine, cocktails and non-alcoholic refreshers throughout the neighborhood. Tickets available for Sept., Oct., Nov. and Dec. 2020 at the link below.

How It Works:

Attendees will purchase a ticket to receive their collectible glass at check-in, and taste at least 15 different wines at participating locations throughout The Shops at Willow Bend. All featured wines come from small, boutique wineries.

The Plano Wine Walk at Willow Bend also features pop-up vendors, live music and special shopping discounts for attendees. At the end of the event, attendees will be entered into a raffle drawing for prizes.

Plus, we’ve got a scavenger hunt! Participants look for hidden items in the wine tasting locations for the chance to win one of our fancy disco ball wine glasses.

Check-In Info:

Check-in will be located next to Ascension Coffee inside the new main entrance to The Shops at Willow Bend (where the new restaurants are located). This area is officially called The District. The closest parking is the valet at The District or the parking garage at Neiman Marcus. More FAQs are answered at the bottom of this page.

Enjoy our event responsibly. Guests are responsible for making plans for a sober ride home after this event.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What time should I arrive?
The Wine Walk check-in opens at 5:30pm and closes at 8pm.

What do I need to bring with me?
All attendees must bring a government-issued photo I.D. with proof of age on it to participate. No one under 21 will be issued a tasting glass or wristband (no exceptions).

Can I bring guests under the age of 21 with me?
Absolutely. The mall is still open to the public during this time, so guests of all ages are welcome to attend, just not to receive the wristband and sample wine.

Can I walk around the mall with wine in my glass?
Yes, as long as you stay in the mall (you cannot bring wine outdoors).

Where in Plano can I purchase the wines sampled?
A limited number of each wine will be available for purchase at Jacob’s Spirits at 5400 14th St. in East Plano.

    In the new 2017 Dates and Themes section, is September 13 correct? September 13 is a Wednesday and I thought the Art & Wine Walk was always the second Thursday of each month.

    Can’t wait for the Art & Wine Walk season to begin!

        Jennifer,
        I have volunteered & attended the Art walk before. Price is listed as $12.00 if purchased in advance. I’m only finding $14.65 ( it used to be $13.00 & something before). Can I buy the $12.00 ticket anywhere tomorrow downtown?

          Hi April,
          You are correct: last year’s presale ticket price was $10 and this year it is $12. The price at the event goes up to $18 so the cheapest ticket is always online through Prekindle. Prekindle automatically adds processing fees of a few dollars that we cannot change.
