What is Sip 'n' Saunter?

Local wineries, beverage providers, restaurants, and caterers from around the county will serve tastings and small bites at downtown retail locations. Attendees can “Sip & Saunter” their way through downtown’s beautiful tree-lined streets, sample some of the Central Coast’s finest food and drink, and discover the unique retailers in San Luis Obispo.

Will shops be open during the event?

Yes! You are encouraged to shop as you sip; retailers will also be open to the public during the event, but only attendees with a Sip 'n' Saunter wristband will be able to sample drinks and bites.

Can I bring drinks from one location to another?

We ask that you finish your drink at each location and save your glass for the next stop. No alcohol is allowed outside retail shops.

Your cup is reusable! Bring it back downtown for Concerts in the Plaza this summer.

Stay responsible and choose a safe ride!  Free bike racks are available at the Bike Corral at the corner of Monterey & Morro, and public parking is available in all three of the parking structures downtown for free on Sundays!

We strongly encourage all guests to use a designated driver or use ride-share services.
