A commemorative poster is a signature of Art, Sip & Stroll, and this year’s poster by Chris Cammarata reflects the vibrancy and spirit of Yountville with an energy-filled wine glass swirled with a splash of liquid color against a black background, among the paints and brush of an artist at work.
“The arts are an integral and vital part of Yountville” said Ronda Schaer, Yountville Arts Commission chair. “Our Art Walk spreads throughout the town and our Art, Sip & Stroll is conveniently located in the heart of Yountville, around the Community Center and surrounding areas.”
Presented by Yountville Arts and the town of Yountville, Art, Sip & Stroll provides a fun, festive and interactive day for all ages.
There is no charge for the event but you can buy packages to taste wine from 16 local tasting rooms and wineries.
Wine tasting packages are on sale for $40 at www.artsipstroll.com. They include a reusable Go-Vino wine glass, four wine tasting tokens and a 2024 Art, Sip & Stroll poster signed by Chris Cammarata. The presale ends on May 16.
