Wine Walk Returning to San Mateo

City officials recently met to plan the annual fundraising event for the Downtown San Mateo Association.

The San Mateo Wine Walk will return this year, after the annual fundraising event was canceled last year due to multiple circumstances.

The Logistics Committee for the Wine Walk of the Downtown San Mateo Association recently traveled to Los Gatos for a “Wine Walk Summit,” where the city of Los Gatos has run a successful Wine Walk.

San Mateo Director of Parks and Recreation Sheila Canzian, San Mateo Police Chief Susan Manheimer and Los Gatos Police Chief Scott Seaman were among those who participated in the summit, as well as San Mateo Area Chamber President Linda Asbury and Los Gatos Chamber President Dianne Anderson.

Event Co-Chairs Liz Mayta and Liz DePrimo expressed enthusiasm that the Downtown San Mateo Association is gearing toward bringing back the popular Wine Walk in September.

According to Yelp, "The Wine Walk is the Association's premier event to help promote and showcase Downtown's unique character and its abundant shops, restaurants and businesses. Visitors to San Mateo purchase a wine glass and tasting tickets and visit businesses sampling wines and hors d'oeuvres."

San Mateo Patch will update this story as more information about the Wine Walk is released.

I see that I meant to type "...that connect us to the past," but I accidentally typedRead More "...and connect us to the past." I think my meaning came through, though. Yes, the world does not need another national chain retail store or restaurant, which is surely what they're planning to put in there.

Yes Bren, agree with you....good point.....really what it seems to come down to is money vs. theRead More good of the community and richness of traditions. And all despite the Master Plan for that site in San Mateo that seems to require an ice skating rink or similar recreational facility AT THAT SITE, and all despite the fact the Ice Chalet would like to continue operations there. The Developer has made it difficult to impossible for any ice rink to operate there (tricky it seems)....so they can get a cookie cutter retail outlet in ? .....very, very sad for the youth of the community.

I think the issue is much larger than whether children will experience stress. That ice rink is aRead More local institution, dating back at least to when Fashion Island was there. It's terrible for communities to lose so many landmarks and connect us to the past.
