Celebrate Spring at the Locust Street Festival in Walnut Creek – Sip, Stroll & Savor with Corteza Vineyards

Spring is in full swing, and there’s no better way to enjoy the season than at one of Walnut Creek’s most beloved community events – the Locust Street Festival, happening Tuesday, May 14 from 5:30 to 9:00 PM. This evening street celebration brings together the very best of local food, drink, music, art, and family fun, making it the perfect weekday outing for friends, families, and wine lovers alike.

This year, Corteza Vineyards is thrilled to be part of the festivities! We’ll be pouring some of our most popular wines – including our Grenache Rosé, Zinfandel, and Red Blend – right in the heart of the action. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering us for the first time, this is a perfect opportunity to stop by, say hello, and enjoy a glass of wine crafted just a short drive away from Walnut Creek.

The Locust Street Festival is known for its lively, walkable atmosphere and its impressive lineup of offerings:

• • Beer & Wine Garden – Sip on premium local selections, including Corteza’s featured wines.
  • Live Music – Enjoy high-energy performances from local bands and musicians throughout the evening.
  • Street Food – Indulge in a wide range of delicious eats from some of the Bay Area’s favorite food trucks and pop-up vendors.
  • Artisan Vendors – Shop handmade goods, jewelry, and crafts from talented local makers.
  • Kids Activities – Bring the whole family for a night of face painting, games, and interactive fun.
  • Art Activations – Experience art in action with live installations and community art projects.

Whether you’re browsing the artisan stalls, dancing to live music, or exploring with your kids, there’s something for everyone at this vibrant event. And of course, don’t forget to make a stop at the Corteza Vineyards booth to taste what we’ve been working on. Our Grenache Rosé is light and refreshing – perfect for spring – while our Zinfandel and Red Blend offer deeper, more robust flavors for those who love bold reds.

Our team will be on hand to pour, chat, and share more about our winemaking philosophy, vineyard practices, and upcoming events. If you love what you taste, we’ll also have info on how to purchase bottles and join our wine club for exclusive offers and seasonal releases.
