New Navasota Vino Venture

April 8, 2017 by Willy1550

Looking for some relief from tax season? the Navasota Grimes County Chamber of Commerce recommends its first-ever Groovy Grapes Wine Walk through downtown Navasota this Saturday, April 15th.

Chamber Executive Director Johnny McNally explained to City Council this new venture came about through a survey of Chamber members, and a wine walk was the new event most members wanted.  Thus, he said, the Groovy Grapes Wine Walk came to be.

McNally said more than a dozen downtown businesses will take part in the Go Texan-supported event planned as a four-hour celebration, from 2 to 6.

He explained that visitors will start at the Visitors Center where their ID will be checked and they will be given a wristband.  They will then follow a map taking them from business-to-business where they will be given a small sip of wine.

A “small sip,” McNally clarified, is defined as an ounce.

Go Texan’s Michelle Bobo explained that each of the six dispensing stations have received a special TABC Festival Permit to allow them to take part.  She explained it will be on the honor system.  They keep track of the one-ounce pours they give out during the day, and the Chamber will reimburse them 50 cents for each one.

There’ll also be designated locations serving non-alcoholic drinks from 2 til 6 and local musicians all along the route to add to the fun atmosphere.
