For a $5 donation, walkers received a card that detailed the participating wine locations. Each business offered a different sample of wine along with crackers, cheese and other light snacks. As the night progressed, some businesses even ran out of wine due to the crowd.

Every business on the walk contributed a bottle of wine as part of a prize drawing. Two names were drawn at the conclusion of the night and the winners each will receive 17 bottles of wine, Comunale said.
