Vino in the Village Wine Walk in Pasadena

Wine tastings usually mean one room and one pour at a time. Vino in the Village flips that: you get a glass, a wristband and a map, then walk Pasadena's Playhouse Village stopping at shops, restaurants and other local businesses that open their doors for tastings. It is a relaxed Saturday afternoon on foot, and a good pick if you are sorting through the things to do in Los Angeles County this month.

When: Saturday, October 10, 2026, 2:00 to 5:00 PM Where: Playhouse Village, starting near 38 South El Molino Avenue, Pasadena Tickets: $30 to $50 on Eventbrite Ages: 21 and over

What to expect

Your ticket includes a Vino in the Village wristband, a sampling glass and a map listing every tasting location. Some participating businesses add small bites or special offers for ticket holders, and the restaurants along the route stay open, so you can easily turn the walk into dinner. The organizers describe the idea simply: swirl, sip, stroll.

Because each stop is a working business, the pace is yours. Linger where you like the wine, skip a stop if the line is long, and browse the shops while you are inside. For anyone who likes a food-and-drink outing with a bit of wandering, this sits comfortably among the LA food festivals that happen close to the 626.

Good to know

• Check in at the Playhouse Plaza Courtyard by 4 PM.
• It runs rain or shine.
• Designated drivers and other non-drinking guests can walk along, since every location is open for business, but they cannot take the tastings, bites or offers.
• Cancellations made more than 7 days before the event are refunded minus Eventbrite fees.

Getting there

Playhouse Village is a short walk from the Metro A Line Memorial Park station, which is the easiest way to avoid hunting for a space on a busy afternoon. Public garages are nearby if you drive, and a rideshare home is wise when the afternoon is built around wine.
