3rd Annual Redwood City Wine Walk

The 3rd Annual Redwood City Wine Walk is a charity wine walk held annually in Redwood City, California — a self-guided tasting event organized by the Redwood City Education Foundation (RCEF) to benefit K-8 public school students in the city and North Fair Oaks. General admission tickets are priced at $40, with the event scheduled for May 12, 2026. Now in its third year, the walk is co-presented with the Rotary Club of Redwood City.

The 3rd Annual Redwood City Wine Walk takes participants through Redwood City at a self-directed pace, with wine poured at multiple stops along a designated route. The event doubles as a fundraiser: proceeds support RCEF's programs, which serve over 2,000 students across four schools annually and channel more than $600,000 per year into the local school community. That direct connection between ticket purchase and classroom impact distinguishes this walk from purely social tasting events. RCEF has operated in Redwood City for over 40 years, funding math and reading support, mental health counseling, STEAM lessons, and social-emotional learning programs at schools including Hoover, Garfield, and Taft.

General admission at $40 covers wine tastings at participating stops along the walk route. VIP pricing had not been announced at time of publication. Attendees should check the RCEF website for route details, check-in location, and any updates on designated driver options as the May 12, 2026 date approaches. As a self-guided format, participants can move between stops at their own pace, making it accessible for a range of group sizes and comfort levels.

Redwood City sits in San Mateo County on the San Francisco Peninsula, positioned between San Francisco Bay and the Santa Cruz Mountains. The broader Bay Area draws wines from nearby appellations including the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA, known for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, as well as producers across Northern California. While specific wineries or wine selections for the 3rd Annual Redwood City Wine Walk had not been confirmed in available sources, the charitable mission and accessible $40 price point make it a practical entry point for those new to wine walk formats.
