McHenry Downtown Uncorked

McHenry Downtown Uncorked is a downtown wine walk in McHenry, Illinois, on Saturday, September 5, 2026, produced by the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce and capped at 450 tickets, which the organizers say sell out in less than a day. The $50 ticket covers more than 30 samples of selected wines poured inside downtown shops along a roughly one-mile route, plus appetizers and sweets, a commemorative glass, a tote bag, a lanyard, a bottle of water and a complimentary bottle of wine of your choice to take home.

Check-in opens at 12:30 PM at Veteran's Memorial Park at 3400 Pearl Street, with staggered arrival times printed on each ticket, and everyone must be checked in by 2 PM or the ticket is resold. Bring a photo ID regardless of age; wristbands are required to be served. Parking at the park is limited, so use the city's municipal lots. The event is 21 and over, rain or shine, with no refunds, and one ticket per person: extra tickets cannot be used to collect additional bags or bottles.
