EVENT: Idyllwild 22nd Annual Art Walk and Wine Tasting

AAI Art Walk 11am-5pm - Wine Walk 2-5pm

Start your great art hunt by visiting our galleries, art hot spots, and artist booths.  You do not need a ticket to visit the art locations and free maps will be available at AAI Central located at the Courtyard Gallery, 54240 Ridgeview Drive.   
Continue your Idyllwild experience with wine tasting from 2pm-5pm.  A ticket is required for the tastings, which includes a keepsake wine glass, entertainment by local musicians, and a variety of cheese, crackers and grapes.  Best of all, ticket holders will get the opportunity to sip great wine while mingling with other wine and art enthusiasts.  Non-drinking friends may join you in the wine pouring areas without a ticket.  We discourage bringing children and pets.  
 

We want you to enjoy all that Idyllwild has to offer, so will have free shuttles running around the village starting at 11am, finishing at 6pm.

    Road Conditions

    All roads to Idyllwild are now open with only one exception, the 243 at Banning to Idyllwild. However, just follow I-10 to the Monterey Road exit that turns into the 74 then the 243 into Idyllwild.  It's worth the drive!
