Riverbank Rotary Volunteers | Riverbank Cheese and Wine Exposition | California Wine and Cheese Tasting Event

Introducing the all new....CELLAR SQUARE (in the park and beyond)

Surrounded by the beautiful park setting, Cellar Square will be the heart of the expo housing much more than the sampling of the vines. (See map.)The four-block gated area will be home to Cellar Square’s Eatery Row with foods, desserts and beverages for every pallet. And there is more! Step inside the Cheese Pavilion to sample and learn about valley cheese makers. While there, sit and enjoy the Creative Culinary Cooking Shows.

At the southeast corner of Cellar Square will be the ever popular Hawk104.1 Stage. Additionally, the Square will house the Budweiser Pubs, the Micro Brewery, Wine Glasses, Coke, Brookfalls Water, a Family Play area and numerous vendors and exhibits including the Home & Garden Solutions Showcase.

You enter Cellar Square (gated around the park) with a $2.00 donation that is good for all day and goes to support charitable organizations. Kids 12 and under are free. Gates are located at Santa Fe and Sixth Streets, Santa Fe and Seventh Streets and Stanislaus and Seventh Streets.

Family Friendly and Free!

As you enter at Fourth Street you can shop to your hearts content through two huge blocks of Arts and Crafts, information, service and merchant vendors. Stay awhile and enjoy the live entertainment at County Bank

Organizers of the 32nd Riverbank Cheese and Wine Exposition are planning for the biggest year yet! 2008 Expo President Chris Elswick said “...the event committee has worked hard to produce an event that will offer something for everyone. All of the downtown redevelopment projects forced us to go back to the drawing board. In working with the city and local Rotary volunteers, we are excited and ready to roll out the all new Riverbank Cheese and Wine Exposition on October 11th and 12th.”

The event helps nonprofit organizations provided need services. In the past two years the Expo has given back over $100,000 to charitable organizations.
