I am delighted to write about my very first Yelp event! It
just so happens to be a charity event and it’s themed for the summer. The event
is held at the Rock Wall Wine Company, centering the theme of drinking wine and
snacking on munchies. It’s a Summer Sip-nic is what Yelp likes to call it.
Bite size vendors such as Grilled Cheez Guy, Rubio’s, Whole
Foods Market, Luna Bars, Chocolatier Blue, Chunky Pig, etc will be offering
some tasty samplings. Beverage vendors like honest tea, Vita Coco, Alaskan
Brewing Co., Singha Beer, Red Feather Winery, Uproot Wines, Banshee Wines, etc
will be offering their share of liquid to quench your thirst. Without stopping
there, there will be Pop-up Parks, Oakland Ping Pong Party, Ice Carving, DJ,
etc. Sounds very catchy just for the few I named. The catch is this is not a
free event, your contribution is a mere $10.00 to have all of them. Sounds like
a good deal!
The first of how I heard about this cool event was I got an email
invitation from Yelp to attend (very nice that it’s open to the public users
and not just the elites). After you RSVP to attend, they offer a +1 guest to
join you in this little adventure.
Upon arriving, you see lots of cars parked and lots of
empty parking spots. The space is huge! What especially caught my eyes is the
LONG line to get in. But I have to say that it did move rather quickly. After
that need I say more, I was going through vendor to vendor to try out
everything they had. The drawback is that the lines were very long and moved
very slow because everybody wanted food. The short lines were the desserts and
wine. Mostly people were hungry.
