Press release
Forget the parking lot, we’re bringing the tailgate downtown! The BID Annual Wine Walk – Tailgate Style kicks off in Downtown Batavia on Saturday, October 4th, 2025, and it’s everything you love about game day… just with way better drinks.
Here’s the game plan: stroll through our downtown shops, sip wine like a champion, and show off your best tailgating spirit. Red, White, & Blue? Automatic first down. Another team’s colors? We probably won’t throw a flag. Probably. All teams are welcome. Sort of.

“This event is the most popular one of the year, and the tailgate theme brings a fun, spirited twist to enjoying
Downtown Batavia,” said Shannon Maute, Executive Director of the BID. “It’s a chance to support local businesses, taste some great wines, and show other cities how tailgating is really done.” - Join us for an afternoon of wine, fun, and community as we celebrate another year of growth in Downtown Batavia.
So put on your game face, lace up your sneakers (or cleats if you’re feeling dramatic), and get ready to show other cities how tailgating is really done—Batavia style.
