Downtown Everett’s holiday season opens with an evening that pairs shopping with tasting. A dozen boutiques and galleries each pour a different local, hand-crafted wine or spirit while you browse.

A ticket covers 12 tasting tickets, a tasting glass and a six-compartment wine tote. Check in at the Downtown Everett Association or the Schack Art Center.

Early bird tickets are $30 through October 18.

Thursday, November 19, 4:00 to 8:00 PM across Downtown Everett.
