Tickets are on sale at downtownrutland.com/sipandshop.
Ticket options include:
$25 All-Inclusive Ticket: With this ticket, you can sample spirits, beer, wine, and food from vendors hosted at downtown Rutland businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve purchased a ticket! Now what?
Check in at the Downtown Rutland Partnership’s office, located at 28 Center St., starting at 4:45 pm to collect a map, tasting glass, and shopping bag. Following that, guests will explore the various participating locations at your own pace and order.
For those who purchased a ticket that includes alcohol sampling, you must present a valid ID at check-in. You must be 21 or older to sample alcoholic beverages. Drinking responsibly is highly encouraged, and we strongly suggest pre-arranging safe transportation.

Of course! If you don’t drink alcohol or are a designated driver, you can still enjoy the Sip & Shop with a $15 non-drinking ticket option. This ticket allows you to sample food and taste non-alcoholic drink vendors, receive an entry into the raffles, and be eligible for door prizes!
Will I be able to buy a ticket the night of the event?
Certainly! While you can purchase a ticket at the Downtown Rutland Partnership office on the day of the event, we highly recommend securing your ticket online in advance. This way, you’ll have extra time to enjoy the event and minimize the time spent waiting in line!
