SummerTini Tasting event offers cool drinks July 20

It’s summer time and for Downtown Culver City, that means cooling off with some delicious drinks.

On July 20 from 5 to 9 p.m., Downtown Culver City will host its Third Wednesday SummerTini Tasting. This event will allow local residents or anyone looking to beat the heat to try a variety of flavored martinis with the help of a “passport.”

To take part in the SummerTini Tasting, just visit any participating business in Culver City’s downtown area to obtain a Third Wednesday Passport.

The passport will allow holders access to any and all participating businesses where they can obtain free samples of various flavored martinis. Virgin SummerTea-ni drinks will also be available for the under-21 crowd.

After the festivities end at 9 p.m., passports can be turned in at the Kirk Douglas Theatre where they will be automatically entered into raffle for various prizes such as gift cards for local restaurants.

Downtown Culver City, known as southern California’s best-kept secret, has an alluring mix of historic buildings such as the Culver Hotel, as well as boutiques, theaters, galleries, and restaurants situated along well-manicured, tree-lined streets.

One advantage of being downtown is the area’s universal valet parking system, where you can drop your car off at any one of four convenient locations and then pick it up at another location. One-hour free parking is also available.

Downtown Culver City is located just south of the 10 Freeway and east of the 405, between the intersection of Culver and Washington blvds and Duquesne Ave.
