Free monthly block party at Donkey & Goat Winery featuring Berkeley's natural wine producers and food vendors.

The Berkeley Wine Block hosts its monthly First Friday block party July 3, bringing natural wine and food vendors to West Berkeley. The free event runs 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Donkey & Goat Winery, 1340 5th Street.

Four Berkeley natural wine producers pour tastings: Donkey & Goat, Hammerling Wines, Broc Cellars, and Tessier Winery. Over 20 food vendors join the block party, with live music throughout the afternoon.

Donkey & Goat Club Members get access to a Member Lounge with complimentary library splashes from 4-7 p.m. The event is all ages and walk-in friendly — no tickets required.

Getting there: The winery is a 15-minute walk from Downtown Berkeley BART, or take the #1 or #18 bus to 5th Street. Street parking available in the industrial neighborhood.

Note: While Visit Berkeley lists the event as running 3-8 p.m., the venue's official site confirms the July 3 hours as 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
