Between the weekend barbecues, the tented food fests and other open-air opportunities for grabbing a bite, it can be a bit difficult to digest all the options available to the free-ranging foodie here in the good old summertime.

If the folks at Red Bank RiverCenter have their way, however, we can simply let our feet carry us about the borough’s sidewalks and storefronts during the latest in a summer series of Food & Wine Walk events.

A self-guided tasting tour that takes in some 30 restaurants, specialty shops, taverns and eateries — many of them new to this edition — the walk runs from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday, with a strolling smorgasbord/ gourmet gauntlet of wares and fare that range from from fine wines and eclectic desserts to tapas, sushi and more.

As has been the policy since 2015, tickets are sold online in advance only, a feature designed to ensure that customers aren’t greeted by a sold-out event when they make the trip to town, while also providing participating restaurant owners with an advance headcount so they can prepare the best experience for their guests.

Tickets can be purchased here until 11 a.m. on the day of the event. Wristbands will be available for pick-up between 1 and 2 p.m. at a location specified at time of purchase by the buyer, with attendees required to show proper ID (must be 21 years or older).

From there, feel free to make the rounds as you see fit, sampling whatever strikes your fancy, and letting your adventurous side show if you’re feeling feisty.
