Between the weekend barbecues, the riverside food fests and the many 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 Red Bank Rivercenter and Red Bank Flavour have their way, however, we’ll all just be expected to Walk It Off — and to let our legs and wheels carry us about the borough’s sidewalks and storefronts, for the first in a new monthly round of Food and Wine Walk events.

A self-guided tasting tour that takes in more than two dozen restaurants, specialty shops, taverns and eateries, the inaugural walk runs from 2 to 6 pm this Sunday, with a strolling smorgasbord of wares and fare, from fine wines and eclectic desserts to tapas, sushi and more.

Beginning at 1:30 pm, stop in at Danny’s Grill and Wine Bar (11 Bridge Ave), Teak (64 Monmouth St) or Char Steakhouse (33 Broad St) for a pay-one-price $35 ticket — then make the rounds as you see fit, sampling whatever strikes your fancy (and letting your adventurous side show if you’re feeling feisty).

Future Food and Wine Walks are scheduled for the Sunday afternoons of August 17, September 21 and October 19.
