Girl Scout Cookie lovers and those who enjoy a wine pairing event won’t want to miss this year’s Girl Scout Cookie Walk & Wine Pairing event presented by Downtown Middletown Inc.

“This is an opportunity for us to do three things at one time. One, to help promote the Girl Scouts, because obviously, when you purchase the cookies, you are supporting our Girl Scouts. Secondly, it’s a way to support our DORA businesses, and get them out there, and finally, because our Women’s Wine & Chocolate Walk has been so popular, we wanted to create an opportunity to give our visitors an early shot at purchasing these tickets,” said Jeff Payne, executive director of Downtown Middletown Inc.

The Girl Scout Cookie Walk & Wine Pairing 2024 will be held on Saturday, March 9, from noon to 4 p.m. Guests can check in at any time between noon and 4 p.m. at the Triple Moon Coffee Company. Tickets are $20 for the Cookie Walk and will include seven Girl Scout Cookies as well as a box (of your choice) to take home when you complete and redeem a passport.

During the hours of the Girl Scout Cookie Walk & Wine Pairing, Downtown Middletown Inc. will offer presale tickets for the 11th Annual Women’s Wine & Chocolate Walk, which will be held on Saturday, May 18, from noon to 6 p.m. Presale tickets will be available online and in-person during the Cookie Walk.

Payne said the ticket presale for the Women’s Wine & Chocolate Walk will close after the cookie walk event, and tickets will not be available for purchase again until early April. (About 800 tickets will be available for the Women’s Wine & Chocolate Walk event.)

At each cookie stop, specialty wine pairings are available for purchase separately and are paid directly to the business when ordered. Check-in will be held at Triple Moon Coffee Company, located at 1100 Central Avenue in downtown Middletown.

After checking in at Triple Moon, guests will walk to seven shops, eateries and establishments to taste seven different Girl Scout Cookies. For participants 21 and over, each “Cookie Stop” will have a specialty selected wine pairing available for purchase for $3 (which is not included in the ticket price.) DORA will be in effect, allowing participants to sip and stroll between stops.

As an added bonus, there will be a “Scavenger Hunt.” Participants will find hidden cookies in downtown businesses, and they can redeem their passports for a free box of Girl Scout Cookies to take home.
