Two wine walks taking place during the first El Niño storm of the season — there’s gotta be a “water into wine” joke in there somewhere. The concept is the same at two different scenic destinations. On Saturday, head to Capitola Village for the Capitola Village Sip & Stroll ($55). On Sunday, downtown Santa Cruz hosts its fall Wine Walk ($45). Both events spotlight area wineries at local businesses. – Lily Belli
