We will make sure it gets to the appropriate person for consideration.
Deadline to Reschedule?

Most events we have a 72 hour cut-off time to reschedule.

Message us to timestamp your request and we will keep a credit on file until you find a date that works better.

We really want to try to make this easy for you! No need to stress.
Group discounts?

For groups of 3 or more we can create a website for your group and apply a discounted group price.
That way you just send a link to everyone to sign up!
You can track who has registered and we can soft reserve spots so that you are guaranteed spaces for the event and we can customize the look to make it more personal.

All we would need is:
- Date of the event(look at our event page and find which one you want)
- Name you would like to give the group
- Approximate guest count
How do I use a voucher?

We sometimes team up with companies that offer deals on our events.
Just go to our event page, find the event you like, select the number of tickets the voucher covers, and enter in the voucher code (usually under the bar code.)
Keep in mind you may have to take care of alcohol fees as that can only be purchased through us.
Sold Out! Are there options?

Our events typically sell out a week or more before the date and those that have signed up have already paid for their spots.

There is a chance that some may cancel so just shoot us an e-mail and we will get you on the wait list
We do ask that you not just show at an event, It may create confusion and let-down.
Weather: Do we cancel?

Depending on the type of event, it might be "rain or shine."

In any case, the website for that specific event will be updated every hour if there are any changed.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Me and girlies went out to a wine fest held at the Granberry Hills Event Center and omg it was simply elegant and amazing. The local wines were very impressive. The popcorn was a hit and the cheeses too. It was a great event well put together. There was live entertainment as well. We enjoyed ourself… we were invited to come back out again and we will be there with bells on 🤣 for another amazing time at this wine fest.
-- Tikky
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you have not attended a Texas Winos Fest in San Antonio or any where in Texas, they have them all over, I really, really urge you to attend. They are very, very casual, they have great food vendors and several other treats, not just wine, which is the best part. But a ton of great sale items, like chocolates, salsas, some desserts, and did I mention the wine. Great wines from several different Texas born and raised wines. And one of the best parts, is, it is so laid back, you start talking with the vintner and you hear their great story behind their wines and flavors. It really makes for a great evening with your friends, or making new friends over good wine, nice conversations, and the best part, several free samples of wine to help you figure out what you like and what you want to take home with you. The Texas Winos crew are all great folks who you’ll want to know and follow on Facebook. So buy your ticket, get your cute Texas Wino glass and cheers to a fun night.
-- Laura A
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an absolutely amazing time at Texas Winos event in Fort Worth on May 10 (my birthday 😊). Everyone was very kind and informative about their products. I rate my experience 10 out 10 and I look forward to attending more of their events in the near future.
-- Tyronda Ransom
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Went to the last wine fest in Katy with my wife and we ended up buying 10 bottle. We are not wine drinkers! But we had fun, the winners were very nice. Too bad I was driving so could not drink more. Totally recommended
-- Eduardo G
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My cousins and I attended the Wino fest earlier this year at Botanicsl Gardens! This event was awesome, the vendors were informative with excellent wine selections. We had an awesome experience and ready for the next event!
-- Latonya B
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was my first time going to a wine tasting in Texas, I've been to plenty out of the state, and honestly this was the best one, there were plenty of booths to try new wines. Crowds don't bother me, specially if your just enjoy the atmosphere and wine. The vendors were nice and willing to answer any question we had on the wine. Definitely would be coming back and will be more friends, I was a little afraid to bring people since it was my first time, but they didn't disappoint at all. I love that there were more than just wine booths, they had some that had snacks to try, and they were good snacks too. There were plenty of different wines to try as well. Hopefully the weather next will be good so we can enjoy everything outside.
-- Niyla W
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Texas Wino events are absolutely fantastic! I love the venues, the vibe and of course being able to try all the vendors wines is just great! Highly recommend 👌
-- Mercedes S
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I attended the event in Arlington, Texas and I had a blast. There was a good energy present due to the good music, good food and WINE!!!! I purchased a bottle and the wonderful sauces I have made with it as well as drinks!!!!!! I can’t wait for the next event!
-- LeAnn V
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had a great time. The variety of the vendors was a plus. I really like the fact that others vendors outside of wine were present as well. Food trucks and the scenic area outside in the courtyard make the event outstanding. Can't wait to attend another event!
-- Althea M

Highly recommended for anyone seeking an enjoyable and enriching wine-tasting experience!
-- Doctor B
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a great event! I will admit i was leery because it sounded to good to be true! (Wine glass, 40 samples, no huge crowds ) It did not disappoint! I loved meeting all the small business owners and sampling all the varieties of wine and wine infused goodies There was even chocolate and coffee infused treats to be sampled . Of course we got some things to take home as well. I DEF will be doing this again.. Loved the small crowds and the ease of check in!! Add it to the LOVE LIST
-- Tammie G
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The event was great and there were some great vendors. I found a few new winery's that I had not tried before but are now in my weekend winery rotation. The belly of the beast was awesome as well as the beef jerky and popcorn vendor. There was also a vendor with flavored olive oil that was excellent. I wish there was wino merchandise for sale but the glasses were nice. The venue and set up was great. The venue needs to have more parking
-- Angela T
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was my second experience with Winos. I love each of the vendors, I get to restock on my wines from the best Texas owned winery’s. The experience is wonderful, everyone is friendly, the wines are amazing. I always bring different people when coming to this event! The very first time I came, one of the vendors had a selection of different charcuterie pieces, breads and oils! It was perfect
-- Celeste Renee

They had a nice variety of vendors and the atmosphere was really nice. I will be going back and taking a few friends with me this time. I'm interested in trying the other events they offer as well.

We had pizza and a piece of the most delicious cake I've ever eaten!! Then we got a free glass and bought some bottles of wines to take home with us!! We look forward to the next event!!

-- Annie K
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Texas winos always has great events. The ones I’ve attended in Austin are always packed and the vendors are friendly and knowledgeable. I always walk away with a bottle or two. This time, I bought two bottles and cool wine opening/preservation kit!
-- Courtney W
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was my first time attending the WinoFest, and though it was a bit smaller than expected, I still enjoyed it very much. Each winery represented showed up with some great wine choices. I also got a lot of great ideas for stocking stuffers from the vendors who had food, candy and popcorn. I mean, who wouldn't want to get a box of boozy chocolates or gourmet popcorn in their stocking?! The live music was a nice touch as well. Overall, it was a fun experience, and I will definitely attend again next year.
-- Ace W
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The wine fest in tyler was fun. My sister was able to test her palette as a new wine 🍷 lover. I was kindof disappointed on the amount of vendors, but the ones that were there were very good.
-- Marilyn C
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Second event was just as fun as the first! Though I did enjoy the atmosphere of the first venue, this one was more classy. I like the different pace you get with the change of venues. Would for sure recommend this event for newbies and connoisseurs alike! Can't wait to do a bus tour!
-- Chan W
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The chosen vendors were amazing. Lots of different types of Texas wines with great people telling us all about their products. The venue was fun. I found several wines with different unique flavors. I went home with a cotton candy flavored rose and a dandelion wine.
-- Lauren M
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a great time at the wino fest in Arlington. They had a large variety of different wines from around Texas and the event was beautifully decorated.
-- Harley M

-- Jenn
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ On Saturday, my husband and I attended the Texas Winos wine fest in Houston! We got to taste over 20 types of wines from friendly vendors and walked out of there with three bottles of wine and a bit tipsy. It was such a fun event and Vernon made our experience so comfortable. 10/10 recommend
-- Antoinette B
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was impressed with the amount of wineries that were present I brought a friend with me and we really had a great time and making contact with others who also received great information about their winery this was not my first visit and I will attend again thanks for reaching out
-- Denise J
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My friend and I really enjoyed ourselves at this event. All of the vendors were really nice. I love that they had other vendors outside of wine vendors. I loved loved the jerk, popcorn, and bacon vendors. I love my glass that came with the purchase of my ticket. Overall, I would definitely attend another event like this. It was very well organized. I hope more events like this come about here in San Antonio
-- Kiara B
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely wonderful event! Very well organized and informational experience. I learned about and sampled multiple wines being amazing by more than a few; I left with 2 bottles and a few snacks! My out of town guest also loved the event and suggested the need for events similar in our hometown of Memphis. Keep it up Richard!
-- Sheliah S
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was such a fun experience! I havnt had the opportunity to try many wines, especially reds. I’ve previously only drank wine, but I found a newfound love for the reds! The vendors were so pleasant and fun to talk to. Some vendors had a great show they put on, as well. I also loved the food (popcorn and dip especially) that I was able to taste. Overall, 10/10 would do again!
-- Taylor B

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My husband and I went to the Wine Fest in Tyler Texas. It was our 3 year wedding anniversary and we had a BLAST. We purchased some wine, some boozy chocolate, some lotion and some some wax for oil burners. We had a lovely time and would DEFINITELY go again. We’ve told all our family friends about this event and now they want to go too.
-- Stacey H
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have attended this event twice. 11/2024 and 03/2025 and it has not disappointed either time. The vast selection of wine and snacks from all across Texas are great and the atmosphere is welcoming. The wine glasses that you get with your visit or the cutest.
-- Janika H
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You definitely deserve a five-star rating! The event was well-organized and quite relaxing. My group thoroughly enjoyed the music, all of the delicious food, and the wine vendors present. We look forward to attending another event in the future.
-- Tirea C
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was our second time going, and just like last time, it didn’t disappoint. We loved how many wineries were there, and it was awesome to see even more vendors this time. The venue was beautiful, and we really liked that there was plenty of seating, made it easy to just relax and enjoy everything.
-- Alex V
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My husband and I have attended these events. And I gotta say it was fun. My husband is not much of a wine drinker and yet he found new wine to try! Will definitely attend in the near future again! This event was very interactive, loved to learn all about the different kinds of wine.
-- Susana V
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Texas Winos was a blast. Attended the one in Belton and it was my first time experience. I enjoyed all wine that was presented from the coffee to the flowers. There were also other vendors from cheese, jewelry, sauces, chocolate, popcorn, etc. It was an amazing experience.
-- Rosalyn D
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We came to the Winofest uncertain of what to expect. Great people, awesome vendors, good food, and tasty treats. Bought a bunch of hot sauce, wine, and olive oils. Can’t wait for the next one in Seguin. Already phoned in for the reup.
-- Jason M
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We've been to several of these events and they are always a bunch of fun and we end up buying several bottles of wine when it's all said and done! Highly recommend! 🍷
-- Hugo R
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the second event I have attended. It's easy to get into and the wineries are excellent. Looking forward to attending another event in the future.
-- Paige W
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an incredible time at my last wine tasting event with Texas Winos. The vendors were great and from many different cities in the state. Whether your preference is red or white, I can guarantee there will be something you like. I was even able to buy a few bottles to take home directly from the vendors.
-- Christopher S
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved the event. It was great, had a wonderful time, the vendors were very knowledgeable about what they were selling and how to pair with chocolates, cigars, and fruits. The location was very easy to find, every one was so very nice. Had an enjoyable time.
-- Elizabeth P
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A phenomenal time for both my wife and I. We didn't know what to expect and left very happy. My only fear of people being pretentious quickly dissolved as every booth was welcoming, kind, and very informative. Can't wait to attend another!
-- Caleb M
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My first time experiencing a Wine Fest, as well as my mom and boyfriend, it was great there were no big crowds or long lines. Everyone was so polite in including my elderly mom that was in an electrical scooter in this event since it was indoors and had a step that the vendors were up on, so she was a bit far away from the actual table but they were generous in speaking louder so she could hear them explaining the different types of wine. I will definitely be back to the wine fest specifically in Tyler Tx!
-- Mackenzie S
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For my first ever experience, I was very impressed with how well organized each vendor was, how prepared each were for sales, and the variety of products. Only thing I’d say was of no interest were the jewelry vendors. Hope to do this again!
-- Wendy W
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The event was so nice! I had an awesome time with my friend and we had the opportunity to taste so many wines. I thoroughly enjoyed the wine infused chocolates and wine infused coffee that I purchased. I would thoroughly recommend for anybody to experience a wine fest with TeamWinos.
-- BriBriMichelle
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brought my fiancé and mom to one of these events and we had a great time. Beyond trying some great wines, we also got this olive oil that was INCREDIBLE! The only thing to keep in mind is that it can get very busy and get congested so try to go when there is more availability if you do not like crowds.
-- Jessica S
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an amazing time at wino festival San Antonio and enjoyed every minute of it! I love the soul food truck, amaretto chocolates, vanilla beans 🫘 from Sidney and all the wines! I made new friends there as well!
-- Cindy L
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My fiancé & I went to the one in Seguin, TX. We had the best of time! The selection of wine was superb! The venue was peaceful, easy to find and had ample parking space. It was so awesome, we went ahead and booked another event in Harker Heights, TX. Can't wait to try some new wines!
-- Nicole R
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was such a fun event, with not just wine but with food and plenty of cool people. I went to the one in Seguin. I was actually surprised how crowded it was, but they have a good time system in place when it comes to checking in. You do get to sample about 4 wines from each table with the option to buy. I would definitely attend again especially in different cities just to see who I can run into and how the vibe is.
-- Nicole M
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We have attended 2. Wouldve been 3 but I misread the dates on the one in our hometown. Great way to get out and find different areas we wouldve never explored. San Antonio's parking was a beast, but my small car took care of that. Ample parking in Temple/Belton and spaced out and had AC. We noticed less wineries at this past weekend's, but we still had a great time at a nice venue/location! A list of confirmed vendors might be a comfort for future attendees. My mother thoroughly enjoyed her purchases. We were able to sample lotions, and chocolates, and jerky and even bacon, as well. We saw some faves from San Antonio and were able to replenish out fave wines, and grab some we didnt before. It was great. I wish the local winery Dancing Bee was in attendance, with their meads, or even Valley Mills bc Ive never tried them. The live music of Mr. Rozell was great all around, but the relaxing wine needed the uptempos to not get too relaxed. The Jones' food truck was tasty per usual. They are a Killeen staple. It would be nice to have other food types as well. The tasting is an excellent price and very smart to charge in that way. Like Germany and its fests, if you charge less for entry they are likely to pay more. We definitely purchase more, but its a treat to try the wines before purchase. Thank you for a great time and look fwd to more.
-- Mrs Ski
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was definitely a surprise. I get to the venue and it was beautifully decorsted from floor to ceiling. Some ve donde had their own decor and interesting wine for us to try. And for a bonus surpris? They had cheese and bacon which were definitely a must buy. The detailed description of the variety of flavors were very helpul because it traches you which one you prefer, red or white wine. Would experience it again with friends!
-- Ezer C
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was my first time at the event. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. There was a good selection of wines and the appetizers were tasty. The venue was clean, the music was a nice touch, the check-in procedure was easy, and a lot of people were having a good time. I will look forward to participating in another event in my area.
-- David V
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I went for the first time a few months back and cannot wait to go again. Some advice for 1st timers: BUY the wine you like!! I decided to wait & order online, but once I saw how much shipping cost (same price as bottles) I decided to wait. This time I’m preparing to leave with at least 4 bottles to save some money😅
-- Keisha D
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The venue was lovely and all the vendors had uniquely grown or made products. I didn't quite make it through all the samples, and still had a great time trying! My daughter and I had a lovely time and we would definitely join them again.
-- Naomi G
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Winofest San Antonio was a great experience, it was my very first wine tasting I have ever attended. Well organized and great atmosphere, we had a great time
-- Talia C
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a great time with Texas Winos! The event was well-organized, and the wine selections were excellent. It was a fun and social experience and a great way to explore local Texas wineries without worrying about driving. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a unique group outing or date idea. I’ll be booking another tour soon!
-- Kendra E
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some friend and I had a wonderful birthday celebration at a Winos event this weekend. The wineries present were friendly and informative with a great variety of white and reds, sweet and dry options. There were also a couple food trucks and vendors inside to help with snacking and if you have a little too much wine. This was my second event and I can’t wait to attend more. I highly recommend for a girl weekend, birthday weekend or just any opportunity to have fun with friends or family who enjoy wine.
-- Whitney M
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a GREAT time. Not only were there lovely booths for each business that made and sold wine, but there were sponsors that created and sold beautiful jewelry, body butters, candles, and really cool wine opening kits. Texas Winos attracts people that love to socialize and enjoy wine. I went solo and still spoke to sponsors and guests alike. The venue was beautiful. The hosts were friendly and professional. The sponsors wanted to enjoy ourselves and didnt pressure anyone to purchase. I've told lots of people about my experience. I would do it again if they came back. Thank you Texas Winos!
-- Kyarra M
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Went to the the Wine Festival sponsored by Texas Winos in Fort Worth on Saturday at Southside Preservation Hall. What a great venue!!! My friend and I had a fun time trying out the terrific selection of Texas wines, and the music was a nice backdrop. It was good to see some old favorites, as well as some new vendors, such as Decadent Saint, with a variety of extra hard mixers that were simply delicious! Multiple drink recipes possible with each flavor, they're all natural, and don't even require refrigeration. Some excellent food options, and the gourmet chocolate and olive oil vendors provided samples of their wonderful products😋. Recommend anyone to attend one of these events-you will not be disappointed!
-- Pamela R
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Always super fun to attend! This is the 3rd time I have attended and never disappoints. Vendors are great and selection is fabulous. Definitely give it a try. You won’t be sorry!!!
-- Tamara
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great experience with the WineFest event! The team managing the event were super helpful and responsive and very committed to offering a quality, fun experience. Grateful for all the vendors sharing their wines and their passion! I'm more of a dry wine drinker - so eager to check out another Texas Winos event in the future
-- Lisa H
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a fun experience! My husband and I loved meeting and trying all the wonderful wines from the Wineries! Such a fun atmosphere! Already planning to attend the next one and with some more of our friends!
-- Kristin A
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyed the Wino fest immensely. No pushy sales people. pleasant company. They were willing to answer all questions.other visitors were amazing also. No Karen's at all
-- Katheryn H
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Texas WinoFest is PHENOMENAL! This experience will leave your taste buds dancing from the variety of amazing wines, venders, complimentary souvenirs, food trucks, infused treats and more! Don’t be fooled. You DON’T wanna miss out. This will be my 2nd one & more to come!
-- Albany B
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The wines were fantastic and I learned a little about each wine represented. I enjoyed the other vendors as well! Will definitely do again and again!!
-- Pattie C
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was an amazing event. Me and my friends had a great time enjoying all the different vendors. Everyone was also so friendly and the food vendors were pretty great too. Definitely a perfect date night. We’ve gone multiple times now.
-- Keanu H
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was truly an amazing experience. Easy to find, easy to check in. Ton of wine vendors with many wine options and different snack vendors.
-- ShaQueila W
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These events are super amazing and they always have a wide variety of amazing venders to try from! Would 10/10 recommend new and even experienced wine drinkers to attend!
-- Jonan
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The WinoFest held in Ft. Worth was GRRREAATT! The vendors, from Olive oil seasoning(EVOO) to handbags and clothing was fantastic! The free wine glass and the lady putting free wordings on them was an extra bonus. My high school friends and I enjoyed everything and can’t wait to attend another one. Good job! 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
-- Alethea M
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a fun event! It's very personal and you really get the opportunity to talk to all the vendor's, and meet people who are really passionate about their craft.

-- Taryn F
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We attended both the Longview and Tyler Festival. We enjoyed the talking with the Vendors and learning from them as well as enjoying the atmosphere and live music. It was time and money well spent. We look forward to the next one.
-- Dennis O
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a great afternoon at the Round Rock WinoFest. The small/medium size event was nice. Wines are great and we bought quite of few bottles to take home with us. Vendors were great. Loved the beef jerky, popcorn and cheese.
-- Christine M
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My wife and I attended our first event in Fort Worth, and we had a great time! The vintners and owners who presented their wines were extremely friendly and helpful (making no judgments if a wine was not well-received by my palate); and the event staff were really great too (shout out to Reesa [hope I got the spelling right]). We will likely become regulars at these events!
-- Jim W
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wine Fest was a super fun event! Loved getting to try so many new-to-me wines. Admittedly I spent way more money than I expected but only because everything was so yummy. I will definitely be back. My ONLY complaint is I wish there were more food options to snack on while there but it honestly wasn't that big of a deal.
-- Sarah W
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I went to a Wino event in February, and enjoyed it very much! There were many wineries present, each with several wine options for people to sample- and the pours were very generous. Also, there were a few food vendors that were equally good. The icing on the cake was the low price; I have not been anywhere else with so many samples for so little!
-- Monica P

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I attended the Wino in Tyler,Tx on 4/26/25 & everyone was so friendly! Loved the atmosphere & the complimentary wine glass! Definitely found some favorite new wines & I look forward to attending more events in the future! Originally was supposed to rain heavily this day & I thought they would cancel the event but thankfully they had a Plan B & hosted the event indoors! Highly recommend attending a Wino event in a city near you!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love when these events are in town. Ive gone to 3 already and ive got to experience different wines and vineyards and each vendor that goes is very passionate about what they do and are super nice. Everyone has always given me great recommendations and have taught me more about wines. I was pretty new to wine when I first went but now I can tell my friends what kind of wine I like and I can recommend some to them as well!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We attended the Texas Wino event on April 26, 2025 as always we had an awesome time. We enjoyed seeing some vendors we have supported in the past and were excited to me and sample those vendors that was our first time sipping with them. In addition the food vendor choice was tasty! Can’t wait until the next event. Thanks

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The event was amazing. It was my very 1st time , and it turned out better than I expected. I loved everything about it from learning about the different wines, to mingling with so many people. I would definitely go again. Thank y'all so much for the experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was my first event, and despite of the weather challenges, it won't be the last. All the vendors were extremely helpful and knowledgeable about wine in general, not just there brands. I enjoyed the food available as well as the vendors present. While I did not partake in listening to the live entertainment, I was glad that was part of the festival. I will definitely visit future festivals.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve been to 2 events so far with two different friends. We’ve all had so much fun! The vendors are friendly and informative. Sample selection is great. Even the food was delicious. Mixing and mingling with people while enjoying the various tastes and flavors is a fun experience on its own. I’ll definitely find someone else to share this with!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Texas Winofest is ALWAYS a pleasant adventure, and this time was no different. Having attended the Katy Winofest on April 26th, I can tell you that a time was had! There was a wide variety of wineries as well as lots of options for red, white, dry, and sweet. I like that there were both inside and outside food options and lots of seating available. Great job to Texas Winos and staff!
