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!

"I appreciated everything about the way the staff communicated, made me feel special, and was flexible with last minute changes. I look forward to attending when they return!" — Deb C
"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
"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
"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
"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.

"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 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
"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 my first time at the event. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. There was a good selection of wines and the appetizers were tasty.

I will look forward to participating in another event in my area." — David V
"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 hope more events like this come about here in San Antonio" — Kiara B
"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
"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" — Anthony F
"My husband and I attended our first Texas Winos Festival last weekend in Seguin, TX. We had an amazing time tasting the different wines and visiting with the vendors!

Definitely found some favorite new wines & I look forward to attending more events in the future!

Highly recommend attending a Wino event in a city near you!" — Irma
"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
"It was an amazing time. Great atmosphere with great people. Would highly recommend. The wine selection was fantastic. Most definitely going back." — Willie H
"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
"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
"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

"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

"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

"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 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
