Texas Wine Festivals And Events

Mark your calendar for these 2025 Texas Wine Festivals and Events.

You don’t have to travel to Napa for good wine. Texas has wine …and it’s good! After all, Texas is the fifth-largest wine-producing region in the US! I can’t count all our Texas wineries, but I know they are in every inch of the Lone Star State. Here is a list of all the Texas Wine Festivals and Events we have gathered thus far.

This list will be updated regularly with new festivals and dates throughout the year.

But first, here are a few fun things you can expect at a wine and music festival. Some are free, and some charge a fee.

• live music
• Local vendors selling handmade items
• wine tastings and wine pairings
• delicious food from food vendors and local restaurants (food trucks)
• a silent auction, usually from local businesses
• grape stomp – get down and dirty – wear old clothes!
• family games
• kid’s activities and rides
• and so much more

2025 Texas Wine Festivals And Events & Wine Trails

With October being Texas Wine Month, expect many things to happen this month, including new wines, tasting champion wines, and possibly finding your new favorites. What better way to find that perfect wine than to try it at these festivals?

The wine industry has experienced significant growth here in Texas, and I am incredibly excited about that.

I found my favorite wine while attending the Texas Wine Trail in the Texas Hill Country for the first time in February ’22, and I am still enjoying it today. Not only did I realize I’m a red wine lover, but Tempranillo has the taste I love—so now, I ask for it first. Next, I go to my second love, Cabernet Sauvignon. But I have no problem with any red wine—I love it all!

For a Texas wine experience, peek at these events and pick the ones you like! I have listed wine festivals by month of the year.

The Texas wine industry has put its unique spin on the movement with the tagline “Come On Over Y’all.” With our state’s renowned hospitality and deep connection to wine, the Texas Department of Agriculture’s Uncork Texas Wines program has joined forces with several key wine organizations—including Texas Hill Country Wineries—to elevate this campaign.

THCW members are pulling out all the stops to make October a memorable month. Events across the Hill Country at member wineries include:

• Live Music: Enjoy wine paired with live bands at Pedernales Cellars, Dry Comal Creek, Kerrville Hills Winery, and more.
• Interactive Experiences: From painting and a cornhole competition to murder mystery parties and spooky cellar tours at Messina Hof, Texas Wine Collective and others.
• Wine Dinners & Pairings: Enjoy Texas wine while experiencing thoughtfully curated culinary events at Duchman Family Winery, Ron Yates, Texas Wine Collective, Bending Branch, and more.
• THCW San Antonio Road Show: Discover a world of Texas wine in San Antonio on October 24th!
• And the THCW Texas Wine Month Passport event is happening all month! 

Social Media Contest

To make this campaign even more exciting, THCW is also launching a social media contest, inviting wine lovers to share photos of their “Come On Over Y’all” get-togethers featuring Texas wine. By using the hashtags #ComeOverOctober and #ComeOverOctoberYall, participants can win incredible prizes, including Texas Hill Country Winery Passports for one year.
