Texas Wine Festivals And Events

Mark your calendar for these 2023 Texas Wine Festivals & 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 the Texas wineries we have, 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 continue to update.

Please email me if there is a Texas wine event I have not listed. Tickets to events are appreciated!

Activities Offered At Most Texas Wine Festivals

But first … did you know most wine festivals and events want to make everyone happy? In doing so, the program administrators offer fun activities for everyone and every age. So, if anybody in your group doesn’t drink wine or your kids are with you, there will be activities they can participate in. I think that’s a fabulous idea!

Here are a few fun things you can expect at wine festivals. Some are free, and some charge a fee.

  • live music
  • local vendors
  • wine tastings
  • delicious food from food vendors and local restaurants (food trucks)
  • a silent auction
  • grape stomp
  • family games
  • and so much more

2023 Texas Wine Festivals And Events & Wine Trails

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

I found my favorite while attending the Texas Wine Trail in the Texas Hill Country in February 2022. 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. If it’s unavailable, I go to my second love – Cabernet Sauvignon.

The wine industry has exploded here in Texas, and I am super excited about that. I only started enjoying wine about a year in a half ago.

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