The Texas Reds Steak & Grape Festival has received numerous awards since it debuted in 2007. That year, the Texas Downtown Association named it the 2007 Best Promotional Event. In 2008, the Bryan-College Station Convention and Visitors Bureau presented Texas Reds with the Hometown Hero Award, which recognizes organizations that contribute to tourism by promoting downtown areas.

Cheers! Fans of sizzling steak, live music and, of course, terrific Texas wine will have much to enjoy, celebrate, and toast at the 10TH ANNUAL TEXAS REDS STEAK & GRAPE FESTIVAL in Historic Downtown Bryan. This year’s festival will feature over 30 Texas wineries, numerous craft beer breweries, more than 30 bands, talented artists, the annual steak cook-off, a Kids Zone, and a variety of food vendors. The Saturday night steak dinner, which was revived to great (and sold out) success last year, will return thanks to a partnership with J. Cody’s Steaks and Barbecue in Bryan. But that’s not all! A number of new elements are being added to the festival this year including a Thursday night kick-off dinner at Messina Hof Winery and Resort and a steak and egg brunch on Sunday at 11 AM.

Live music by Texas artists is a cornerstone of Texas Reds. To celebrate the tenth anniversary, officials confirm that festival favorite, Ray Wylie Hubbard{“Snake Farm,” “Screw You We’re From Texas”) will return for a performance on Saturday night. On Sunday afternoon Texas Reds welcomes Grammy Winner Rodney Crowell. A native of Crosby, Texas, Crowell is best-known for his numerous country music hits including “After All This Time” and “I Couldn’t Leave You If I Tried”. A full schedule of live music acts will be announced in the coming weeks,

October is our favorite month here at Texas Hill Country Wineries because it is Texas Wine Month! We have been celebrating Texas Wine Month for 17 years and want to make this years celebration the best. There are now 51 members who will participate in the Trail and all are very excited to help you celebrate this October.

Your ticket, valid throughout the entire month of October, includes a full complimentary tasting at each winery with a limit of 4 wineries a day and a 15% discount on 3 bottle purchases at each winery.  All of these benefits for a ticket price of $70/couple or $40/individual.

The average tasting fee at the 51 participating wineries is $11/person…adding up to $44/person if visiting 4 wineries a day.  And that’s just for ONE day!  You have 31 days to visit 51 wineries.  Your Texas Wine Month Trail ticket is already saving you money, not including the discounts on wine purchases!  Why not jump in on this great deal!?!

The limit to 4 winery tastings a day with your ticket is a way for THCW to promote responsible drinking on the trails.  We do hope you can take your time and enjoy each winery more this way, instead of rushing through tastings and getting to the next stop.  This allows for a more intimate experience at each winery, enjoying the wines and the people.

Each ticket will include a Trail Tasting Passport to be picked up at your first winery (selected at time of ticket purchase).  Each winery you visit will stamp your passport on the day you visit the winery and taste.  Each day you can taste and get stamped at four wineries total.  Couples tickets will receive 1 booklet but both will get the tastings.

October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month!  For the third year now, in support of this very important cause, $5 of each ticket sold for the Texas Wine Month Trail will be donated directly to Susan G Komen for the Cure.  Help us contribute another $4,000+ this year!  To donate directly to Susan G Komen please click here:http://www.komensanantonio.org/make-a-donation/donate-online/

The Gruene Music & Wine Fest began as a one day event in 1987 with the purpose of promoting Texas and Americana music in a fun and relaxed setting while raising funds for the United Way of Comal County. Over the years, it has become a four day celebration not only of Texas and Americana music, but also a celebration of Texas, German and New World wines, specialty beer, food and handcrafted items.

The event continues to grow each year. In recent years, we have been able to expand the “Texas Tastings & Tunes” event on Saturday to include over 40 wine & food producers for tastings and ‘Le Cordon Gruene’ food alley. To further enhance Sunday’s “Texas-Style Musicfest”, we’ve added a Specialty Beer Tasting event, a second stage and the big game on a big screen TV’s. A Craft Market has also been added to both Saturday and Sunday events. In 2010, we added an entirely new “Not From Texas” kickoff event taking place on Thursday and featuring German and New World wines, live music and “Not From Texas” door prizes!

With 30+ wineries attending for a catch-all fee of $25 per person, you’re bound to have an amazing time! Click on the Tickets button below to buy in advance! See you there!

Halls are ready to be decked for the holidays at the dozen Way Out Wineries for this annual kick-off to the most wonderful time of the year. Due to the large area to cover between wineries the trail is offered over two subsequent weekends with food pairings offered at the first weekend only, but you still visit each winery once. While there, enjoy a wine tasting from a complimentary holiday wine glass you pick up at the first winery stop. During the first weekend each winery will have holiday morsels paired with selected wines to help you plan your holiday events. Pick up a unique holiday ornament at each winery to start your decorating, too. Cheers to you and yours on the Way Out Wineries Holiday Road Trip.
