The Texas Wine Journal is proud to present Texas Wine Talk & Tasting, a Texas vs. The World® roadshow. Join us for an interactive and educational tasting and talk followed by a mixer with Texas wine producers, the Journal and other Lone Star wine lovers.

Don’t miss out! Tickets are $25 and ONLY 25 tickets are available per event. Get yours before they’re gone – 100% of the proceeds benefits the mission of the Texas Wine Journal.

The Texas Wine and Food Consortium Inc. is a Texas nonprofit organization whose mission is to educate consumers, producers, distributors and retailers about Texas wines and wine and food culture. It’s signature program, the Texas Wine Journal, builds awareness for Texas wines through independent, credible and objective ratings, comprehensive reports, and consumer and trade events.

Journal ratings are based on tastings by a panel of judges . All wines are tasted under single blind conditions and organized based on peer group (meaning that the same types of wines are tasted against each other and the producers’ names are not known). Price is also not a known factor when the panel meets.

The 10th Annual Dripping with Taste Wine & Food Festival will return to the same location at the Dripping Springs Ranch Park Event Center. The event center provides the perfect location to showcase Texas wineries, breweries, distilleries, restaurants, chefs, caterers, artisans, and musicians! Come early, and stay with us all day. The festival runs from 12:00 noon – 6:00 pm.

Foodies, wine and beer aficionados, artisan shoppers, and live music fans come from across Texas to take in the ambiance of the Central Texas Hill Country. Once again, this year, we will showcase vodka, rum, gin, and bourbon from our award winning Texas distilleries. It all starts here, with easy access from Austin and San Antonio.

One of the more exciting additions to the festival has been the inclusion of Distilleries. As of last year, rum, vodka, gin and even a little whiskey have joined the party, many of which are made right here in the area. But, the fun doesn’t stop at the tasting. The festival also includes cooking demonstrations, drink mixology classes, live music, specialty vendors, a free photo booth and actual grape stomping. You can even get a t-shirt to prove you did it!

“This isn’t your typical, snooty, wear a tie, spit out good booze festival. It is a true celebration of the Texas Hill Country and the flavor of Texas,” says 9th year festival attendee, Stephanie Holtzendorf.

The 10th Annual 2017 festival takes place on Saturday afternoon, September 9th, at Dripping Springs Ranch Park & Event Center.
