"Went to the last wine fest in Katy with my wife and we ended up buying 10 bottle. We are not wine drinkers! But we had fun, the winners were very nice. Too bad I was driving so could not drink more. Totally recommended" — Eduardo G
"My husband and I went to the Wine Fest in Tyler Texas. It was our 3 year wedding anniversary and we had a BLAST. We purchased some wine, some boozy chocolate, some lotion and some some wax for oil burners. We had a lovely time and would DEFINITELY go again. We’ve told all our family friends about this event and now they want to go too." — Stacey H
"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 loved loved the jerk, popcorn, and bacon vendors. I love my glass that came with the purchase of my ticket. Overall, I would definitely attend another event like this. It was very well organized. I hope more events like this come about here in San Antonio" — Kiara B
"Me and my friends really enjoy attending Texas winos , we go to almost all the events. We always leave with the best experience" — Khadija H
"This was a good time!! I didn't expect to stay as long as I did. I thought maybe an hour or so but I ended up meeting some cool people and 1 hour turned into 4 easily. They had a nice variety of vendors and the atmosphere was really nice. I will be going back and taking a few friends with me this time. I'm interested in trying the other events they offer as well." — J D
"Winofest San Antonio was a great experience, it was my very first wine tasting I have ever attended. Well organized and great atmosphere, we had a great time" — Talia C
"This was my first event, and despite of the weather challenges, it won't be the last. All the vendors were extremely helpful and knowledgeable about wine in general, not just there brands. I enjoyed the food available as well as the vendors present. While I did not partake in listening to the live entertainment, I was glad that was part of the festival. I will definitely visit future festivals." — Marlise C
"It was truly an amazing experience. Easy to find, easy to check in. Ton of wine vendors with many wine options and different snack vendors." — ShaQueila W
"The venue was lovely and all the vendors had uniquely grown or made products. I didn't quite make it through all the samples, and still had a great time trying! My daughter and I had a lovely time and we would definitely join them again." — Naomi G
"The event was so nice! I had an awesome time with my friend and we had the opportunity to taste so many wines. I thoroughly enjoyed the wine infused chocolates and wine infused coffee that I purchased. I would thoroughly recommend for anybody to experience a wine fest with TeamWinos." — BriBriMichelle
"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 my second experience with Winos. I love each of the vendors, I get to restock on my wines from the best Texas owned winery’s. The experience is wonderful, everyone is friendly, the wines are amazing. I always bring different people when coming to this event! The very first time I came, one of the vendors had a selection of different charcuterie pieces, breads and oils! It was perfect" — Celeste Renee
"I had a great time with Texas Winos! The event was well-organized, and the wine selections were excellent. It was a fun and social experience and a great way to explore local Texas wineries without worrying about driving. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a unique group outing or date idea. I’ll be booking another tour soon!" — Kendra E
"It was really cool. Everyone there were so nice and helpful. Customers were also fun. I would go back and think everyone should experience it atleast once!" — Cynthia E
"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. The venue was clean, the music was a nice touch, the check-in procedure was easy, and a lot of people were having a good time. I will look forward to participating in another event in my area." — David V
"Loved the event. It was great, had a wonderful time, the vendors were very knowledgeable about what they were selling and how to pair with chocolates, cigars, and fruits. The location was very easy to find, every one was so very nice. Had an enjoyable time." — Elizabeth P
"A phenomenal time for both my wife and I. We didn't know what to expect and left very happy. My only fear of people being pretentious quickly dissolved as every booth was welcoming, kind, and very informative. Can't wait to attend another!" — Caleb M
"Texas Winofest is ALWAYS a pleasant adventure, and this time was no different. Having attended the Katy Winofest on April 26th, I can tell you that a time was had! There was a wide variety of wineries as well as lots of options for red, white, dry, and sweet. I like that there were both inside and outside food options and lots of seating available. Great job to Texas Winos and staff!" — Tanisha T
"We have attended 2. Wouldve been 3 but I misread the dates on the one in our hometown. Great way to get out and find different areas we wouldve never explored. San Antonio's parking was a beast, but my small car took care of that. Ample parking in Temple/Belton and spaced out and had AC. We noticed less wineries at this past weekend's, but we still had a great time at a nice venue/location! A list of confirmed vendors might be a comfort for future attendees. My mother thoroughly enjoyed her purchases. We were able to sample lotions, and chocolates, and jerky and even bacon, as well. We saw some faves from San Antonio and were able to replenish out fave wines, and grab some we didnt before. It was great. I wish the local winery Dancing Bee was in attendance, with their meads, or even Valley Mills bc Ive never tried them. The live music of Mr. Rozell was great all around, but the relaxing wine needed the uptempos to not get too relaxed. The Jones' food truck was tasty per usual. They are a Killeen staple. It would be nice to have other food types as well. The tasting is an excellent price and very smart to charge in that way. Like Germany and its fests, if you charge less for entry they are likely to pay more. We definitely purchase more, but its a treat to try the wines before purchase. Thank you for a great time and look fwd to more." — Mrs Ski
"Such a fun experience! My husband and I loved meeting and trying all the wonderful wines from the Wineries! Such a fun atmosphere! Already planning to attend the next one and with some more of our friends!" — Kristin A
"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
"Had a great time. The variety of the vendors was a plus. I really like the fact that others vendors outside of wine were present as well. Food trucks and the scenic area outside in the courtyard make the event outstanding. Can't wait to attend another event!" — Althea M
"On Saturday, my husband and I attended the Texas Winos wine fest in Houston! We got to taste over 20 types of wines from friendly vendors and walked out of there with three bottles of wine and a bit tipsy. It was such a fun event and Vernon made our experience so comfortable. 10/10 recommend" — Antoinette B
"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
"We attended both the Longview and Tyler Festival. We enjoyed the talking with the Vendors and learning from them as well as enjoying the atmosphere and live music. It was time and money well spent. We look forward to the next one." — Dennis O
"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
"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
"We had a great afternoon at the Round Rock WinoFest. The small/medium size event was nice. Wines are great and we bought quite of few bottles to take home with us. Vendors were great. Loved the beef jerky, popcorn and cheese." — Christine M
"I enjoy going wine tasting as well as going on the wine tours. I'm looking forward to the next event as well as going to the wineries!!! Thank you Richard for coming up with your company!!! 🥰🥰🥰" — Rita R
"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
"The event was great and there were some great vendors. I found a few new winery's that I had not tried before but are now in my weekend winery rotation. The belly of the beast was awesome as well as the beef jerky and popcorn vendor. There was also a vendor with flavored olive oil that was excellent. I wish there was wino merchandise for sale but the glasses were nice. The venue and set up was great. The venue needs to have more parking" — Angela T
"I absolutely love these events!! The unique wines from the various vendors, trinkets and food also available keep me coming back!! I’ve been to 3 events so far and looking forward to many more in the future!!" — Kimberly P
"I attended the Wino in Tyler,Tx on 4/26/25 & everyone was so friendly! Loved the atmosphere & the complimentary wine glass! Definitely found some favorite new wines & I look forward to attending more events in the future! Originally was supposed to rain heavily this day & I thought they would cancel the event but thankfully they had a Plan B & hosted the event indoors! Highly recommend attending a Wino event in a city near you!" — Irma
"I love when these events are in town. Ive gone to 3 already and ive got to experience different wines and vineyards and each vendor that goes is very passionate about what they do and are super nice. Everyone has always given me great recommendations and have taught me more about wines. I was pretty new to wine when I first went but now I can tell my friends what kind of wine I like and I can recommend some to them as well!" — Isabel G
"Me and girlies went out to a wine fest held at the Granberry Hills Event Center and omg it was simply elegant and amazing. The local wines were very impressive. The popcorn was a hit and the cheeses too. It was a great event well put together. There was live entertainment as well. We enjoyed ourself… we were invited to come back out again and we will be there with bells on 🤣 for another amazing time at this wine fest." — Tikky
"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
"I attended the event in Arlington, Texas and I had a blast. There was a good energy present due to the good music, good food and WINE!!!! I purchased a bottle and the wonderful sauces I have made with it as well as drinks!!!!!! I can’t wait for the next event!" — LeAnn V
"We've been to several of these events and they are always a bunch of fun and we end up buying several bottles of wine when it's all said and done! Highly recommend! 🍷" — Hugo 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
"The wines were fantastic and I learned a little about each wine represented. I enjoyed the other vendors as well! Will definitely do again and again!!" — Pattie C
"This was our second time going, and just like last time, it didn’t disappoint. We loved how many wineries were there, and it was awesome to see even more vendors this time. The venue was beautiful, and we really liked that there was plenty of seating, made it easy to just relax and enjoy everything." — Alex V
"I am so excited to attended this event again! Last year we had a blast and I purchased a case of my favorite wine, treats, hand made body sprays and creams. Also purchased a variety of infused olive oil. Looking forward to another great weekend!!!!!" — Sean S
"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
"Such a fun event! It's very personal and you really get the opportunity to talk to all the vendor's, and meet people who are really passionate about their craft." — Ryan B
"This is the second event I have attended. It's easy to get into and the wineries are excellent. Looking forward to attending another event in the future." — Paige W
"It was an amazing event. Me and my friends had a great time enjoying all the different vendors. Everyone was also so friendly and the food vendors were pretty great too. Definitely a perfect date night. We’ve gone multiple times now." — Keanu H
"This is a wonderful event! I had an incredible time with my friends at my last one. Everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming. We had great photos opportunities and loved the wine glasses! Definitely an event I look forward to going to again!" — Rebecca B
"My first time experiencing a Wine Fest, as well as my mom and boyfriend, it was great there were no big crowds or long lines. Everyone was so polite in including my elderly mom that was in an electrical scooter in this event since it was indoors and had a step that the vendors were up on, so she was a bit far away from the actual table but they were generous in speaking louder so she could hear them explaining the different types of wine. I will definitely be back to the wine fest specifically in Tyler Tx!" — Mackenzie S
"Texas Wino Fest was a joyous occasion celebrating top Texas wineries. The diverse wine selection was impressive , enhanced by a variety of other vendors. Tickets were reasonably priced, offering great value for money. Set in picturesque locations, the festival created an ideal atmosphere for wine lovers. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an enjoyable and enriching wine-tasting experience!" — Doctor B
"This was such a fun event ! There are so many local wines to taste and it was cool learning about so many wineries I had never heard of before! We can’t wait to go again this year! A must go to for any wine lover!" — Annie K
