"What a great event! I will admit i was leery because it sounded to good to be true! (Wine glass, 40 samples, no huge crowds ) It did not disappoint! I loved meeting all the small business owners and sampling all the varieties of wine and wine infused goodies There was even chocolate and coffee infused treats to be sampled . Of course we got some things to take home as well. I DEF will be doing this again.. Loved the small crowds and the ease of check in!! Add it to the LOVE LIST" — Tammie G
"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
"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
"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
"I appreciated everything about the way the staff communicated, made me feel special, and was flexible with last minute changes. I look forward to attending when they return!" — Deb C
"Great opportunity to learn more about wine and interact with local wineries. I loved the souvenir and found, what I believe is going to be, my favorite winery 🥰" — Ulaya D
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"My cousins and I attended the Wino fest earlier this year at Botanicsl Gardens! This event was awesome, the vendors were informative with excellent wine selections. We had an awesome experience and ready for the next event!" — Latonya B
"You definitely deserve a five-star rating! The event was well-organized and quite relaxing. My group thoroughly enjoyed the music, all of the delicious food, and the wine vendors present. We look forward to attending another event in the future." — Tirea C
"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 love brian and the director snd all of the vendors it was nice to help set up, and to see the other side of how the fest is ran! The wines are to die for very well ran delicious treats and great variety of wines! absolutely love it! Will go again and again and again!!" — Taryn F
"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 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
"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

"The WinoFest held in Ft. Worth was GRRREAATT! The vendors, from
Olive oil seasoning(EVOO) to handbags and clothing was fantastic! The free wine glass and the lady putting free wordings on them was an extra bonus. My high school friends and I enjoyed everything and can’t wait to attend another one.
Good job! 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾" — Alethea M

"My wife and I attended our first event in Fort Worth, and we had a great time! The vintners and owners who presented their wines were extremely friendly and helpful (making no judgments if a wine was not well-received by my palate); and the event staff were really great too (shout out to Reesa [hope I got the spelling right]). We will likely become regulars at these events!" — Jim W

"If you have not attended a Texas Winos Fest in San Antonio or any where in Texas, they have them all over, I really, really urge you to attend. They are very, very casual, they have great food vendors and several other treats, not just wine, which is the best part. But a ton of great sale items, like chocolates, salsas, some desserts, and did I mention the wine. Great wines from several different Texas born and raised wines. And one of the best parts, is, it is so laid back, you start talking with the vintner and you hear their great story behind their wines and flavors. It really makes for a great evening with your friends, or making new friends over good wine, nice conversations, and the best part, several free samples of wine to help you figure out what you like and what you want to take home with you. The Texas Winos crew are all great folks who you’ll want to know and follow on Facebook. So buy your ticket, get your cute Texas Wino glass and cheers to a fun night." — Laura A
"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
"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
"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
"It was my first time attending the WinoFest, and though it was a bit smaller than expected, I still enjoyed it very much. Each winery represented showed up with some great wine choices. I also got a lot of great ideas for stocking stuffers from the vendors who had food, candy and popcorn. I mean, who wouldn't want to get a box of boozy chocolates or gourmet popcorn in their stocking?! The live music was a nice touch as well. Overall, it was a fun experience, and I will definitely attend again next year." — Ace W
"This was our first Texas Wino Event and we are already planning the next one. We had a really good time. Great atmosphere, awesome variety of vendors, everyone was very friendly and personable. Highly recommend attending a Texas Wino event!!" — Yahaira M
"For my first ever experience, I was very impressed with how well organized each vendor was, how prepared each were for sales, and the variety of products. Only thing I’d say was of no interest were the jewelry vendors. Hope to do this again!" — Wendy W

"Second event was just as fun as the first! Though I did enjoy the atmosphere of the first venue, this one was more classy. I like the different pace you get with the change of venues. Would for sure recommend this event for newbies and connoisseurs alike! Can't wait to do a bus tour!" — Chan W
