"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

"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
"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’ve told all our family friends about this event and now they want to go too." — Stacey H

I will definitely visit future festivals." — Marlise C

I will look forward to participating in another event in my area." — David V
"My wife and I attended our first event in Fort Worth, and we had a great time!

We will likely become regulars at these events!" — Jim W

"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
"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

"Some friend and I had a wonderful birthday celebration at a Winos event this weekend. The wineries present were friendly and informative with a great variety of white and reds, sweet and dry options. There were also a couple food trucks and vendors inside to help with snacking and if you have a little too much wine. This was my second event and I can’t wait to attend more. I highly recommend for a girl weekend, birthday weekend or just any opportunity to have fun with friends or family who enjoy wine." — Whitney M
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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 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

"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
"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
"Texas Winos was a blast. Attended the one in Belton and it was my first time experience. I enjoyed all wine that was presented from the coffee to the flowers. There were also other vendors from cheese, jewelry, sauces, chocolate, popcorn, etc. It was an amazing experience." — Rosalyn D

The vendors were so pleasant and fun to talk to. Some vendors had a great show they put on, as well. I also loved the food (popcorn and dip especially) that I was able to taste. Overall, 10/10 would do again!" — Taylor B
"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
"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
"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
"Very nice environment friendly people overall was great....only thing I'm a vegetarian so would be nice if they had more vegan options because I like to eat...yeah skinny fat person haha even tho they had one vegan option still had a wonderful time so 5 stars for me😉" — James C
