We really want to try to make this easy for you! No need to stress.
Group discounts?
For groups of 3 or more we can create a website for your group and apply a discounted group price.
That way you just send a link to everyone to sign up!
You can track who has registered and we can soft reserve spots so that you are guaranteed spaces for the event and we can customize the look to make it more personal.

All we would need is:

We sometimes team up with companies that offer deals on our events.
Just go to our event page, find the event you like, select the number of tickets the voucher covers, and enter in the voucher code (usually under the bar code.)
Keep in mind you may have to take care of alcohol fees as that can only be purchased through us.
Sold Out! Are there options?
Our events typically sell out a week or more before the date and those that have signed up have already paid for their spots.

There is a chance that some may cancel so just shoot us an e-mail and we will get you on the wait list
We do ask that you not just show at an event, It may create confusion and let-down.

Depending on the type of event, it might be "rain or shine."

In any case, the website for that specific event will be updated every hour if there are any changed.

"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
"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
"I went for the first time a few months back and cannot wait to go again. Some advice for 1st timers: BUY the wine you like!! I decided to wait & order online, but once I saw how much shipping cost (same price as bottles) I decided to wait. This time I’m preparing to leave with at least 4 bottles to save some money😅" — Keisha D

"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
"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 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
"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
"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

"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
"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
