The 39th year of being THE BEST!

Topping area polls as a must-experience event, this beloved festival offers four full days of unique events including wine dinners with celebrity chefs, yoga, live music, interactive experiences, culinary tents, and of course wine tastings.

THIS EVENT IS RAIN OR SHINE! The Village of Baytowne Wharf is always open to the public. Even during special events, guests are welcome to visit shops and merchants. Nondrinking festival guests are welcome to attend the Grand Wine Tasting with their friends at no charge—they will not receive a wristband.
