Midland Wine Fest
Oct
5

Midland Wine Fest

This indoor festival showcases 40+ different wines from some incredible wineries from all throughout Texas, each bringing a selection of their most popular, unique, or new wines! This is not the typical festival that has thousands of people in attendance, we are limiting the number to create a better, more personal experience.

You will receive a wine glass & a Wino Fest sheet for notes with the wineries in attendance as well as some educational materials to enhance your wine knowledge. Throughout the event there will be live music, food vendors, and a great time! Your information sheet outlines each winery in attendance which you can use to write down notes about each one.

After you are complete with your flight you are able to stay as long as you would like.
Unlike other festivals who charge an entrance fee for only 10 or so samples of wine, you can try all the different types of wine. We do not try to sell you extra tasting tickets or upsell you in any way.

This festival is designed to promote and support Texas Wineries. We do NOT get any sort of kick-back from any sales made the day of the event. Know you are 100% supporting local TEXAS wineries. Also the prices they are selling their bottles for are what they charge at the wineries so you are getting quite a deal.

What wineries will be in attendance? While we work with hundreds of different wineries throughout the state, this particular festival is designed to promote an eclectic variety. Some big names, but a LOT of smaller boutique wineries. Or wineries that you can only get their wine AT the winery.

Prior to the fest, we will be hosting A virtual class you can enjoy from home to prepare for your weekend.
Enjoy a glass or pint at home as we cover the wine making process and how to get the most out of your wino fest experience.
The class will be held on the Thursday before the event at 7 PM (sign in begins at 6:30 PM) and last until about 8 PM.

Price includes: Admission to the event, ALL tastings throughout your time and souvenir glass.

Cheers!
