Brush off your boots and bring your appetites, fellow foodies, and wine lovers! The annual Tasting Texas Wine + Food Festival is saddling up for its triumphant return from October 26-29, 2023. After a fantastic event last year, this gastronomic gathering promises to be bigger, bolder, and tastier than ever!
Set in the heart of San Antonio at the historic Travis Park, this four-day food and wine extravaganza offers a delicious opportunity to explore the unique flavors of Texas. Picture yourself relishing bites from the finest chefs and restaurants in Texas, rubbing elbows with beverage maestros, and soaking up wisdom from industry experts through engaging panels and presentations.
Better yet, it's a festival that feeds both the belly and the soul. With Culinaria at the helm, the Tasting Texas Festival is indeed a party with a purpose, as the event's beneficiary is the esteemed James Beard Foundation. This year's festivities have committed a substantial $250,000 to supporting culinary students in Texas, investing in the future of food.

- The Grand Tasting at Travis Park: Prepare for an all-out sensory adventure. Dive into a wide variety of food, wines, and cocktails. Rub elbows with experience-makers, deepen your culinary knowledge, and find your new favorite dish-and-drink pairing.
- Sippin' Sunday Brunch at Meadow & Champagne Brunch on the San Antonio River Walk: Savor some of the South's top-rated foods to the tune of soulful live music or aboard a river barge, respectively, both promising to be gastronomic journeys to remember.
- Burgers, Bourbon & Beer at Travis Park: Feast on mouthwatering burgers, sample aged bourbons, and craft beers, and learn a thing or two to up your foodie game.
Tickets are available in various packages - The Alamo, San Juan, River Walk, and Downtown - to suit every budget, with prices ranging from $60 for individual events up to $520 for the full festival experience.
