It was such a fun event and Vernon made our experience so comfortable. 10/10 recommend" — Antoinette B

I will definitely visit future festivals." — Marlise C

The very first time I came, one of the vendors had a selection of different charcuterie pieces, breads and oils! It was perfect" — Celeste Renee

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
"We have attended 2. Wouldve been 3 but I misread the dates on the one in our hometown. Great way to get out and find different areas we wouldve never explored. San Antonio's parking was a beast, but my small car took care of that. Ample parking in Temple/Belton and spaced out and had AC. We noticed less wineries at this past weekend's, but we still had a great time at a nice venue/location! A list of confirmed vendors might be a comfort for future attendees. My mother thoroughly enjoyed her purchases. We were able to sample lotions, and chocolates, and jerky and even bacon, as well. We saw some faves from San Antonio and were able to replenish out fave wines, and grab some we didnt before. It was great. I wish the local winery Dancing Bee was in attendance, with their meads, or even Valley Mills bc Ive never tried them. The live music of Mr. Rozell was great all around, but the relaxing wine needed the uptempos to not get too relaxed. The Jones' food truck was tasty per usual. They are a Killeen staple. It would be nice to have other food types as well. The tasting is an excellent price and very smart to charge in that way. Like Germany and its fests, if you charge less for entry they are likely to pay more. We definitely purchase more, but its a treat to try the wines before purchase. Thank you for a great time and look fwd to more." — Mrs Ski
"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
"The event was amazing. It was my very 1st time , and it turned out better than I expected. I loved everything about it from learning about the different wines, to mingling with so many people. I would definitely go again. Thank y'all so much for the experience." — Monique
"Me and girlies went out to a wine fest held at the Granberry Hills Event Center and omg it was simply elegant and amazing. The local wines were very impressive. The popcorn was a hit and the cheeses too. It was a great event well put together. There was live entertainment as well. We enjoyed ourself… we were invited to come back out again and we will be there with bells on 🤣 for another amazing time at this wine fest." — Tikky
"Winofest held in Tyler ❤️🌹CITY Me and my sister had a blast….great music and wine can’t wait to go again soon" — T F
"Texas Wino events are absolutely fantastic! I love the venues, the vibe and of course being able to try all the vendors wines is just great! Highly recommend 👌" — Mercedes S
"Had a great time. The variety of the vendors was a plus. I really like the fact that others vendors outside of wine were present as well. Food trucks and the scenic area outside in the courtyard make the event outstanding. Can't wait to attend another event!" — Althea M
"I enjoy going wine tasting as well as going on the wine tours. I'm looking forward to the next event as well as going to the wineries!!! Thank you Richard for coming up with your company!!! 🥰🥰🥰" — Rita R
"Great opportunity to learn more about wine and interact with local wineries. I loved the souvenir and found, what I believe is going to be, my favorite winery 🥰" — Ulaya D
"Was a fun evening tasting the various wines presented by some of the Texas wineries. Ended up purchasing total of 11 different blends. Other vendors included cheese makers, chocolate makers, salsa/sauces, jewelry etc. we will definitely go back next time it is held in the area. Thanks guys. 👍🏼" — Jenn
"I am so excited to attended this event again! Last year we had a blast and I purchased a case of my favorite wine, treats, hand made body sprays and creams. Also purchased a variety of infused olive oil. Looking forward to another great weekend!!!!!" — Sean S
"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
"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
