Austin Wine Week 2026
APRIL 26 - MAY 2, 2026
Saddle Up, Austin. It’s wine o’clock all week long.
Get ready—Austin Wine Week is about to take over the city! From unique tastings to chef collaborations and pop-ups, every event is a celebration of Texas talent, terroir, and taste. We’re rallying Austin (and our neighbors) to come together, raise a glass, and toast to everything that makes Texas wine so damn special. Expect bold flavors, local flair, and a few unexpected pairings that’ll make you say, “Only in Texas.”
This isn’t just a week—it’s a movement. Let’s sip, celebrate, and show the world how Texas does wine.
Cheers, y'all!

Lone Star Ladies Wine Dinner
THURSDAY, APRIL 30
House Wine
The evening brings together a standout lineup of Texas female winemakers for a more intimate, conversation-driven experience centered on great wine and the stories behind it.
We’ll begin with a candid discussion and open Q&A, offering guests a deeper look into what’s happening across Texas wine right now; from the vineyard to the cellar, and everything in between.
Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy a selection of light bites while tasting wines from each featured winemaker. With no formal pairings or structured seating, the experience is designed to feel relaxed and fluid—giving you the opportunity to move, explore, and engage directly with the women behind the wines.
Expect thoughtful conversation, exceptional wines, and a setting that feels more like a gathering than an event.
Space is limited—join us for an evening that brings you a little closer to Texas wine. 🍷

The Austin Wine Week
Passport
Your official excuse to drink Texas wine all over the city (like it’s your job).
This isn’t a passive wine experience. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure across Austin: one glass, one stop, one story at a time. The Austin Wine Week Passport is your guide to discovering Texas wine in the wild: at the bars, restaurants, and shops that are showing up big for the local wine scene. No buses. No rigid schedules. Just you, your people, and a city full of places pouring Texas.
The End Goal?
Yes, there may be prizes. But the real win is this:
Discovering how good Texas wine actually is
Supporting local businesses in a real, tangible way
Becoming part of something that’s just getting started

Make It Yours
This is your personal tasting journey. No one’s telling you where to go next, you decide. This isn’t about checking boxes. It’s about building your own Texas wine story. Maybe you spend an afternoon hopping East Austin wine bars, turn it into a date night series, rally your friends and make it a competitive sport, or casually discover your new favorite Texas producer along the way. There’s no “right” path, just a lot of really good pours.
