Presented by the City of Fredericksburg, The Grand Tasting is the heart of the festival — a lively, flavor-packed celebration featuring 75+ tastings from Texas wineries, top chefs, craft distilleries, and breweries.
Enjoy live culinary demos, Texas music, a curated artisan market, and immersive experiences around every corner. With a Tito’s welcome cocktail in hand, you’ll make your way to the Uncork Texas Wines Grand Tasting Pavilion, or maybe you’ll go explore bold flavors in the Surtierra Tequila Cantina, or relax with a glass of wine in the Grape Creek Vineyards VIP Lounge…whatever it may be, there’s something special for everyone!

+ Don’t miss exclusive wine + culinary lounge experiences by Halter Ranch, William Chris Vineyards, Heath Sparkling Wines and more!

Choose your experience: Local, General Admission, and VIP badge levels are available — and all include unlimited food and beverage tastings.
