Fredericksburg Food & Wine Fest
Some 29 wineries will offer more than 100 types of wine during the 22nd annual Food and Wine Fest set for October 27, 2012, on the Marktplatz in downtown Fredericksburg, Texas (map).
Hours are noon til 7 p.m. General admission is $20 for adults, $5 for those under 21, and free for children under 12. The $20 admission includes one souvenir fest glass plus six sampling tickets.
There will be Texas specialty booths, Texas wineries, an auction, entertainment, food court and the Gargantuan Great Grape Toss and the Great Grape Fun. (When your sampling tickets are gone you can buy more at the ticket booth.)
New this year is the Vintner’s Experience: guests will have an opportunity to chat with the featured winemakers. The Grape Expectations Cooking School will showcase Texas chefs.
