Experience an unforgettable weekend of culinary excellence and giving back with the Austin Wine & Food Foundation. We’re changing things up this year!  Our famous wine auction will now take place immediately prior to the Gala for our most passionate wine collectors and enthusiasts!  More information about that event (now called the Austin Wine Auction) can be found here.

Immediately following the Austin Wine Auction, The Austin Wine & Food Foundation Gala features an exquisite four-course dinner with expert wine service from a team of Austin’s finest sommeliers. The event still includes a smaller, curated selection of 10-15 premium live auction lots, including luxury vacations, exceptional wines, exclusive dining experiences, and an exciting raffle with coveted prizes. And we are thrilled to have Eric Jensen, Booker Vineyard, as our 2025 Featured Winemaker.

As always, we will kick off the weekend on Friday, November 7th, at our Featured Winemaker Luncheon, held this year at FIXE Southern House. This exclusive, elegant luncheon takes place the day before the Auction & Gala at FIXE Southern House, and includes a multi-course lunch paired with wines provided by the Featured Winemaker.

Your participation in this beloved celebration of food and wine directly supports our philanthropic initiatives, including WFF programming, the battle against food insecurity in Austin, and our scholarship program for local hospitality professionals advancing their careers through education.
