FEATURED EVENT
Experience an unforgettable weekend of culinary excellence. 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!
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, and includes a multi-course lunch paired with wines provided by the Featured Winemaker.
IMBIBE means to consume or absorb – and that’s exactly what you’ll do in our classes… consume and absorb wine, food, and knowledge.
We host 2-3 IMBIBE classes each month – usually on Wednesdays or Thursdays. Now that we are seeing the light at the end of the Pandemic tunnel, we are offering a mix of virtual and in-person classes. These classes are a great way to learn, and engage with other like-minded members of our community. We have a variety of highly knowledgeable professionals who impart great information, and usually a few good laughs, too!
The Wine & Spirit Education Trust provides globally recognized education and qualifications in wines, spirits, and sake, for professionals and enthusiasts. Texas Wine School offers these certifications in Austin in person at the Wine & Food Foundation’s Central Austin tasting room.
