Premier Events
In addition to our rotating program of tastings and classes, AWFF proudly hosts three spectacular flagship events every year. Our longest-running event is the prestigious Austin Wine Auction & Gala Weekend, a two-day celebration combining culinary excellence with philanthropic giving. We also host Big Reds & Bubbles in the Spring, a festive sip-and-stroll cocktail party featuring top-rated red and sparkling wines along with savory bites from some of Austin's finest restaurants. Toast of Texas is our casual summer wine festival, where guests enjoy the best Texas wines paired with mouthwatering Texas BBQ and paella.
Meet the Winemaker
Join us for our exclusive Meet the Winemaker series, where passionate vintners and brand ambassadors from across the globe share the intimate stories behind their craft. In a mix and mingle setting, discover the rich histories of renowned wineries, learn about time-honored techniques passed down through generations, and gain insider insights into what makes each wine truly special.
Guests will enjoy the rare opportunity to connect personally with these master vintners in an intimate setting — and of course, savor exceptional wines you won't find just anywhere. It's more than a tasting; it's your chance to step into the world of winemaking and taste the passion in every pour.
