Get ready to indulge your senses this October at the 2024 Fredericksburg Food & Wine Festival, a premier event that promises to be an unforgettable celebration of Texas’ rich culinary and winemaking traditions. Hosted by the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce, this eagerly-awaited festival will feature an impressive lineup of over 75 local food and beverage purveyors, bringing together the best of the state’s flavors and hospitality.
Set in the historic Marktplatz, the festival will showcase a vibrant mix of over 45 wineries, breweries, and distilleries, alongside nearly 30 of Texas’ top culinary talents. Attendees will have the chance to experience one of the state’s most anticipated food and beverage events, complete with hands-on culinary and beverage demonstrations led by award-winning chefs and mixologists.
Festival Producer Hayley Wakefield promises this year’s event will be the most immersive yet, with an array of innovative experiences designed to delight every palate. “This year’s festival is slated to be our most immersive and engaging to date, with an array of innovative and tantalizing experiences to amuse the palate,” says Wakefield.
The festival offers a diverse lineup of attractions, each celebrating the unique culture of Texas Hill Country:
In addition to these exclusive experiences, the Texas Wine Auction’s Grand Tasting Pavilion will raise funds for local causes, while the Uncork Texas Wine Beverage Demo Stage and Culinary Demo Stage will feature interactive sessions with top industry experts. You’ll also find the Distillery District, Beer Garden, and El Quincho Asador Argentino—a wood-fired outdoor kitchen brought to life by the team behind Revel Kitchen + Catering.
One of the standout experiences this year is Burgers, Bourbon & Barbecue, an elevated Texas ranch-style lounge that brings together the culinary talents behind Fredericksburg Cast Iron, Garrison Brothers Bourbon, Hill & Vine, and Eaker Barbeque. Complete with live music and an Allen’s Boots pop-up, this lounge promises to offer a taste of authentic Texas with a twist.
“We must attribute a great many thanks to our sponsors Augusta Vin Winery, Halter Ranch, Heath Sparkling Wines, Signor Vineyards, and Garrison Brother Distillery for allowing the festival to grow and continue to champion Texas’ amazing beverage and gastronomic culture,” adds Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Jim Mikula. “They have ensured that this event will be one for the books.”
