Austin wine lovers will have another reason to raise a glass this September when Grapes for Good 2026 returns for an evening of wine, food and fundraising.
Hosted by ATX Somms in partnership with Good Work Austin, the event takes place Sunday, September 13, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Wanderlust Shady Lane.
More than 20 local sommeliers and wine professionals will be pouring throughout the evening, alongside bites from several Austin restaurants and culinary favorites, including Hillside Farmacy, The Guest House, Lenoir, Siti, Thai Fresh, Casa Fina, Ezov and Antonelli’s Cheese.
The night will also feature a wine ring toss, silent auction and a live vinyl DJ.
For guests looking to go a little deeper into the cellar, VIP tickets include access to a private wine bar featuring rare and back vintage bottles, along with selections contributed by local wine collectors.
Proceeds from the event benefit Good Work Austin, the nonprofit organization supporting Austin’s hospitality workforce through training, advocacy, healthcare access and other industry programs. The Wine and Food Foundation will also match donations made in connection with the event up to $2,500.
Early general admission tickets are $75 and increase to $100 on the day of the event. VIP tickets are $200 in advance and $225 at the door.
For those who want to support the cause without attending, direct donations can also be made through Good Work Austin’s GiveButter campaign.
