Texas Wine Month Almost Here

September 23, 2024 – October is officially Texas Wine Month, a celebration of the state’s thriving wine culture, abundant vineyards, and winemaking heritage. With more than 470 wineries across several AVAs—Texas Hill Country, High Plains, Texoma, and others—Texas ranks among the top wine-producing states in the U.S.

Events during Texas Wine Month help residents and visitors alike explore these wineries through tastings, wine trails, and special offers. One of the signature events is the Texas Wine Month Passport in Hill Country, where the Passport gives access to complimentary tastings, discounts, and the opportunity to explore over 45 exceptional wineries throughout October.

In Sulphur Springs, the Wine Month festivities include a highlight event called Uncorked: Wine, Music & Art Festival (uncorkedsstx.org). Held in downtown’s Celebration Plaza, Uncorked brings together wine lovers for an afternoon of live music, local art, food vendors, and Texas wines. It’s a local favorite for blending culture and wine in a festive atmosphere.

Also during Texas Wine Month, many Texas wine organizations participate in the “Come Over October” campaign, inviting people throughout the state to raise a glass of Texas wine and celebrate the community and craftsmanship behind it.

Whether you’re in Sulphur Springs taking in Uncorked, cruising the Hill Country Passport trail, or just enjoying wine at home or with friends, Texas Wine Month offers something for both casual wine fans and seasoned connoisseurs alike.
