Through educational events and programs we seek to enhance the quality of life, enriching both the minds and palates of our communities.

The Wine & Food Foundation of Texas was created in 1997 by the founders of the Texas Hill Country Wine & Food Festival, now internationally known and recognized. The Festival was originally organized 25 years ago to spotlight the Texas Hill Country, which is currently the second largest viticultural area (AVA) in the country, and provide consumers the opportunity to experience the Texas wine industry and its growing culinary scene. The Festival’s annual hallmark event was the Rare and Fine Wine Auction. Proceeds from the Auction benefited local charities.
