GrapeFest- A Wine Experience, will celebrate its 25th anniversary and the best of Texas wines on September 15, 16, 17 and 18. Festival goers will enjoy award-winning wines perfectly paired with culinary treats at the largest wine festival in the Southwest.
This year, a special focus on Australian wines and culture livens up the action, while the festival’s trademark activities continue: People’s Choice Wine Tasting Classic – the largest consumer-judged wine competition in the nation, Culinary Pavilion, GrapeFest Golf Classic, GrapeStomp and six stages of live entertainment.
A few of the featured chefs and food demonstrations that should not be missed include Brian Olenjack of Olenjack’s Grille appearing 6:30pm Friday, Paula Lambert with Mozzarella Company Saturday morning at 11:00am, John Franke of the Ranch at 2:00pm Saturday, and Hollie Dorethy at 5pm Satuday.
Hollie Dorethy is a popular TV Personality and private chef whose theme will be The Out Back Out West. Popular Australian classics with a Texas Tease. We understand she wrangled a case of the elusive Australian Finger Limes for this event. Remember her from Master Chef.
