Preview of some April 2023 Texas Wine Festivals

Hopefully this past week gave us the last cold snap of the season and we can all roll into a beautiful spring. The bluebonnets are on parade along Highway 290 from Johnson City to Fredericksburg, and the area has been abuzz with Spring Break travelers.

I’m seeing posts all over social media for fun wine events and festivals this spring. TXWineLover.com has a handy list of wine festivals you can always find under the dropdown menu for Fun Stuff.

Don’t worry. We’re here to make sure you stay informed. So, here’s a quick summary of just a few of the wine events coming in April.
