Here’s what’s happening now.

Southold Farm + Cellar Prologue Tasting Series

Join Southold Farm + Cellar for their “Prologue” tasting which is being featured throughout the month. The experience features a tasting 4 wines paired with a set of 4-5 composed dishes.

Think, a beautiful spread of plates made from locally sourced ingredients, and the “prologue” of what is being crafted for their Sunset Suppers, which I’ve previously covered. The experience is 60-90 minutes and held outdoors on their patio (weather permitting). Tickets are $60 per person.

Frosé All Day at Signor Vineyards to Benefit the Fire Department

Join Signor Vineyards as they let Frosé save the day. On Saturday, July 30 all Frosé proceeds will benefit the Stonewall Volunteer Fire Department.

And given this heat, isn’t that worth raising a glass to?

Messina Hof Harvest Festival

While it’s not until next month, you don’t want to wait until then. Messina Hof’s 45th Annual Harvest Festival at the winery in Bryan is on deck every weekend in August. Tickets are selling quick with some likely already sold out, but there is still availabilty for their Daytime Harvest Festivals, Moonlit Harvest Festivals, and Outdoor Gourmet BBQ for you to enjoy!

Texas Wine Collective Tasting Series

I’ve previously shared some of the unique tastings that the Texas Wine Collective puts on, including their ‘Taste of Tex’s Wines serious. This time around, they will put three of their Texas wines up against three Spanish wines. The wines will be paired with Spanish bites. There are two different sessions to take advantage of – one at 12:30pm and one at 2:30pm. Advance tickets required and are $55.

Next month its all about harvest, so be sure to keep an eye out for harvest festivals and events all over the place. It’s always a great time.
