Throughout the world people celebrate around wine and food. Corks are popped, toasts are made and friends are gathered to share a meal or special beverage. There is almost nothing as exciting as that first taste, when a wine paired with a particular dish explodes with surprising new flavor, or a classic dish sings when fused with new ingredients. Aren’t you just inspired to turn to the person next to you and say, “TRY THIS!”

Tasting can be wild, fun and adventurous. It is best when shared. It sometimes requires bravery and definitely a willingness to step outside your comfort zone. When you do, risk is often rewarded with new perspective. Tasting can surprise and delight us, expanding our minds as well as our palates. What better way to explore than with Texas’ best chefs and hundreds of fine wines and Champagnes all in one place? Hip and fabulous venues, celebrity chefs and innovative pairings await you at Wine & Food Foundation events.

The Foundation hosts several highly-acclaimed, community-wide wine and food tastings each year. Wine and food events are an important facet of the Foundation’s mission because they provide a fun, interactive format for learning about wine and food, and they present the opportunity to personally chat with chefs, winemakers and sommeliers. Foundation events bring the wine and food community together while raising funds for scholarships and grants. Guests receive a keepsake tasting book at each Foundation event that describes the wines and dishes, chef information as well as providing room to record personal and unique experiences.

So we invite you to join us. Eat, drink, pair, celebrate…but most of all, be fearless.
