Historic Montgomery Wine and Food Trail, 'A
Toast To Texas' is proud to present our Third Annual Event!
Saturday, Sept.27th from 10am to 7pm
Sixteen Texas wineries will bring their products for the public to sample. Wineries
such as Bernhardt Winery, Bell Mountain Vineyards, Chisholm Trail Winery, Circle S Vineyards, Fall Creek Vineyards, Flat Creek Estate, Messina Hof Winery and Resort, Pleasant Hill Winery, Wichita Falls Vineyards & Winery, Wimberley Valley Winery-Spring.
Many of them have
been at all our festivals. Thanks to all our wineries and we hope you will plan
to return with lots of bottles!
Our grounds encompass the greater part
of our quaint town, so don't worry that it will feel cramped, even though there
will be quite the crowd, if this year is like the previous ones.
Greater details of the 2008 Food and Wine Trail will be posted here shortly, so
please revisit often!
There
are demonstrations throughout the day such as wine pairing and cooking with
spirits by outstanding local chefs. A highlight of this years event may be Andy Commacho with Ice Occasions and his spectacular ice carvings performed to the delight of young and young-at-heart alike!
There will be a myriad of Texas artisans demonstrating and selling their wares, as
well as the official "Go Texan" specialty foods and items, in addition to the
food offered by local restaurants.
Children
will have loads of fun in the supervised children's area with a variety of inflatables, a petting zoo,
donkey rides and hair and face painting.
Live music
is performed throughout the day on our main stage.
