It’s time to Wine Walk, foodie friends. The popular 21st annual H-E-B Wine Walk is back and better than ever with a brand-new location at The Woodlands® Resort set for Saturday afternoon, October 4 from 4 – 7 p.m. This move reflects a renewed vision of bringing guests closer to nature while offering even more space to sip, stroll, and savor. This festive fall celebration is a magnificent occasion for wine lovers to enjoy cooler temperatures while sipping and strolling their way through the gorgeous grounds of The Woodlands® Resort all while supporting worthwhile charity organizations like New Danville, The Woodlands Arts Council, and Montgomery County Food Bank. Tickets are available online now.
While the setting may be new, the chance to sip and savor is as exceptional as ever.

With over 250 beverages to sample, it’s the ultimate tasting adventure—so bring your thirst!
Entertainment will be in full swing with not one, but two live music stages. The Corcoran Genesis Music Stage will showcase Shang & Byron, the high-energy 2-Man Band known for their crowd-pleasing dance hits and eclectic mix of music that keeps everyone moving.

Devoted wine enthusiasts can upgrade to the Cinnamon Shore VIP Experience inside Back Table Kitchen & Bar offering plush indoor lounging plus, premium wine selections, an additional hour of enjoyment, elevated food offerings and entertainment. And VIPs receive a VIP Swag Bag and the keepsake collectable “big” glass.
Rub elbows and mingle with tastemakers who have made their mark on the culinary and wine industry in remarkable ways. Nosh your way through the myriads of flavors from the generous restaurants who highlight signature dishes.
Super fans and co-founders of Wine & Food Week, Constance and Clifton McDerby, are thrilled to reveal this year’s new location for the beloved fall tradition. “It’s never easy to move after so many years in one place, but we’ve absolutely fallen in love with our new setting. Nature’s beauty makes the perfect backdrop for this special event, and we can’t wait to welcome back our loyal Wine Walkers,” they shared. As the McDerby’s like to say, “Raise a glass, meet a new friend, share a laugh, and take it all in.”
