One of Biggest Food & Wine Festivals in America is Headed to Woodlands: Foodie Celeb Tapped as Wizard Gourmet
BY Jailyn Marcel // 05.31.17Some of the best wine and food anywhere is headed to The Woodlands for the 13th annual Wine & Food Week presented by H-E-B. The seven-day extravaganza kicks off next week, showcasing nearly 10 culinary events, 75 chefs, and hundreds of wineries — clocking in as the largest wine and food festival in a large swath of the country.
From New Orleans to Aspen, you won’t find a bigger one.

This includes everything from guys and girls-themed foodie fêtes to H-E-B’s annual Wine Walk at Market Street on Thursday evening, which features live music, cooking demonstrations, and of course, a bevy of food and wine.
Friday, June 9th brings the ever popular Ladies of the Vine Tasting, Panel, and Luncheon followed by Sips, Suds, and Tacos — a taco tasting event — later that evening.
Close out the festival at Platinum Wine Vault Ultra Premium Tasting event on Saturday, June 10th before heading to the fest’s grand finale: the highly anticipated Wine Rendezvous Grand Tasting & Chef Showcase, which features 60 talented chefs and more than 500 wines.
