FAQs

Everything you need to know before your tasting experience 

  • The Texas Wine Experience is designed as a guided, self-paced tasting event. During your selected 90-minute window, you’ll move through Guad Haus at your own pace, sampling wines and engaging directly with the winemakers behind each bottle.

    Unlike a traditional festival, this experience is intentionally paced to allow for meaningful conversations, discovery, and a more relaxed environment.

  • Each ticket includes access to all participating Texas wineries during your selected 90-minute time window, along with sample tastings at each station. 

    Guests will also have the opportunity to meet winemakers and winery teams, learn more about each bottle, and purchase wine on-site. 

  • To maintain a comfortable and enjoyable flow throughout the space, the event is divided into four staggered 90-minute tasting windows: 

    • 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM 

    • 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM 

    • 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM 

    • 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM 

    This structure ensures that the environment remains relaxed, not overcrowded, and allows each guest the opportunity to fully experience the wines and interact with participating wineries. 

    You’ll select your preferred time window when purchasing your ticket.
