Dripping with Taste returns late summer

Save the date! The 11th-Annual Dripping with Taste Wine & Food Festival will be held on Saturday September 8, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., at the Dripping Springs Ranch Park & Event Center, 1042 Event Center Drive.

Come out and sample the largest assortment of Texas wines, craft beers, gourmet foods and spirits available under one roof. Sponsored by the Dripping Springs Area Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau, the festival was created to showcase the growing number of local vineyards, breweries, distilleries and gourmet food fares peppering the area. That number continues to grow and so does the festival. This year’s festival includes over 75 “tasteful” vendors and an estimated 2,500 food and wine enthusiasts.

The event has also been expanded to include distilleries. As of last year, rum, vodka, gin and even a little whiskey have joined the party, many of which are made right here in the area. But, the fun doesn’t stop at the tasting. The festival also includes cooking demonstrations, drink mixology classes, live music, and specialty vendors.
