The H-E-B Wine Walk is back for its second year at The Woodlands Resort on Saturday, Oct. 24, with more than 300 beverages and 40 culinary offerings from local restaurants and chefs.
Tickets start at $79 for general admission. VIP Premium Lounge access is $135. Both are all-inclusive, and attendance is limited.
Last year's event sold out completely.
The evening runs from 6 to 9 p.m. and benefits three area nonprofits: New Danville, which serves adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities; The Woodlands Arts Council; and Montgomery County Food Bank.
Constance McDerby, founder of Wine & Food Week and its production company Food & Vine Time Productions, said in the Aug. 25 announcement that the resort's open spaces give guests room to wander and discover at their own pace, fitting the 2026 "Going Places" theme.
Food & Vine Time Productions, which has produced Wine & Food Week since 2002, celebrated 25 years this season and has raised more than $2 million for local charities over that span, according to Woodlands Online.
Features include two live music stages with performers Shang & Byron, an H-E-B Culinary Cantina, a Bayway Cadillac Fun Zone, a Ben E. Keith Beer Garden, a Stella Rosa Airstream Bar, dessert and bubbles zones, pasta cooking demonstrations and more than 150 displays.
VIP ticket holders get access to the resort's ballroom with premium wine selections, an extra hour of tasting time, elevated food, a swag bag and a collectible oversized glass. H-E-B is the presenting sponsor, and Bayway Cadillac of The Woodlands is the official automotive partner. Sponsorship and restaurant participation spots remain available.
The Woodlands Resort is also offering a "Vino & Views" staycation package for attendees that includes overnight accommodations, daily breakfast, valet parking and a wine and charcuterie welcome amenity.
Tickets are available at wineandfoodweek.com. Volunteer opportunities are also open.
