The 22nd annual H-E-B Wine Walk takes over The Woodlands Resort on Saturday, Oct. 24, with more than 300 beverages, 40-plus food stations and live music on two stages.
The all-inclusive outdoor event runs from 6 to 9 p.m. at 2301 N. Millbend Drive. Proceeds benefit three local organizations: New Danville, The Woodlands Arts Council and Montgomery County Food Bank.
General admission tickets cost $79 and include all food and beverage tastings. VIP tickets, priced at $135, are sold out, according to the Wine & Food Week website. Private VIP tables for four guests are still listed at $700, and tables for 10 at $3,750. Both table packages include early entry at 5 p.m., premium wines, a swag bag and a larger keepsake glass.
Constance McDerby, founder of Wine & Food Week, and her co-founder and partner Clifton McDerby moved the event to The Woodlands Resort for this year's edition. In an August announcement reported by Hello Woodlands, McDerby said the resort's open spaces and natural setting offer guests a new way to experience the walk.
"The natural beauty, open spaces and relaxed resort atmosphere create an entirely new way to experience Wine Walk," she said at the time.
McDerby added that the sense of exploration at the new venue fits the 2026 "Going Places" theme.
The event features 150-plus displays spread across the resort grounds. Shang & Byron, a two-person band, will perform on the main party stage. Zones include an H-E-B Culinary Cantina with the grocer's hand-selected wines, a Ben E. Keith Beer Garden, a Stella Rosa Airstream Bar, a dessert zone and pasta cooking demonstrations.
Food & Vine Time Productions, the company behind Wine & Food Week, has raised more than $2 million for local charities since launching in 2002, according to Woodlands Online.
Attendees must be 21 or older. The event is rain or shine with no refunds. Tickets are available at wineandfoodweek.com.
