Your Christmas Wine Affair ticket, valid November 29th – December 15th , includes a full complimentary tasting (as determined by winery) at all 48 participating wineries with a limit of 4 wineries a day and a 15% discount on 3 bottle purchases at each winery. All of these benefits for a ticket price of $65/couple or $45/individual. The average tasting fee at the 48 participating wineries is $14/person…adding up to $56/person if visiting 4 wineries a day. And that’s just for ONE day! You have 17 days to visit 48 wineries. Your Christmas Wine Affair ticket is already saving you money, not including the discounts on wine purchases! The limit to 4 winery tastings a day with your ticket is a way for THCW to promote responsible drinking during the events. We do hope you can take your time and enjoy each winery more this way, instead of rushing through tastings and getting to the next stop. This allows for a more intimate experience at each winery, enjoying the wines and the people.

Each ticket will include a Christmas Wine Affair Passport to be picked up at your first winery (selected at time of ticket purchase). Each participating winery that you visit will stamp your passport on the day you visit the winery and taste. Each day you can taste and get stamped at four participating wineries total. Couples tickets will receive 1 booklet but both will get the tastings. You have 17 days to enjoy 48 wineries in the beautiful Texas Wine Country, tasting your favorite wines and getting exclusive discounts! This is too good of a deal to pass up, so make sure to get tickets for your entire family and all of your friends!

Your Christmas Wine Affair Ticket Includes:

Full complimentary tasting at each participating winery with a limit of 4 wineries a day (one tasting for singles, two tastings for couples – couples are ANY two people but both must be present together for tastings)
A Tasting Passport Book that will be stamped at each participating winery that you visit (you will NEED TO START at the winery you select when you purchase tickets to pickup your Tasting Passport Book for tastings)
15% discount on 3-bottle purchases from each participating winery (winery choice and/or discount may exclude reserves, ports and wines already discounted)

The Christmas Wine Affair is the perfect way to ring in the holiday season! So join us for just one or all 17 days to experience an unforgettable getaway in Texas Wine Country. There are a limited number of tickets available and each year is sold out weeks before the event. Don’t delay and miss out on all the holiday cheer that the Texas Wine Country has to offer December!

Are there a limited number of tickets?

Yes and they typically sell out by the first weekend of the Trail. We do not hold back any tickets.

Do I have to start at the winery I chose?

Yes, you do have to go there first and get your book. You do not have to taste there first but you must get your book first.

Can I change my pickup winery?

No, wineries receive the exact amount of Trail Passports as designated by ticket purchaser choice and we cannot change them once delivered. Please be aware of individual winery business hours and days they are open when choosing your pickup winery.

What is the difference between Couples and Individuals tickets?

Couples tickets are good for ANY TWO people (husband/wife, sisters, mother/daughter, friends, etc). You will receive ONE passport book and TWO tastings. Both people must be present together for the couples tastings (ie: one can not receive tastings on the first day of the event and the other person on another day of the event at the same winery).

Individual tickets are for ONE person, you will receive ONE passport and ONE tasting at each participating winery.

I can’t use my ticket, can I get a refund?

No, but tickets are transferable so you can give it away or sell it.

What days is my ticket good for?

All 31 days of the Trail. October 1st – 31st, 2019.

What wineries are included?

48 of our member wineries. You can find a list of them on the WINERIES page or the MAP page of our website.

I am giving this as a gift, can you change the name on the ticket?

The tickets are transferrable so it does not matter that your name is on it. When gifting though, you can choose “Ship To” and put the receivers name in the shipping info and this will put their name on the ticket. (No, tickets are not shipped)

Tickets

A confirmation email will be sent to you once your purchase transaction is successful. The confirmation email is your ticket. You can print this at anytime to present to the winery to pickup your book. Or you can show the winery your confirmation email from your smart phone.

What time does the trail start?

The trail starts when individual wineries are open (usually 10-11am) and ends at closing of the wineries (5-6pm). Please check out individual winery hours on the WINERIES page of our site.

Where does the trail start?

It starts wherever you would like but you must pickup your Tasting Passport first. Please use the MAP to plan out your trip.

What about transportation?

This is a self-guided trail so you will use your own transportation or book with a Tour Company. Please use a Designate Driver.

Are wine glasses included with ticket or at each winery?

No glasses are included. Each winery will have wine glasses for you to use while tasting but are not included to take home. Wine glasses are for sale at each winery if you would like to purchase separately.
