Thank you for joining us for the 2020 Christmas Wine Affair.
The 2021 Christmas Wine Affair dates are set for November 29 – December 24, tickets will be available in October 2021.
This is the time of year we’ve all been waiting for…a chill in the air, the hustle and bustle, baking, wrapping, fireplaces and the Christmas Wine Affair in the Hill Country! Savor all that Texas Wine Country has to offer this holiday season from December 4th – December 20th, sipping and sampling award winning wines at 45 unique Hill Country Wineries. Join us for one day of the event or all seventeen! 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!
Your Christmas Wine Affair ticket, valid December 4th – 20th, includes a full complimentary tasting (as determined by winery) at all 45 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 45 participating wineries is $25/person, making the total value of your passport over $750! You’ll cover the cost of your passport, couple or individual, by just visiting and tasting at 4 wineries on the first day. Your Christmas Wine Affair ticket is already saving you money, not including 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 order will include a custom barcode that serves as your Digital Christmas Wine Affair Passport ticket. This barcode will be emailed to you upon completing your purchase and will be scanned at each participating winery you visit. Each day you can taste and get scanned at four participating wineries total, visiting each winery once during the event. You have 17 days to enjoy 45 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!
Please Note // Your Christmas Wine Affair Ticket is Non-Refundable. If you are unable to use your Christmas Wine Affair Passport you may give it away or sell it. In the unlikely event that the Christmas Wine Affair is cancelled, you can request to receive a voucher to use towards any future Texas Hill Country Wineries Passport Event in 2020 or 2021. Vouchers will only be offered if the event is cancelled.
Please be aware of participating wineries business hours and restrictions when planning your winery visits.
