2007 Wine Seminars
                

 

One of our goals during the Wine & Music Festival is to give the audience the chance to return home with a greater understanding and appreciation for Texas wines and the Texas Wine industry.  Attending our popular wine seminars are a wonderful way to accomplish just that.  Every year we have two afternoon seminars, each with a different theme designed to display the versatility and variety of Texas wines.  The seminars are hosted by Texas Wine expert John Bratcher and are paneled by Texas' top winemakers.  Both seminars are held at the newly renovated Threadgill Theater in the Quiet Valley Ranch campgrounds.
