Wein and Saengerfest in New Braunfels

Drink a toast to the Texas Hill Country during a wine and beer-tasting at Wein & Saengerfest, a day to savor all that the city of New Braunfels has to offer.

Contests:

• Let your inner Lucy Ricardo come out to play as your feet turn purple in the Grape Stomp, where you can make your mark on an “I got Stomped at Wein & Saegerfest” souvenir T-shirt.

• Local eateries vie for the best vino-inspired dishes in the Chef’s Showdown. If you find yourself inspired by the culinary creations, check out the food seminar and the farmer’s market.

Music: If daytime performances of polka and zydeco tunes get your toes tapping, then move your feet to the beat of live music during the evening street dance.

Shopping: From clothing to crafts, more than 40 vendor booths will be brimming with merchandise and an art market will offer an array of wonders for your walls.
