On Saturday, May 16th, 2026, the Texas Hill Country arrived in Austin - for one day only!

The Hill Country, Poured in the City.

Fifteen exceptional wineries gathered under one roof at Guad Haus, each pouring a curated selection that reflects the nuance, depth, and rising sophistication of Texas wine. From expressive reds to elegant whites and unexpected varietals, this was Texas terroir - thoughtfully presented in a setting designed for discovery.

A New Way to Experience Texas Wine

This was not a crowded festival.
There were no long lines. No rushed pours.

Instead, guests moved through the Haus at their own pace - glass in hand - engaging directly with the winemakers behind each bottle. Asking questions. Comparing vintages. Discovering new favorites. Purchasing directly from the vintners and taking the experience home.

It was relaxed.
It was curated. 
It was intentionally designed for conversation and connection.
