About the Wine Committee

The Wine Committee supports our mission throughout the year by hosting an international wine competition with over 1,000 entries judged over three days by a highly experienced panel that selects the award-winning wines. A Champion Wine Auction & Dinner is held in November as well as Uncork & Unwind Wine events in the community. During the annual San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, the committee hosts the H-E-B sponsored Wine Garden, which includes wines by the taste and glass and bottle plus weekend educational seminars and wine demos throughout the 18 days.
Help show your support for the youth of Texas by joining us at any of our wine events!
