This year AWMF has expanded the 3-day affair into a year round series of events to appeal to celebrate Texas wineries. Each loyal consumer is invited to experience the wineries in their own estate fruit setting while discovering the vintners who work diligently to cultivate the celebratory vintage known as The Austin Wine & Music Festival. This will be the first in a series of six “Mini Events” at the winery properties while the newly constructed event park is completed at The Domain. In 2013 AWMF will resume in regular fashion in the park alongside the grand opening of the new Whole Foods at The Domain.
