Austinites, it’s not too late to road trip to San Antonio for their delightful food & wine festival, Culinaria. A Weekend Pass nets you entry to tonight’s snazzy kick off event Back to Bubbles, as well as to Tacos and Talk (Saturday), the re-imagined Grand Tasting (Saturday evening), and the casual, family-friendly Burgers, BBQ and Beer (Sunday). Tacos and Talk features day long programming centered around libations and food, with topics ranging from Texas tempranillos to a crash course in the language of sommeliers, creating elegant cocktails with coffee, and more. I love the idea of a caffeine high mellowed by smooth, rich liquor. Expect the T&T demo by Chef Rowan to be well-attended, as this 9 year old sensation displays his skills and passion for cooking, in advance of his June trip to Seattle for a bone marrow transplant.
Tickets are still available for this delicious weekend road trip, and Culinaria alllows you to purchase tickets for these events separately, to better fit your budget and weekend time constraints, or as a Weekend Pass. One item of note is that Culinaria not only showcases the talent of local chefs, but is a huge advocate of Texas wine. Our wine industry is undergoing phenomenal growth, and gaining recognition world-wide. Time to check it out, yes? Road trip to Culinaria!
