About the Festival

It is with great passion and pride that Clifton & Constance McDerby brought consumer culinary and wine events for the residents of the Greater Houston Area. Launched in 2002, the McDerby's goal was share their love for food and wine and all the many benefits it brings to personal relationships, business relations - both established and new and at the same time break down the mystique and pretentiousness of wine and Food and Vine Time Productions was born.

The first event was the Galveston Food & Vine Times which drew 300 guests. The attendance tripled the second year and again in the third year. Then the focus moved to The Woodlands with the perfect infrastructure to handle a multi-day, multi-faceted culinary and wine event. The industry support emerged seemingly overnight and Wine & Food Week was launched 2005 and was enjoyed by over 4,000 participants.

Today Wine & Food Week welcomes 10,000+ guests who choose from a broad selection of offerings designed for both the novice and serious enthusiast for both culinary and wine. None of this could have happened without the dedicated and tireless efforts of the volunteers who give of their time and energies to create a seamless and fun event for the guests.

No one under 21 will be admitted (including infants/young children) to all BrewLicious and BrewHaha Events. All IDs will be checked at the door.
