Description of Event:
The Gruene Music and Wine Fest began in 1987 with the purpose of promoting Texas and Americana music in a fun and relaxed setting while raising funds for the United Way of Comal County. Over the years, it has become a four day celebration not only of Texas and Americana music, but also a celebration of Texas, German and New World wines, specialty beer and handcrafted items. The event continues to grow each year. In recent years, we have been able to expand the 'Texas Tastings and Tunes' event on Saturday to include over 40 wine and food producers for tastings, and added a second stage, Specialty Beer Tasting Event and ""Cowboy Lounge"" with the big game on big screen TV's to further enhance the 'Texas-Style Musicfest' event on Sunday. Additionally, a Craft Market has been added to the 'Texas Tastings and Tunes' on Saturday as well as the ""Texas-Style Musicfest"" on Sunday, and just last year, we added a ""Not From Texas"" kickoff event on Thursday which features German and New World wines, live music and ""Not From Texas"" door prizes! Although the event itself has evolved through the years, our benefiting charity has always included and primarily been the United Way of Comal County. In 1987, a mere $450 was raised for the United Way of Comal County, but as the event has grown, so too have the funds given. We now raise over 200 times that amount and have been able to double our funds raised just in the past five years. 2010 marked a record-breaking sum of nearly $105,871.60, making us proud to be considered one of the highlighted events for the annual United Way campaign in our area. This year, we hope to exceed the success of 2010, and we hope you will be a part of it!Information:
