Each year over Labor Day Weekend wine lovers and music enthusiasts gather at the Quiet Valley Ranch (9 miles south of Kerrville on TX Hwy 16) to celebrate the art of songwriting and winemaking. This Texas Hill Country setting is perfect for introducing our audiences to the newest and best wines that Texas has to offer in addition to performances by dozens of the world?s best songwriters.

The Kerrville Wine & Music Festival features three, 6-hour evening concerts and two, 2-hour afternoon concerts by two dozen singer-songwriters. During the evening concerts only, we have booths set up for Texas' top winemakers who offer tastes, glasses, or bottles of their current vintage wines. Craft Vendors, Food and Wine Booths are located in the Kennedy Outdoor Theater and will be open each festival day at 6 p..m., with the music starting at 7. Please be advised that this event isn’t your typical “wine tasting” party. Wine will only be available in the Kennedy Outdoor Theater during the evening concerts. Wine will not be available during the day or in the campgrounds unless you choose to participate in one of the Saturday or Sunday afternoon Wine Seminars

Beer, wine, smoothies, soft drinks and gourmet coffee drinks are also available.
