Great Sounds and Great Sips at Wine Jam

Come experience one of the Hill Country’s most anticipated wine and music events  — the 6th Annual Texas Wine Jam on October 17, 2026 in Johnson City. 

This unique one-day wine-buying festival brings together many of our favorite Texas winemakers, along with the best of Texas live music, local food, and small-town charm. Texas Wine Jam is the premier wine-buying event in the Texas Hill Country, where you can taste local wines and end up with a full collection to take home. 

Throughout the day, you can:

– Sample wine from Texas winemakers

– Participate in educational “Spotlight Sessions” where Texas winegrowers will share their expertise

– Take home even more wine; for every six bottles purchased you’ll have an opportunity to win a seventh in the Jam Ring Toss. 

Produced by Vinovium, this unique event showcases standout wineries from across the Texas Hill Country, all in one walkable, scenic downtown setting (Memorial Park in Johnson City). You can also add enriching experiences like TX Bubbles and Brunch with an elevated brunch buffer from Pecan Street Brewing and a producer panel/guided tasting of Texas sparkling wines.
