The Grand Wine & Food Affair is one of the largest celebrations of epicurean delights in Texas, and The Grand Tasting is its signature event.

On April 23, the ballroom at the Sugar Land Marriott Town Square will be ground zero for  foodies and big-name chefs. This year's special guests are The Food Network's Robin Miller and Laurent Tourondel, the chef behind the BLT empire. The foodie celebs will show off their wares alongside some sought-after wines. 

The Grand Auction, a silent auction featuring collectable wines, weekend getaways, vacations, winery tours, art, and exclusive dining experiences, will also raise money for the Grand Wine & Food Affair Scholarship Endowment at the University of Houston's Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management.

Other notable GF&WA events include a wine dinner at Valentino Vinbar on April 21, a wine dinner with Beaulieu Vineyards at Mockingbird Bistro on April 22, A tour of local organic markets and Saint Arnold's Brewery with My Table magazine on April 24, a tented Sip & Stroll afternoon at Sienna Plantation and Sienna Springs Resort on April 24, and a Bistro Brunch on April 25 in Sugar Land Town Square.
