Houston Wine Fest, Houston

Each year, the Houston Wine Fest gathers international wineries and local oenophiles together in Hermann Square Park to clink glasses and sip on tasty batches produced by master winemakers. The 2013 event features more than 150 different wines from 30 different wineries, and performances from bands such as The Portland Cello Project and Soul Track Mind, with headliners Elle King and Morris Day and the Time. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, the festival will donate 5% of ticket sales to The Rose Foundation and Sisters Network Inc.—two organizations that work to help women overcome the disease.
