Caffvino Vino Fest

Caffvino is hosting the Caffvino Vino Fest on Sunday, October 11, from 2 PM to 6 PM. It's a day-drinking wine party organized by the venue itself, and they've pitched it at wine newbies and connoisseurs alike, so you don't need to know your tannins from your terroir to fit in.

The main draw is the tasting: you can sample around 50 wines throughout the afternoon, and they're paired with food to keep you going. With that many bottles to work through, it's more of a slow burn than a quick stop—you've got four hours to wander through the selection and find what you actually like. Live music runs throughout the afternoon on the patio, so you can step away from the tasting table and hang out outside while the music plays.

It's a 21-and-over event, and parking is free, which is a nice perk for a Heights spot on a Sunday. Tickets are non-refundable, so make sure you've got your afternoon clear before you commit. If you're into wine and don't mind spending a few hours sipping through a long list, this is a straightforward way to do it. The Vino Fest runs from 2 PM to 6 PM on Sunday, October 11, at Caffvino, 1030 Heights Boulevard, Houston, TX 77008.
