Wine & Roses Festival 2022

Located at the Messina Hof Estate in Bryan, Texas, the Messina Hof Wine and Roses Festival will celebrate the 38th anniversary of the budding of the vines and the blooming of the roses. Guests will gather to enjoy wine tasting, live music, local vendors and artisans, wine & food experiences, our famous grape stomp competition, and more! A portion of the proceeds from Wine & Roses benefits the Arts Council of the Brazos Valley. 

  The 32nd Annual Messina Hof Texas Artist Wine Label Competition is the centerpiece for the 38th Annual Wine & Roses Festival on Saturday, April 23. Texas-based artists were encouraged to submit pieces inspired by the theme of “Exploration.” The top 10 artist competition finalists will be on display throughout the weekend, and guests will be able to vote on their favorite to determine the winning artwork that will be featured on a future Messina Hof wine label.
