Harvest Festival 2023
Each year, we are excited to celebrate the Messina Hof Annual Harvest Festival! This is our favorite opportunity to connect with our friends, family, and Texas wine lovers, so we invite you to have a hand in our history every weekend in August. Harvest Festival is a fun-filled time for the entire family as we honor the harvest tradition of picking and stomping the very grapes that go into making Messina Hof’s award-winning Ports. We offer a range of daytime and evening events, complete with their own unique attractions.
Moonlit Harvests
Immerse yourself in moonlight and wine as you pick and stomp the grapes that go into our award-winning Ports at our Estate vineyard.
You will receive a souvenir “Harvest Crew” t-shirt signed with your own purple footprints!
Enjoy our delicious Vineyard Cuisine buffet and great selections from our wine bar as you socialize and dine over the vineyard.

Bring your friends and family to our Estate vineyard for a fun-filled day of picking and stomping the grapes that go into creating Messina Hof’s well known award-winning Ports. You will receive a souvenir “Harvest Crew” t-shirt signed with your very own purple footprints.
Take the opportunity to upgrade your Harvest experience with a build-your-own-brunch-box at our brunch buffet and mimosa bar by purchasing the Harvest Plus Pass!
