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.
