From this effort, the following events were born:
2005 - Wine & Food Week - 10,000+ guests choose from a broad selection of event offerings designed for both the novice and the serious enthusiast of both culinary and wine. This multi-day, multi-faceted culinary and wine event in The Woodlands encompasses everything from seminars and wine dinners to tastings, chef competitions and more.
2008 - Zest in the West - a "zesty" experience featuring wine tasting with West Houston's finest restaurants in the prestigious Memorial and Westchase areas. Zest in the West attracts business professionals and residents alike.
