Sample wines from Becker Vineyards, known for it's award-winning wines, lavender fields and on-site bed and breakfast. Fall Creek Vineyards will show you why it's the only Texas winery to receive a Best Buy in Wine Spectator. Messina Hof is located in the middle of Texas, but it sits at the crossroads of generations of German and Sicilian winemaking tradition. Make sure to ask about the Vintage House Restaurant & The Villa Bed and Breakfast, both located on the grounds of Messina Hof.

Hungry? Verde's Mexican Parrilla will tempt you with made-from-scratch Mexican cuisine, sangria, margaritas and Mexican Martinis. Creek Road Cafe brings an eclectic mix of spices and sauces to steaks and seafood, and they'll be bringing the best of their offerings to share with you. Thai Gourmet will add an Asian flair to the festivities, and you can service your sweet tooth with pastries and desserts from the Thyme & Dough bakery.

Of course, there will be lots to do besides play with your palate. Live music will fill the air as you stroll around the Creekside Pavillion, enjoying peaceful waterfalls and magnificent views. For those in the shopping mood, there will be plenty to see from the Artists of Dripping Springs. Prints and canvases will be on display from Wesley Prints, and Captain Arg will be showcasing art glass and collectibles.

So as the scorching summer begins to fade, take an afternoon to enjoy all the remarkable gifts our area has to offer at the "Dripping with Taste" Wine & Food Festival. We'll see you there!
