The Hill Country Wine Symposium was established in 2015 by Texas Hill Country Wineries.  Symposium includes THREE days of seminars, lectures and panel discussions with over 20 sessions in 4 dedicated tracks: Vineyard, Winery, Business & New Vineyard/Winery.  Past speakers have included Tammy Boatright-VingDirect, Al Wagner-Clos du Val, Clark Smith-WineSmith, Don Brady-Robert Hall Winery, Gary Finnan-GFC|Evoke, Doug Beckett-Peachy Canyon Winery, Christophe Hedges-Hedges Family Estate, Dr Andrew Landers-Cornell University, Sandra Hess-DTC Wine Workshops, Dr Gregory Jones-Linfield College, Michael Wangbickler-Balzac Communications and many more.

The Symposium also includes an intimate trade show for the opportunity to connect with your current Texas clients while meeting new potential accounts.  With a small ratio of exhibitors to attendees, there is ample time and space to visit with all attendees.  Sponsors, Exhibitors and Attendees are able to enjoy the  reception, sharing wines from across Texas at the end of the first day.

Special presentations during the two lunch breaks include a State of the Texas Wine Industry: Presidents Panel and the Crush Survey Report.  The Scholarship Awards presentation and reception will be hosted on Monday evening.  To date, over $55K in scholarships have been awarded to students across Texas working towards a wine industry related field.
