UPDATE 4-29-09 Wein and Saengerfest HAS BEEN CANCELED
Fine wine and fine art are an excellent pairing. But many folks still think of France when they hear the words fine wine and we all know the fine art that has been produced there over the centuries. Texas, however, is becoming better known for both its fine wines and talented artists. The original artwork above, appropriately named “Wine Soaked Meadow”, celebrates the wildflowers and the wines of the Texas Hill Country
Yes, it's time to check out the new offerings of Texas wine and what better way to do so than spending the afternoon at Wein and Saengerfest. This all-day celebration of the grape in downtown New Braunfels, Texas, is being held on Saturday May 2, 2009. The official hours are from 12 noon to 10 p.m. There will be wine tasting, wine seminars, grape stomping, food booths and local artisans offering their latest creations. Live music and street dance under stars will be featured in the main plaza. This is a family friendly festival and there's even free art and craft activities for kids in the upstairs of the New Braunfels Art League Gallery at 239 W. San Antonio.
If that's not enough, we are having our own celebration as well. Casa De Linda Art Studio and Gallery is celebrating its 5th anniversary with an Open House and Studio Sale Friday, Saturday and Sunday (May 1-3). Our studio is located above the New Braunfels Art League Gallery. So if you are thinking of coming to the Wein and Saengerfest, plan to come upstairs (or take the elevator) to the second floor at the NBAL Gallery and check out all the wildflower paintings and art-related gift items. Yes “Wine Soaked Meadow” is one of the featured paintings that will be for sale. Our Open House hours are Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday 12-5 p.m. Wine, wildflower art, great specials and friends...now that's the way we do it in Texas!
