Paris Wine Fest 2025

Paris, Texas Wine Fest… Paris, Texas Wine Fest is back. Join your friends for an evening to Sip, Savor, and Shop around downtown Paris, Texas! April 12, 2025, 6:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m.

Paris Main Street and partners present Paris, Texas Wine Fest, a ticketed event that highlights Texas Wineries from across the state, local eateries, and businesses found in downtown Paris Texas.

The event boasts 10 different fabulous winery partners from across Texas. Each winery will have a booth set up inside a business where winery representatives will give attendees a sample of their wine and have bottles ready for purchase. This is an opportunity to purchase some of the best wines from across Northeast and Central Texas. Winemakers will share information about their vineyards and the types of wine they are bringing.

Ten downtown businesses will host one of 10 different eateries, food trucks, farms, or restaurants from across northeast Texas. Ticket holders can expect a bite-sized sample of gourmet foods representative of amazing menu items found at each participating food establishment. Some menu items will be for sale depending on location.

Beginning at 5:45 p.m. ticket holders can check in at City Hall, 107 E. Kaufman in downtown Paris, Texas to pick up their 2025 swag bags and participant wristbands. This year’s swag bags include a 2025 commemorative wine glass, wine glass lanyard, and a reusable wine bottle tote for purchases. These items are provided courtesy of the event sponsors, and all ticket holders will receive their own swag bag.

Back for 2025 Fete de Vin VIP Pairing Experience

VIP ticket holders will arrive early to enjoy an exclusive, curated experience hosted at Paris Emporium before Wine Fest. Delicious hors d’oeuvres prepared by our executive chef will be paired with selected French wines at four different stations, each with a wine expert on hand to enhance and elevate your knowledge and enjoyment of wines.

Tickets for the Fete de Vin Pairing Experience are limited to 50 guests. Enjoy a streamlined ticketing experience starting at 5:00 pm at Downtown Coffee, 111 Lamar Ave. Attendees can check in and receive the Wine Fest wristband and special VIP swag. Fete de Vin will begin at 5:15pm and end at 5:55pm, so all VIP ticket holders can enjoy the Paris Wine Fest event right on time.

Entertainment will be featured inside businesses or at various outdoor locations. Local Artist exhibits include live painting at different locations.

Event proceeds will help provide funding for the Paris Main Street Building Improvement Grant. Through this program, building and business owners may obtain matching grants for the improvement of downtown signage, facades and other building improvements while keeping the building’s historical integrity. “To date, the Main Street Advisory Board has granted over $120,000 for improvements to historic downtown buildings, in some instances assisting to put them back in service instead of sitting vacant” says Cheri Bedford, Main Street Coordinator. We are also looking at different ways we can incentivize projects in downtown that partner well with our focus areas of more Arts and Entertainment in downtown.

“The Building Improvement Grant has had a huge impact toward the goals for revitalization of the downtown”, says Board Chair Glee Emmite

Only 400 tickets are sold, keeping the event an intimate gathering. Tickets are now available online at Pariswinefest.com. Ticket price points are $45 for Paris Wine Fest and $95 for Fete du Vin VIP Pairing Experience.
