Austin Food and Wine Festival 2017

Foodies all around Central Texas rejoiced as the Austin Food and Wine Fest returned to our fair city on April 28 - 30, 2017. The fest was back this year after a rainout in 2016. Once again, nationally recognized chefs brought their epicurean expertise to educate local  guests.




The daytime events were once again held on auditorium shores on the banks Lady Bird Lake.


Limelight Imaging was on hand to capture some of the excitement on Saturday and Sunday of the fest.
