Wine & Food Week Celebrity Guests

The week culminates with the grand dame—the elaborate Wine Rendezvous Grand Tasting & Chef Showcase at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Ballroom where acclaimed chefs compete for the coveted GOYA Foods Chef of Chefs Award with a Waterford crystal trophy and $5,000 cash prize. 

Looking for that extra touch of VIP, be sure to get tickets early to the Bayway Cadillac VIP Luxury Lounge with specialty wines but limited space.  Wine & Food Week is truly foodie heaven all the while supporting charitable organizations such as New Danville and The Woodlands Arts Council, just to name a few. 

“Thrilled, doesn’t even come close to how the team at Food & Vine Productions is feeling about having our most long-standing event all together again,” said Wine & Food Week Co-Founder Constance McDerby.  And to celebrate 18 years we felt it was a good time to uncork a few new events for our line-up.”

Wine & Food Week Tribute to Cleverly Stone

The event will also pay tribute to an icon in the Houston Restaurant Scene for many years. McDerby announced, “It is not every event year that Wine & Food Week announces a Hall of Fame inductee.  Only three have been named for this prestigious lifetime achievement award.  This year, Wine & Food Week honors the memory of none other than Cleverley Stone, affectionately known as the “Diva of Dining” and a long-time friend of Food & Vine Time Productions,” remarked McDerby.

Stone was an icon in the Houston restaurant scene with hundreds of interviews on TV, The Cleverley Show (Texas’ most popular and longest-running radio program about food, wine, and dining which hit the 15-year mark in 2018.)  Stone founded Houston Restaurant Weeks in 2003, which is now the city’s largest annual fundraiser of its kind, making it her life’s mission to beat hunger in Houston. “Dine Out & Do Good” was Stone’s mantra, and her tireless efforts spurred an annual citywide boom in restaurant revenues and contributions to the Houston Food Bank.  The induction ceremony will take place at the toast to the kickoff of the Wine Rendezvous Grand Tasting & Chef Showcase. 

Wine & Food Week guests will rub elbows and mingle with tastemakers who have made their mark on the culinary and wine industry in remarkable ways. Don’t delay.  Get tickets today for this culinary extravaganza—the 18th Anniversary celebration of Wine & Food Week. Event information and tickets at wineandfoodweek.com.
