What are your plans for the Memorial Day weekend? If you’re still narrowing down your options, you may want to consider the 2011 Austin Wine and Music Festival on May 28 and 29 from 1 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. in the backyard of The Domain. The event is located in northwest Austin, so it’s convenient to owners of Austin luxury real estate.

The festival is a unique celebration of Austin’s local offerings: It’s 100 percent local wine, brew and you. And, while you’re relaxing and sipping your wine you’ll enjoy more than 10 musicians and bands including up and coming stars and those who have been serenading Texans for generations.

However, wine and music aren’t the only things featured at the Austin Wine and Music Festival: You’ll find almost anything to complement your wine bottle, home or yourself with vendors including Boomerang’s Handheld Aussie Pies, Chedd’s Gourmet Grilled Cheese, The Sugar Shack BBQ, Affinity Metalworks, Brush Strokes Pottery, Clarity Art Studio, The Gypsy Couture and Vardanyan Jewelry to name a few.

One-day passes are $40 and include admission to the festival; access to live music, vendors and food; participation in festival seminars (additional charge for Cigar and Port tasting); 12-tab sampler wristband for wine or beer sampling; and complementary wine tasting to all participating wineries.
