Giving Back to the Community
This year, the Fredericksburg Food & Wine Festival deepens its connection to the Hill Country community. Following recent catastrophic floods, a portion of the festival’s proceeds will support the Hill Country Hospitality Relief Fund. This fund provides aid to hospitality professionals across the region who were impacted by the disaster.
