San Antonio's Tower of the Americas is gearing up for its yearly indulgence in viniculture with the Wine Fest set for an April 6 bash. Amidst the sturdy concrete of the iconic structure, aficionados and the wine-curious alike will have the chance to swill back samples from 24 Sonoma County wineries, according to KSAT. Those in attendance can expect to pair their sips with live tunes, gourmet appetizers, a bit of friendly competition with lawn games, and the possibility of walking away with prizes.

The day is slated to unfold between 2 and 5 p.m., transforming the landmark's base into a wine lover's wonderland. Touts amongst wine circles like 32 Winds Wine, La Crema, and Rombauer Vineyards will pour out their finest, as noted by KSAT. In a toast to military service, members can uncork discounts when flashing a valid ID.

As the anticipation bubbles up, hopeful attendees are scrambling to snag their passes to what's become a San Antonio staple. Pre-sale general admission will set you back $55 but lag until the day of, and you're forking over a tenner more, totaling $65 at the gate, as reported by MySanAntonio. For those looking to splurge, a $90 VIP experience adds a private tent among other plush perks to the mix.

This fiesta of fermented grapes isn't just about getting tipsy under the Texas sun. It's a chance to nibble on chef-inspired hors d'oeuvres and bend one's mind around the intricacies of wine-making with educational sessions provided by Sonoma Wine. Those in the Landry's Select Club can also expect some financial coddling with undefined discounts. And remember, those under 21 need not apply – ID is mandatory for entry, ensuring the event remains a sophisticated, adult affair.

All the merriment is pinned down at 739 E. Cesar E. Chavez Blvd.
