About the application

We’re excited to invite you to participate in one of our favorite signature events—the 16th Annual Georgetown Swirl!

 

This award-winning event, featuring local food, Texas wine, and downtown shopping, will be held on Saturday, March 7, 2026, from 5:30-8:30 p.m. The theme this year is "Sweet 16." We encourage you to embrace the theme and join in the festivities-- think pink!

 

Highlights from 2025:

·         A sold-out crowd enjoyed delicious pairings of Texas wines and savory bites.

·         Attendees dined, shopped, and "swirled" around the square, supporting local stores and Texas wineries.

·         Proceeds from The Swirl benefit the Main Street Façade & Sign Grant Program, which has provided over $700,000 to enhance downtown properties and businesses.

 

This year, we’ll keep the event intimate with 600 VIP and general admission tickets available. We’d love for you to join us as a Swirl winery partner!
