Our History:

It is with great passion and pride that Clifton & Constance McDerby brought consumer culinary and wine events for the residents of the Greater Houston Area. Launched in 2002, the McDerby's goal was to share their love for food and wine and all the many benefits it brings to personal relationships, business relations - both established and new - and at the same time break down the mystique and pretentiousness of wine and Food & Vine Time Productions was born.

The first event was the Galveston Food & Vine Times which drew 300 guests. The attendance tripled the second year and again in the third year. Then the focus moved to The Woodlands with the perfect infrastructure to handle a mutli-day, multi-faceted culinary and wine event. The industry support emerged seemingly overnight and Wine & Food Week was launched 2005 and was enjoyed by over 4,000 participants.

Today, Wine & Food Week welcomes 10,000+ guests who choose from a broad selection of offerings designed for both the novice and serious enthusiast for both culinary and wine. None of this could have happened without the dedicated are tireless efforts of the volunteers who give their time and energies to create a seamless and fun event for the guests. Bruce Bricco, Director of Operations for Wine & Food Week. has worked ten years and has amassed a team of volunteer captains second to none.
