International Wine Competition as Class Champion, Texas Class Champion, Region Class Champion, Reserve Class Champion, Texas Reserve Class Champion, Region Reserve Class Champion, or Double Gold medal are required to participate in the Roundup & Best Bites event with the donation of (2) 9L cases or volumetric equivalent of each winning wine. In addition, we invite these wineries to attend to pour and market their wines to over 5,000 attendees at the event.
All qualifying wineries are requested to complete this online form to indicate whether they will attend. Up to (2) representatives from the winery are invited to attend and pour.

If you are unable to attend, we will staff your table with volunteers to pour and promote your wines. If your table will be staffed by volunteers, please email tasting notes for the qualifying wines to wine@rodeohouston.com. This information will be shared at the table so the pourers can best promote your wines to event guests. Please ensure the email references that the materials are for your Best Bites pourers.
