One Vineyard. One Vintage. Thirteen Winemakers.

Slate Theory Winery Cave
Get ready for a Texas wine celebration unlike any other!
The Tempra Tantrum brings together 13 Texas wineries, one incredible vineyard, and a community of wine lovers to celebrate one of Texas' signature grape varieties - Tempranillo.
This all started with an extraordinary act of generosity. Pedro Letkeman of Letkeman Family Vineyards donated more than 20 tons of Texas-grown Tempranillo to the Texas Wine Auction Foundation. Those grapes were shared among 13 talented Texas wineries, each crafting their own unique expression of the very same fruit.
Now it's your chance to experience them side by side.
Join us in the stunning cave at Slate Theory Winery for an exclusive barrel tasting where you'll discover how one vineyard, one grape, and 13 different winemaking styles create remarkably different wines. Along the way, you'll learn why place matters, how Texas soil, farming practices, and our unique AVAs shape every bottle and celebrate the farmers whose hard work makes Texas wine possible.
Your ticket includes:
- Meet with owners and winemakers from 13 different wineries who will be sharing barrel tastings and production techniques
- Curated food pairings
- The opportunity to pre-purchase your favorite wines before they're released
- Guests pre-purchasing their favorites will receive an exclusive invite to the release celebration tentatively scheduled for Spring 2027
Even better, every bottle purchased makes an impact. $12.50 from every bottle sold will support the Texas Wine Auction Foundation's Hospitality Assistance Fund, providing free mental health counseling services for hospitality professionals and their families.
Come raise a glass to Texas farmers, family-owned wineries, exceptional Tempranillo, and a cause that strengthens the people who make our hospitality community thrive.
