The Galveston Island Wine Festival is returning September 1 through September 3, 2023 and this year, it's being held at Moody Gardens in Galveston. It's a comeback of sorts for the festival which has been on COVID pandemic hiatus since its last event in 2019. The GIWF was cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic restrictions and is finally makin a return.
For out of town guests or those smart enough to make plans for a festival centered around adult beverages, Moody Gardens is offering several Sip and Stay packages for one, two or three nights plus a selection of wine festival events. The three-night"On Cloud Wine" hotel package offers access to all of the weekend's festival events including the exclusive House of Suntory Welcome Reception and the Beck Family Estates Champagne Social.
Well-known local chef David Cordua and his father, famed founder of Churrasco's - Michael Cordua, were offering guests a good-sized beef empanada with a creamysauce. When we opened up the pastry of the empanada, steam escaped as did the beef which filled the pastry. There was a hint of cinnamon and Cordua told us that he added pine nuts as well to give the filling the flavor of, a popular dish in many Middle Eastern cuisines.
