The first 300 tasters who make their way to Corks & Caps will get their choice of a commemorative glass. A cigar area will be designated for those wanting to enjoy only the best of the best, hosted by CJ’s Cigar Lounge of Brownwood fame. All participating wineries will also have bottles of their signature wines available for sale. Fantastic live music will be performed by The Remedy (a great blend of rock, country, and pop cover songs from artists such as Keith Urban, Chris Stapleton, Tom Petty, Billy Joel, and more), and the Sum Brothers playing music from their debut release entitled “Brownwood,” in addition to their band members’ award-winning country music material.

The city of Brownwood is actually located at the geographic center of Texas! They can lay claim to being “deep in the heart” of the state, and as charming as that may sound, their location is even better. Locals love their Brownwood amenities and visitors like the fact that it’s tourist-friendly. They take southern hospitality quite seriously here, and it shows. Its pleasant downtown core, presently undergoing revitalization, has a welcoming atmosphere, a vibrant shopping and dining scene, and has carved a niche for itself in the wine and craft beer industry. They know a thing or two about good spirits! And they’re sharing them with all who visit for the Corks & Caps event, now in its fifth year running.
