Legal Disclaimer & Assumption of Risk

Last Updated: [February 1, 2026]

Notice: Please read this document carefully. By purchasing a ticket, redeeming a credit, or participating in any event, bus tour, watercraft cruise, or festival hosted by Wino Event Company, you are waiving certain legal rights, including the right to sue for damages resulting from inherent operational or environmental risks.

This Legal Disclaimer and Assumption of Risk governs your engagement with Wino Event Company, doing business as Texas Winos, Wino, and Winos ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). This disclaimer supplements our master Terms and Conditions, Refund Policies, and Guest Health & Safety Mandates.

1. INHERENT RISKS OF PARTICIPATION

By registering for or attending any Company event, you explicitly acknowledge that experiential agritourism, regional transit, marine travel, and public gatherings involve inherent risks, both known and unknown. These risks include, but are not limited to:

  • Physical slips, trips, or falls due to natural, uneven terrain, gravel pathways, wet boat decks, or stairs.
  • Thermal exhaustion, sun exposure, dehydration, or changing weather conditions during open-air festivals or vineyard excursions.
  • Motion-induced incidents, sudden vehicle braking, or boarding friction associated with chartered passenger buses, transport shuttles, and watercraft.

You voluntarily, knowingly, and freely assume all such risks, accepting full personal responsibility for any injury, illness, property damage, or loss sustained during or as a result of an experience.

2. THIRD-PARTY VENUES, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES

The Company acts as an experiential curator that coordinates itineraries involving third-party commercial entities, including independent vineyards, distilleries, breweries, catering organizations, transport lines, and marine vessel operators.

The Company does not own, manage, or maintain the physical structures, personnel, or assets of these external vendors. You agree that the Company shall not be held liable or responsible for any acts of negligence, structural site defects, product defects, unhygienic conditions, service failures, or intentional misconduct executed by any third-party host, vendor, or their respective representatives.

3. ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION & PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY

While the Company promotes historical and cultural wine and craft beverage education, the decision to consume alcohol—and the pace of consumption—remains entirely your choice and responsibility.

The Company expressly disclaims any liability for injuries, behavioral alterations, medical conditions, or legal infractions arising from a guest's voluntary intoxication. Furthermore, the Company accepts zero responsibility for your choices or actions once a tour concludes. Operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol after an experience is strictly prohibited, and you agree to fully indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any resulting third-party civil or criminal claims.

4. ALLERGEN, FOOD, AND BEVERAGE DISCLOSURE

Food products, charcuterie spreads, catered meals, and beverages offered across our festivals and tours are prepped, prepared, and packaged by external culinary partners. These offerings may contain or come into contact with common allergens, including dairy, wheat, gluten, nuts, soy, or sulfites.

The Company does not guarantee an environment free of cross-contamination and disclaims all liability for any mild, acute, or severe adverse allergic reactions resulting from the consumption of foods or beverages served during our multi-venue experiences.

5. PHOTOGRAPHIC, VIDEO, AND MEDIA RELEASE

By entering our tour vehicles, festival grounds, or chartered boats, you are stepping into a public space where media recording occurs.

You hereby grant the Company an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to utilize your voice, photographic likeness, image, or video capture recorded during any event. The Company may leverage this media for promotional assets, digital marketing campaigns, website layout enhancements, social media broadcasting, or television advertisements without providing further notification, compensation, or seeking secondary approvals.

6. SEVERABILITY & GOVERNING LAW

This disclaimer is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted under applicable multi-state commerce laws. If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that a specific section or provision within this document is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that specific clause shall be deemed severable, and its removal shall not compromise the legal validity, structure, or enforceability of any remaining sections.

Consistent with our master Terms and Conditions, this waiver shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Texas, with primary venue assigned exclusively to Travis County, Texas.
