Haute Wheels Food Truck Festival

It is with great passion and pride that Clifton & Constance McDerby brought consumer culinary, wine and craft beer events to the residents of the Greater Houston Area.  Launched in 2002, the McDerby's goal was to share their love for food and wine and all the many benefits it brings to personal and business relationships - both established and new. While at the same time breaking down the mystique and pretentiousness of wine.  With this front and center, Food & Vine Time Productions was born.

The first event was the Galveston Food & Vine Times which drew 300 guests. The attendance tripled the second year and again in the third year. Then the focus moved to The Woodlands with the perfect infrastructure to handle a multi-day, multi-faceted destination culinary and wine event. The industry support emerged seemingly overnight and Wine & Food Week was launched in 2005.  Over 4,000 guests participated the first year.
