Visit Texas Wineries

Sip Your Way Through The Texas Wine Country

1. Pick a Home Base
   With dozens of wineries scattered across 15,000 square miles, zero in on a home base like Fredericksburg, Johnson City, or Luckenbach to minimize drive times between tastings. Wake up amid the vineyards one day, then try a new town the next.
2. Limit It to 3 Wineries Per Day
   Pace yourself by visiting no more than three wineries in a day. This allows you time to savor their unique ambience and wine selections without getting overwhelmed.
3. Check Hours and Make Reservations
   Some wineries require reservations for tastings, especially on weekends. Confirm visiting hours in advance to avoid surprises. Hours vary, with some wineries closing as early as 4pm.
4. Pair Tastings with Local Flavors
   Schedule winery visits around lunch or dinner to sample the area’s excellent regional cuisine in between. Or pack a picnic basket with gourmet goodies from shops in town for a vineyard lunch break.
5. Take in the Local Charm
   Beyond the wine, soak up the spirit by exploring historic downtowns, shops, live music venues, and sites like Enchanted Rock. Discover the storied terroir that makes this region so captivating.
   
   With proper planning, you can craft an unforgettable wine country getaway. Just pace yourself, appoint a designated driver, and prepare to fall in love with Texas wines!
