TX HILLCOUNTRY WINE

Texas is the country’s third-largest American Viticultural Area (AVA).

Hill Country vineyards and wineries welcome visitors for tastings and private events. Wedding Oak Winery in San Saba offers 100% Texas-grown wines on its patio and terrace, as does Duchman Family Winery in Driftwood, together with charcuterie boards, pizzas and light bites. In Hye, Ron Yates Wines offers Spanish-, Italian- and Rhône-style wines at a tasting pavilion open seven days a week. Fredericksburg’s Slate Theory Winery has an awesome underground cellar for tastings (reservations required) and a tasting room open to the public. In Stonewall, Pedernales Cellars has a beautiful deck with Hill Country views. Johnson City’s Lewis Wines sits on 100 acres and offers tastings, tours and fun events. 

The website Texas Hill Country Wineries provides more information, including a winery map and event happenings.

Growing up in San Antonio, there is no shortage of great barbecue with powerhouses like 2M, Pinkerton’s, South, Reese Bros, Three Six General and Black’s BBQ all within reach, leaving me always on the hunt for the next dope wine pairing.
