Is Texas a good state for wine growing?
It is! Texas Hill County isn't just one of the most picturesque places in the state; it's also the Lone Star State's very own slice of Wine Country. Rolling hills, sprawling estates, and absolutely unparalleled sunsets are all the ingredients necessary for a rejuvenating getaway – so adding in a few glasses of high-quality vino is just icing on the cake. The 290 "Wine Trail" lets oenophiles savor the bounty of the region, with the majority of the wineries nestled between Hye and Fredericksburg. The unique terroir of the Texas High Plains capture the essence of the area in the most refined and resplendent of ways, making for a wine tasting experience you can only have in Texas. Among the myriad destinations on the Wine Trail, Lost Draw Cellars is celebrated as one of the best.

You might be surprised to learn that there are over 500 wineries in Texas, ranging from small producers who concentrate on tourism for the majority of their sales to large wineries who support state, national, and international markets. Looking for suggestions? Here are a few of what we consider to be among the best wineries in Texas:

Guided tours of the winemaking facility are typically held on Saturdays and Sundays. After the wine-tasting, you are welcome to take a stroll through the vineyard and enjoy a picnic lunch, or eat at the Bistro (reservations required) for a true fine dining experience.
