Outside of work, you can likely find her curled up on with a hot cup of coffee, practicing yoga, baking, or exploring the beautiful Lone Star State (in particular, the vast and mystical West Texas desert).
Sipping a glass of wine while taking in some of the most breathtaking views imaginable? If this sounds too good to be true, you’re in for a fantastic surprise. The next time you’re searching for an unforgettable adventure that combines fine adult beverages with the beautiful Lake Buchanan and iconic Texas Hill Country sunsets, look no further than this incredible cruise in Texas.
If you love wine and beautiful scenery, this is the cruise for you. You'll get to enjoy the breathtaking vistas of Lake Buchanan with the added bonus of sampling some of the state's finest vino!
The ship departs from the normal docking location and travels across the lake to nearby Fall Creek Falls. Would y'all just look at that waterfall?! Sure doesn't look like something you'd typically find in Texas.
On the way back, you'll stop at Fall Creek Vineyards. It was established in 1975 and proudly holds the title of the first vineyard to exist in the Hill Country!
It's about a 1/4-mile walk from the boat to the winery - hardly anything to complain about, especially given the gorgeous views like this one around every turn.
A knowledgeable guide will take you on an informative tour explaining the wine-making process, and then the fun begins! Sample as many different wines as your heart desires, and then get a glass of your favorite to enjoy while watching an iconic Texas sunset unfold.
Cruising back to the docking station takes a short 30 minutes - and if the lake wasn't already stunning enough earlier, you're in for a real treat now. The trees reflecting on the water as the sun makes its descent behind them makes for a truly jaw-dropping sight.
