“One of the 10 best
wine travel
destinations in
the world.”
— Wine Enthusiast
Welcome
Make your destination the “Wine Country of Texas”
Located deep in the heart of the Texas Hill Country,
the Texas Hill Country American Viticulture Area (AVA)
is listed as “One of the Best Wine Travel Destinations in the World”
(Wine Enthusiast, February 2014)
and the “Number One Place to Visit in the Summer”
(New York Times, June 2008).
You will discover what 5 million annual visitors already know: The Texas Hill
Country Wineries are spectacular and fun! With 42 unique and visually
stunning wineries scattered throughout the 15,000 square miles of Texas
Hill Country, there is someplace new to explore around every bend from
Austin to Fredericksburg and Lampasas to New Braunfels. Each place
has its own personality, terroir and style of winemaking, yet all share a
commitment to quality and a fervent passion for what they do. We invite
newcomers and old friends alike to an award-winning wine experience only
Texas can offer. If you do not know exactly what your palate prefers, the
Texas Hill Country Wineries trail events will help you through the tasty
journey…all on a tank of gas.
Join us for our self-guided driving tours or travel with a group. It’s always
fun to take a wine trail trip in conjunction with a festival or seasonal event.
You can visit several wineries in a day or take a more leisurely approach
discovering restaurants, artists’ studios and bed-and-breakfasts along the
way. Check out the beautiful scenery and perhaps take in some local music
while you’re experiencing fine wines.
Texas Hill Country Wineries, which includes 42 member wineries, is the
largest and most well-known association of wineries in the state. Our
region is a key attraction among the Hill Country’s 5 million annual visitors.
There are self-guided trail events, group tastings, barrel tastings and more
in the Texas Hill Country wine region.
Please drink and drive responsibly, use a designated driver.

that goes far beyond
Bier und Brats.
If you come to Fredericksburg for
authentic German cuisine, we will not
disappoint. But further exploration
will reveal decidedly more diverse
menus. Escolar and lobster. Seared
duck breast with ginger/orange glaze.
Tender steaks. And naughty desserts.
All complemented by award-winning
cabernets, rieslings, tempranillos, and
viogniers from our numerous vineyards
and wineries. Incidentally, “Zauber” is
German for “magic.” Guten Appetit.
