to the Region’s
Welcome
Make your destination the "Wine Country of Texas"
located deep in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, voted the number 2
fastest growing wine destination in the nation second only to Napa! (Orbitz.com)
and the number one place to visit in the Summer (New York Times)
Texas is one of the original and eldest wine growing states in the United
States, with vines planted here more than one hundred years before they
were planted in California or Virginia. In the 1650s, Franciscan priests
planted Mission vines in West Texas, near modern day El Paso. The vines
were a necessity in the production of sacramental wine. The famed
horticulturist Thomas Munson used Texas vines to create hundreds of
hybrid grapes and conducted significant research in finding root stock
immune to the Phylloxera epidemic, which saved the French wine
industry from total ruin. The advent of Prohibition in the United States
virtually eliminated Texas' wine industry, which didn't experience a
revival until the 1970's, beginning with the founding of wineries in the
Texas High Plains Appellation. With the new generation of winemakers
began the recognition of Texas wines on the international stage.
Today, Texas is the fifth largest wine producing state (behind California,
New York, Washington and Oregon), and the
number of Texas wineries almost quadrupled
between 2001 and 2011. Texas wineries
have produced 1.2 million cases of wine
in recent years and its wine and grape
growing industry contributes $1.8 billion
a year to the state's economy.
Texas is an enormous state (27 percent
larger than France), so it stands to reason
that many kinds of grapes can be grown
here. There are over 100 grape varieties
planted in Texas and because there are so
many different microclimates and soil types it can be difficult to generalize
characteristics of Texas wines. A Tempranillo produced in the North Central
region, with its high elevations, low precipitation and cool nights, might as
well come from a different country as a Muscat from the hot, low-lying
Southeast. If you do not know exactly what your palate prefers, the Texas
Wine Trail will help you through that 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. Don't forget to check out the beautiful scenery and perhaps take in
some local music while you're experiencing fine wines.
Join Us
for a taste of the good life and all that accompanies
fine wine and the unique experience of our 20 Year Award-Winning region!
