The Best Wineries in Texas Wine Country
Texas Wine Country is just over an hour outside of Austin and San Antonio and a four-hour drive from Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston. Texas is the fifth largest wine-producing state in the country. Most of Texas Wine Country is centered around the historic town of Fredericksburg and the Hill Country AVA (American Viticultural Area), one of the country's most visited wine areas.
The Hill Country AVA is the second largest certified AVA in the country and home to over nine million acres of vineyards with 50 wineries and tastings rooms spread throughout Texas Wine Country. As you tour various Texas Hill Country wineries, don't miss your chance to explore the hill country towns that bring this area so much charm and character.
