So I am crossing over into Vanessa territory, but I couldn’t pass this up. Texas Hill Country Wineries are pretty cool, and we (living in Austin) are pretty fortunate to have so many so close. I got into wine because my Mom’s “new thing” was to visit all the wineries on the Texas Hill Country Tour, and this past summer I did 6 wineries in one day with her! I know what you are thinking, but it is only wine TASTING and it is not enough to get you where you can’t drive.
Not only do I feel a little bit more “cultured,” but I also know what wine I actually like to drink at restaurants. My advice: these wineries are great day trips and can be a good spot for a date or somewhere to take your parents for something different. If you go towards Fredericksburg, you can even visit Luckenbach!

The people are actually my family when we were all having a wine tasting at one of the wineries near Fredericksburg…I am acutally in the back! Haha
