Why not spend an entire month traveling on the Hill Country Wine Trail! During the month of October, you can journey through several Texas Hill Country Wineries. On this self-guided tour, you can enjoy local wines and find the perfect food pairing. When you begin, you’ll want to be open to try new varietals, pairings and methods. The Hill Country’s wine production is often compared to those of California, Italy, France and Australia. As a result of a temperate climate, nutrient-rich soil and plenty of sunlight, wines from Texas are sure to please everyone’s palate!

For less than $100, you can visit up to four wineries per day for the entire month of October! However, to make sure your visit is productive and relaxing, you will want to plan ahead. First, you will want to keep in mind that not all wineries are open 7 days a week. Next, the Hill Country Wine Trail limits guests to be over 21 years of age. Third, you may need to travel a bit between wineries. After that, you will need to consider a central location to stay. After all, why not turn a memorable Hill Country Wine Trail tour for the two of you into a romantic adventure! Finally, drink responsibly! We want every guest to come back next year!

Places to Stay

The key to any fun and relaxing Hill Country getaway includes finding the perfect spot to stay. First, you should consider what you plan to do during your stay. For example, if you are planning to tour several wineries, consider mapping them out. Then, contact a premier Hill Country lodging expert to help you find a home to rent. Next, you will want to decide if a cabin or a home works best for you. After that, you can check availability and pricing. Many luxury vacation homes are considerably cheaper than you would imagine, for example. Finally, have a fantastic time!
