The Best Texas Hill Country Wineries

Sip & Savor the Best of Texas Hill Country Wineries This Spring

If you haven’t had the chance to sip and swirl your way through Texas Hill Country wineries, this spring is the perfect time to start. Alongside the region’s signature natural beauty, you’ll discover one of the most exciting and fast-growing wine destinations in the country.

Texas is home to the first vineyard in North America, planted by Franciscan priests back in 1662. Fast forward to today, and Texas Wine Country has grown into the fifth-largest wine-producing state in the U.S., with over 100 wineries scattered across the stunning Texas Hill Country.

Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or just beginning your tasting journey, Texas Hill Country offers a welcoming and down-to-earth experience. And when you stay at our luxurious Hill Country Bed and Breakfast in Wimberley, you'll enjoy not only the ideal home base for exploring but also indulgent accommodations, one of Wimberley’s best restaurants, and a serene day spa for the ultimate escape.

Start Your Journey in the Heart of Texas Wine Country

Texas Wine Country is just over an hour from both Austin and San Antonio and around four hours from Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston. Many of the region's top wineries are centered around the charming town of Fredericksburg—just about an hour from our Bed and Breakfast—making it the perfect starting point for your wine country adventure.

As you explore, take time to enjoy the charm of towns like Wimberley and Fredericksburg. Their small-town feel, combined with rolling vineyards and wide-open skies, create a wine-tasting experience that's both scenic and soulful.

When to Visit Texas Hill Country Wineries

The best time to visit is spring, from March through May, when the fields are blanketed in blooming bluebonnets and wildflowers. The harvest season—August through October—is also a fantastic time to visit, as the vineyards buzz with activity and themed events fill the calendar.

To help kick off your trip, here are ten standout Texas Hill Country wineries to add to your list:
