Its not just about the wine

Hubby and I enjoy going to a winery for more than just the drinks. As of this post I counted 27 wineries that we have visited, and a few distilleries and breweries, too!

 Save The World

We carry cards or a dice game everywhere we go.

Garrison Brothers

And sometimes we take our "of age" peeps

Who may or may not understand the finer points of wine,

but still like hanging out with us!

 Wedding Oak Winery

 A lot of the time, there is live music to enjoy.  

 

Bell Springs Winery

 

 

 

 Torr Na Lochs

It's nice to sit and listen to a musician as you sip your wine and enjoy a snack.

And some are very cozy on the inside.

Bent Oak Winery

 Driftwood Estates Winery

Other wineries have expansive views where you can park your folding chair and enjoy a snack on the lawn.

Wimberley Valley Winery

  Beautiful shady yards where you can find your own giant oak to sit under for an afternoon.

The holidays at wineries are also super festive!  Above are the trees at WVW, and at Perissos.

 And in the spring they do fun things like crawfish boils

Flat Creek Estates

 And most of them have very friendly owners who like to educate you about their vineyard, and let you roam the property.  I think the vines are fun to walk through. Some make their own food, like wood fired pizza - so good!

 Saddlehorn

 Torr Na Lochs

Or seasonal appetizer plates.

 Spicewood

 But most of them will also let you pack a snack to enjoy, as long as you aren't right up next to the tasting bar.

Driftwood Estates

And some of them even have food trailers nearby.  Pack your snacks and your card games, grab a couple of folding chairs, and hit the road exploring some wineries.  Texas is full of them and they are such fun, beautiful places to hang out on a weekend!
