Texas Wine Country

Eric & I had such a great time visiting the Texas Wine Country on Valentine's Day! It's still amazes me that I never realized this was just a 2 hour drive from our house!

We started the day out with a healthy (helping) of breakfast at the Koffee Kup in Hico, then headed down 281 to Burnet. We were planning to start south in Burnet and head back north to Lampassas. But we only made it to 3 vineyards, all surrounding Burnet. We had such a great time & look forward to visiting some more of the 27 wineries/vineyards on the map!

Fall Creek - the oldest vineyard in Texas.


Lost Creek - this place has a few rooms to rent, a beautiful outdoor firepit area, and a very nice restaurant/bar for dining.


Lunch on the Road

Perissos - this was our favorite of the three. A couple - the - started this vineyard just a few years ago & has really produced some nice wine. They just opened the vineyard (& their home) for tastings last year. We're looking into their wine club.... hmmm...anniversary gift??
