We are pleased to announce the outstanding Hill Country Wineries have been selected to participate in this year’s Wine Tasting Expo at the Balloons over Horseshoe Bay Resort Festival, April 19-April 20, 2019. This year’s wineries include:
Fall Creek Vineyards was established in 1975 by Texas businessman/rancher, Ed Auler and his wife, Susan. The vineyards are located eighty miles northwest of Austin in the Texas Hill Country where the sandy loam soil, warm days and cool breezes off Lake Buchanan provide an excellent microclimate for growing premium wine grapes.
Beautifully nestled in the serene surroundings of the Texas Hill Country close to Austin and San Antonio you will find this unique family owned Vineyard. Founded in 1992, Spicewood Vineyards produces the finest award-winning wines. Wines that are known for their timeless appeal and unique flavor of the Texas Hill Country. Wines from Spicewood Vineyards are available not only at the vineyard but also in Texas stores and restaurants. The winery features a large indoor tasting room and outdoor pavilion. The large underground barrel room can accommodate 400 barrels.
Stone House Vineyards is perched on a high bluff overlooking Lake Travis. This 7-acre vineyard reaps benefits from moderating cool breezes blowing in off the water. The winery is constructed from massive limestone blocks, each weighing over 2000 pounds! The barrel room itself is temperature controlled at 58 degrees in order to maintain the quality maturation of barreled wine. The view and experience at Stone House is not to be missed.
Lost Draw Cellars is committed to producing quality wines that highlight the unique terroir of the Texas High Plains. They pride themselves on planting grapes that thrive in the semi-arid climate of the region and strive to continuously improve the growing process in a sustainable way to enhance the character and structure of their wines. Their founding families invite you to enjoy the results of our hard work and dedication to true Texas winemaking.
In Oct 2011, viticulturist Mike McHenry and a group of friends began construction on Wedding Oak Winery with the passion to bring the burgeoning Texas wine industry to the heart of small-town Texas. They opened their historic 1926 tasting room and 10,000 case winery, located at the intersection of U.S. Highway 190 and State Highway 16, on June 1, 2012.
Just as the casual beauty, friendly personalities, and relaxing hospitality defines small-town Texas, Wedding Oak Winery is committed to making Texas wines that celebrate their Texas terroir and wine-growing conditions. Come on in. Slow down and sip for a while.
