Spring is in the air at the Texas Hill Country Wineries and we are all patiently awaiting the arrival of the beautiful Texas Wildflowers. Due to the blessed rains it is set to be a record wildflower year! Come visit all 24 participating wineries during this picturesque trail, April 9-11 and 16-18, and take in all the beauty along with tasting the vast number of award winning wines from the Texas Hill Country Wineries. Just as the rain and wildflowers refresh the Texas countryside, Texas Hill Country Wineries has refreshed the 2010 Wine and Wildflower Trail. A first for this striking event is a ticketed trail with great benefits and value for you the consumer. Couples ticket cost $60, singles ticket cost $35. The wine trail is all about the wine so each winery will be offering you a minimum of 1 and up to 3 complimentary tastes of their fabulous wines along with a 15% discount on 3 bottle purchases. Taste at each winery, choose your favorites and bring them home to enjoy with friends, family and neighbors. Ticketed consumers will receive an email the week prior to the start of the trail with details on each wineries offerings and events during the Wine & Wildflower Trail. Wildflowers are everywhere on the highways and in the fields. Wishing you could get that beauty in your yard? Trail visitors will receive a packet of wildflower seeds for you to plant in your yard, along your driveway or surrounding your mailbox. Wildflower seed packets provided by the Texas Department of Agriculture and Wildseed Farms are available for each ticketed consumer. Two packets per ticket will be distributed at the wineries. Wineries will have a limited number of packets each; you may not get a seed packet at the first winery you visit. Wine and food pairing can always increase your wine tasting experience. Texas Hill Country Wineries have partnered with the Irish Dairy Board to offer you award winning wines paired with a variety of delectable cheeses. Each winery will have an assortment of cheeses to pair with their wines that will enhance the taste of both the wines and cheeses. Your ticket includes:
Pack a picnic basket and a few friends or family. Linger on patios overlooking the vineyards while enjoying light fare with a glass of your favorite Texas Hill Country Wine. Spring in the Texas Hill Country makes one glad to be alive. |
