Austin Texas Homes

Where To Go?…Napa California or Texas Hill Country.
Spring is here and the wildflowers are blooming in the Texas Hill Country. Time for a picnic basket and a glass of wine.

Napa, California is known for its fine wineries and beautiful countryside and I am in the mood for both. But California is a long way from Texas and I don’t want to plan a vacation trip. I just want to relax so I will head to the Texas Wine Country.

Five million visitors a year come to the Texas Wine Country located just outside of Austin. Five million people sounds like a lot. Yet, overall, it is a little known fact that Texas Hill Country is also wine country and is ranked as the #2 wine destination in the nation, second only to Napa, California

Spring time is a wonderful time for visiting the wine country; roadsides are filled with colorful windflowers and open fields make for a wonderful scenic drive. You can follow the wine trail from the privacy of your own car or you can schedule a tour and sample all the wine you want and be safe. Safe you will want to be as there are 22 winaries along the trail. Wine country tours range from limos to hot air ballon rides or candlelight dinners.

Well, gotta go now. My private limo just arrived for my day in the beautiful Texas Hill and Wine Country. I will toast you at my first stop. “See” you next week.
