Upcoming Texas Wine Trail Events

You're welcome anytime, but there are five special Trail Events planned throughout the year to enhance your Hill Country Winery experience. In anticipation, wineries will host tastings of newly released wines, and wine and food pairings, seminars, demonstrations and tours. Come and meet the vintners as you tour and taste. Enjoy the Hill Country artists, musicians, crafters, chefs and entertainers of all kinds featured at the wineries during the Trail Events.

All the trails are self-guided driving tours to be enjoyed at your leisure. Some wineries charge to taste during non-ticketed events. Consult the individual websites for charges.

NOTE: Dates of Trail Events vary from year to year so consult our website for exact dates and times. Tickets for events are limited and most events sell out. Trail Event participation does require a ticket (except for the Wine and Wildflower Trail), so register early! Of course, you may still visit and enjoy the wineries during the Trail Events without registering....sample the wines, tour the wineries as available, visit tasting rooms, sip wine on patios and discover the charm of the Texas Wine Country.
2009 Harvest Wine Trail • Aug 14-16 & 21-23

The verve of the wine industry in The Texas Hill Country begins each year in August with the birth of the next vintage. We invite you to savor the sight, sound, smell and taste of Harvest with the Texas Hill Country Wineries. Make your plans to join us for the 2009 Harvest Wine Trail, August 14-16 and 21-23, and enjoy a wealth of opportunities to immerse yourself in the experience and lifestyle of harvest.

It's 6:00am in the Texas Hill Country wine region. The air is brisk, the only time all day. The vineyards are peaceful and quite, the sounds of tractors echo over the grapes. The commotion begins…work boots crunch the cool soil, cluster stems snap under the knife, a gentle pattering of grapes as they tumble into buckets and the roar of pickers, winemakers and owners laughing. Their labor of love has truly begun!

Harvest is the season when wineries bring to the forefront those rarely seen vineyard and crush activities for wine enthusiasts to appreciate. Ticket holders traverse the twenty-four participating wineries sprinkled throughout the Hill Country debuting exciting new wines, watching and learning vineyard practices in motion, taking part in wine seminars or jumping feet first into a two ton grape stomp. The wine trail weekends are yours to plan…no need to start at 6am with the harvest though.

This year ticket holders will be able to add to their wine experience by collecting wine labels and taking notes on your favorite wines from each participating winery in a one-of-a-kind Texas Hill Country Wineries case bound label and wine notes book. Harvest Wine Trail is the launch of the Wine Trail Promotions. During the trails each winery will offer a custom 3-bottle selection carefully selected for the season at a 15% discount to Wine Trail ticket holders only.

Ticket prices are $35.00 per person and good for Fri-Sun of both weekends. Label books will be available for pick up at your choice of designated winery or can be mailed to you direct from THCW. Please designate which one of the delivery options you would like, pickup or mailing. For pickup, choose one of the 24 participating wineries where you would like to receive your label book. For mailing, please allow 3-5 business days. If you are buying your tickets on the Wednesday before the trail or once the trail has begun, the mailing option will not work for you. NOTE: Books left at home cannot be replaced or re-fulfilled upon arrival to the wineries. One book per ticket only.

Enjoy the festivities, taste your favorites, enjoy exclusive discounts and take home the memories of harvest in the Texas Hill Country.
