Becker Vineyards - Stonewall, Texas
This has to be one of the classic winery destination stops of the Texas Hill Country. Established in 1992 by Richard and Bunny Becker when there was nothing out there, they have now helped establish Fre...dericksburg and the Texas Hill Country as a top destination for wine lovers in the state. With both estate vines and access to vineyards from the Texas High Plains and throughout most of Texas, the Beckers' have grape resources to make just about any quality Texas wine you can imagine. Any time of the year is a great time to visit as the winery has many events and live music occasions on a regular basis. Most wines made here are Bordeaux, Burgundian and Rhone style. The list of wines is quite extensive and to pick out a few to grab your attention would do injustice to the others. One thing is for sure, the older the reds you have from Becker wines the better they will be! Plus, the reds are good for your heart, just ask the doctor. The estate grounds have a log cabin built around 1890s. The reception hall adjacent to the winery is a great place for events. The outside grounds and surrounding Hill Country landscape makes a good backdrop for weddings. And there is more than just wine! Check out the lavender fields! During their annual Lavender Festival, you can enjoy picking your own lavender then enjoy some great tasting Becker wine. The winery also makes a great place for your first wine date. What's there not to like about this place? You just can't go wrong here! Check out their website to see what the latest events are and plan your next trip accordingly.

360 Tour of Becker Vinyards, Stonewall, Texas
Here is a little tour from the inside of the Laverderhaus to the tree outside.
Autunno – 2003; Becker Vineyards; Stonewall,Texas
Sometimes what was not intended...turns out to be just fine. This 12 year old bottle of Texas red wine may not have intended to start on this long journey and sit unopened for so long, but fate has turned out well for this one. This “Super Tuscan” blend of Sangiovese and Merlot (50/50) proved it could stand the test of time and still demonstrate its character in spite of its age. The bouquet was still nice and allowing the wine to breathe a bit really helped bring the vintage to life. It puts a nice “t” in tertiary aromas. Examining the wine in the glass to discern the color and note any separation, you may convince yourself that the color is fading, but honestly, little color separation was detected. You’ll swear that the taste continues to evolve with each taste, but not unexpected for a wine of this age. You’ll note some spice flavors consistently present throughout each sip. We realize the magical flavors fade quickly once a bottle of this age is opened and understand the need to fully enjoy it the day it is uncorked. Doubt there are too many of these bottles still lingering unopened, but if you find you have one, it does pair nicely with Italian dishes. As always, the artwork on the label is also worth saving with a lovely scene of Lake Austin in the Fall. Enjoyed this one!

Pedernales Cellars_2916 Upper Albert Rd Stonewall TX 78671.mov
Introduction to Pedernales Cellars (2916 Upper Albert Road, Stonewall, TX 78671), a family-owned winery in the Texas Hill Country specializing in Spansh and Rhone style wines, including benchmark Tempranillos and Viogniers. Pedernales is devoted to handcrafted wines, sustainable practices, and Texas Hill Country hospitality.
Pedernales Cellars -- Stonewall, Texas
Just off of U.S. Hwy 290 and past the LBJ Ranch is a distinctly Texas style family run vineyard and winery. Their 17 acre estate vineyard contains many of the hot varietals such as Tempranillo, Touriga, Mourvedre, and Genache. These grape varietals have done well in Texas's own unique and sometimes unpredictable climate. Since the days when they first o...pened with just a handful of wines, you can now find a wide selection of whites and reds available with Texas grown grapes in the bottles. The Vino Blanco and Grenache Rose are distinctly good as well as the Muscat Canelli. The Texas Family Reserve really stands out as their quality red and if you're lucky you may still find a few 2006 vintages around. After you've indulged in the Tempranillo and Merlot, save yourself for the Ruby Port. It packs a punch. Wow says it all! We hear that their geothermal cooled cellar is worth checking out, too. The views from the high perch of this winery likewise provide a breathtaking opportunity to relax, soak in the beautiful surrounding Texas hill country and beckon you to stay a while.

Julianna visits Fredericksburg, TX! :: Vacation Day 3 :: March 15, 2013
We slept in this morning and decided to take a trip to Fredericksburg, TX. Fredericksburg is about an hour and 45 minutes from Garner State park and the drive there from Garner is BEAUTIFUL! You literally drive through the rolling hills of Texas. Once in Fredericksburg we had lunch, enjoyed some shopping on Main St (where Miss J announced that she needed a CUTE outfit) and then spent the rest of the afternoon visiting three vineyards : Becker, Pedernales Cellars and Grape Creek. Unfortunately, our camera battery died before we arrived back to Garner State Park and all you missed was us relaxing, going for a bike ride during sunset, roasting more marshmallows and gazing at the stars. It was another great day on our spring break trip!

There’s no way around it: the way we taste our Texas wines has changed. We’re now America’s No. 5 wine-producing state! If you haven’t heard the buzz on the Fredericksburg Wine Road 290 as of late, it’s time to hit the trail. This serene stretch of road along US Highway 290 near Fredericksburg, Texas is being compared to the Napa of 30 years ago–a higher level of development, growth and quality. Up for an adventure (and some best wine in the state)? This is where it’s happening! The thirteen Texas wineries found along this route specialize in home-grown hospitality, with newcomers to the neighborhood like Messina Hof adding to 290’s already esteemed reputation with 3 Top of Class Winners at the 2014 San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo. We’re getting ahead of ourselves, however. The first stop on our Goodtaste tour of 290 landed us at 4.0 Cellars.
4.0’s impressive facility is a good starting point. They’re tasting room is a lively spot with plenty of foot traffic. Here you’ll taste award-winning Texas wines from three different producers: Brennan Vineyards, Lost Oak Winery, and McPherson Cellars. Talk about saving some time on travel (and gas!). They also do a fun ‘Texas Cheese & Wine Experience’ – Texas cheeses from Veldhuizen Cheese Company paired with five wines selected from 4.0 Cellars.
Up the road, maybe 200 yards, is the aforementioned Messina Hof Winery & Resort. One of the pioneers of Texas wines, standouts include their Cabernet Franc Private Reserve as well as their crisp, clear and pleasantly sweet Angel Riesling.
Just across the highway – and a place that’s always intrigued me – is Dan Gatlin’s Inwood Estates Vineyard. Dan is a bit of a renegade and works extremely hard to elevate the status of Texas wines. A MUST, according to Dan, is that a wine needs to say ‘Texas’ on the font label or it is not a true Texas wine. Inwood is known for its Tempranillo, but also doing some really great work with Cabernet — which has immense potential largely untapped in Texas.
We made fast friends with Inwood’s on-site bistro. Be sure to stick around for something to munch on…

In this weeks adventure of the great state of Texas, my lovely family and I ventured out to the collection of Vineyards in the Texas Hill Country.
Our first stop was at the wonderful GrapeCreek Vineyard; this marvelous location was an Italian Villa feel right here in Texas, complete with a tour of the property and a great wine tasting.
