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