Texas Hill Country Wineries

[Stuck_At_Work]

Curious if there is any sort of rankings/ratings for the different wineries in the Hill Country. I've been to some that seem very established. Then there were those that still operate out of mobile homes. I plan on taking my parents on a wine tour and I'm trying to figure out which ones to avoid and which ones are must visits.

Becker in Fredericksburg is good stuff.

what's the best time of year to visit places like that, anyway?

I went to Becker during March last year. Bluebonnets were in bloom, weather was beautiful. It was very pleasant. If you want to see the vines in full form, go during September.

Fall Creek is another very nice place to visit.

We are doing one of their wine tours (all the wineries you can hit for a set price). Tastings are included. They do this type of thing every so often. Even with just a few sips of wine at each winery, you can get pretty tipsy by the end of the evening... so make sure you have a designated driver.
