Winery
We love wine, and we really love the amazing Texas wine in the area. Make sure to make a reservation if it's a busy weekend, and have a great time!
Local family winery that is creating some delicious Texas wine. The tasting room and back yard are super relaxing and the experience is intimate. We recommend a tasting and then a glass of their Tannat.
From the website:
We are a family-owned winery dedicated to making the best wines produced with Texas-grown Fruit. On a beautiful day, you'll find most of us outside sitting under our covered patio that overlooks our vines or under many large oak trees that look out on beautiful vistas. At Ab Astris, vineyard and Hill Country views are complemented by fine Texas wines
