Go

You don’t need to travel all the way to Napa to get a wine buzz. Instead, take a small drive through the Texas Hill Country and visit Becker Vineyards. Located between Fredericksburg and Stonewall, this winery has a lot to offer lovers of the vine.

The property hosts three-acres of lavender fields, grazing quarter horses, peach orchards and fields of wildflowers. If you get a little too relaxed and try one too many goblets of wine, make it an overnight at the Homestead Bed and Breakfast on property.

No need for California Dreamin’... whether it’s a porch swing and a sip of Chardonnay during late summer, or an open fire and a Cabernet during the winter, this winery is uncorked year-round.
