& Weekend Getaways
Explore the many facets North Texas Wine Country has to offer.
Mix and Match these day trips for a weekend away or your own custom wine trail!
Visit our many North Texas Wineries that are each as unique as the men and women who willed them into being.
Texans have always been known to blaze their own trails and the Texas Wine Industry is no different. We have our larger-than-life personalities and a few characters too. Every winery is distinctive. Some may choose to grow local grapes, others utilize the grapes of the Texas High Plains and well beyond. The vast majority of wines are created from grapes, but some tinker with the wide array of fruits and nuts that are allowed in Texas winemaking. We have cider masters, cellar masters, creative viticulturists (growers), and brilliant vintners (winemakers). Many paths lead people to winemaking…and Texas is pioneering the next great wine country right here.
North Texas Wine Country spans 22 counties and every winery is within an afternoon’s drive from Dallas/Forth Worth Metroplex. Find the inspiration that fits your mood.
