Ticket prices are $60 per couple and $35 per person and good for Friday-Sunday of both weekends…That is SIX whole days to complete your wine trail journey!
As the wine trail should be, it’s all about the wine, each winery visit will include a minimum of 1 and up to 3 complimentary tastes of wine and a 15% discount on custom 3 bottle purchases. Taste, enjoy, choose your favorites and take them home! You will also have the option to add to your wine experience by printing off the down-loadable Label Collection Book from your confirmation email. Print this book, visit the wineries, take notes and collect labels or memorabilia from each winery as a great keepsake from your Harvest Trail trip.
We all love a little food with our wine…and what could be better than local offerings chosen by locals? Each winery has chosen a great local food company to partner with during the Harvest Wine Trail and will be offering perfection in wine and food pairing. Imagine the local favorites we’ve come to crave, including Bistro Blends, fresh fare cultivated from our winery gardens and Dutchman’s cheese, paired with award wining wines. (Please see event details to discover each wineries partner and offering).
Are you a great photographer? Do you take hundreds of photos on your trips? Want to share them with all Texas wine lovers and get rewarded? Of course you do!! New to the Harvest Trail each winery will offer a unique photo opportunity showcase for you to capture that perfect picture at all 26 wineries. After you catch that ‘just-right-pose’ at the wine bar, in the vineyard, in front of barrels or the grape stomping action shot, just download and send direct to us for the Photo Contest. Categories include: Wine Trail Troopers (most creative photo), Wine Lovers (any TWO people) and Viticulture Vagabonds (ex: Grape Stomps, vineyard or wine barrel shots. Not all wineries offer a grape stomp, a list of THCW grape stomps will be posted to event details below). Each category will include a Grand Prize of a Wine Country Getaway Package (lodging, dining and private tasting), 1st and 2nd runner up of upcoming 2011 upcoming Wine Trail tickets. (Always a sellout!) All entries will be reviewed by THCW Committee and narrowed down to semi-finals. Finals will be voted on by public vote on THCW website.
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-six 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 however.
Enjoy the festivities, taste your favorites, enjoy exclusive discounts and take home the memories of harvest in the Texas Hill Country.
