WINE escapes
55 Texas Hill Country wineries uncork month of tastings and deals
The Texas Hill Country Wineries Wine Lovers Celebration covers 55 wineries.
Texas winemakers are hoping to play cupid ahead of Valentine’s Day. From January 26 to February 27, more than 55 Hill Country wineries are teaming up to offer complimentary tastings and deals via the Texas Hill Country Wineries Wine Lovers Celebration, a perfect excuse for a romantic retreat.
The passport program — which is repeated throughout the year for different occasions like Texas Wine Month and wildflower season — encourages visitors to try new wineries and explore the thriving Hill County wine region. The pass covers a complimentary tasting at each venue for up to four visits a day, adding a 10 percent discount on purchases of at least three bottles.
The passport is organized by Texas Hill Country Wineries, a nonprofit trade association that promotes its member vineyards and the overall winemaking regions. The organization has a busy 2025 launching resources for budding oenophiles, from an interactive regional guide to a daylong wine camp.
The organization also helps build a future for the Texas wine industry by providing scholarships. $5 from each passport sold will go toward helping Texas students get degrees in viticulture, enology, or hospitality.
Tickets are available for $65 per person or $100 per couple. The release calculates that the passport starts representing savings on tastings after just five visits.
