Deep in the heart of Texas, (north of San Antonio and west of Austin), oenophiles can find the state's largest wine trail, which is home to over 30 wineries. Texas Wine Tours offers two options for thirsty visitors; its flagship tour is a full-day affair that visits some of the area's best wineries. However, those who don't want to dedicate a full day to a wine adventure should consider the company's shorter, four-hour tour. We also recommend visiting Lost Maples Winery at Polvadeau Vineyards, where you can enjoy a tasting of 12 wines for just $16. Afterwards, buy a bottle and lounge by the pond as you take in the pristine views of the surrounding hill country.
