February Wine Trail

Texas Bluebonnet Wineries

February 1 - 29

The February Wine Trail offers a delightful opportunity to celebrate Valentine's Day and embark on a romantic tour of local Texas wineries. From February 1 to 29, 2024, individuals are invited to immerse themselves in the picturesque Texas countryside, explore nearby wineries, and discover award-winning wines. Participants can savor the diverse offerings of Texas Wine Country at their own pace, visiting wineries during their regular tasting room hours.

The February Trail Passport event, which will soon have tickets available for purchase, allows participants to enjoy three wine tastings at the premier wineries of Southeast Texas. At each winery, the tastings consist of three 1.5oz pours of select or featured wines, providing an opportunity to sample and appreciate the flavors and craftsmanship of the region. It's important to note that the operating hours of the Wine Trail are based on the regular business hours of each participating winery, so it is advisable to check the individual winery websites for specific hours when planning your visit.

To participate in the Wine Trail, tickets must be purchased online and presented (electronically or in print) at each winery for scanning, which enables the recipient to receive the three wine tastings. It's worth mentioning that tickets are non-refundable. If you plan to visit as a group of 8 or more, it is recommended to contact each winery in advance to ensure a seamless experience.

The wineries of the Texas Bluebonnet Wine Trail prioritize responsible drinking and encourage participants to designate a driver. In accordance with TABC regulations, individuals who appear to be intoxicated will not be served and may be requested to leave the premises. This ensures the safety and enjoyment of all visitors.

Overall, the February Wine Trail offers an enchanting opportunity to celebrate Valentine's Day and explore the beauty of Texas Wine Country. By indulging in the local wines and experiencing the warm hospitality of the wineries, participants can create lasting memories in this romantic setting.
