Dry Comal Creek Vineyards

You don’t have to go far to start your wine day. Just a few miles outside New Braunfels off Highway 46, Dry Comal Creek Vineyards sits tucked behind rows of vines in a small, protected valley. Weekends bring live music and dining, with both shaded outdoor and indoor seating. It is a relaxed, easygoing first stop that sets the tone for the rest of the weekend.

Bending Branch Winery

Follow a winding country road into the hills around Comfort, and you will find the estate tasting room at Bending Branch Winery, where the views stretch for miles. Known as the “Tannat House of Texas,” this winery is a favorite for groups who want award-winning wine with a view to match. Planning a Saturday visit? Weekend reservations are strongly recommended, so be sure to book ahead for your crew.

Heath Sparkling Wines

What is a bachelorette party without a little bubbly? As the first winery in Texas dedicated entirely to sparkling wine, Heath Sparkling Wines pairs its tastings with seasonal, chef-prepared small bites. The modern, architecturally stunning tasting room makes the perfect backdrop for toasting the bride-to-be. Inside areas are 21+, which makes it an easy fit for a girls’ day out.

Kuhlman Cellars

If your group loves a good charcuterie moment, put Kuhlman Cellars on your list. Located right on the famous Highway 290 wine trail between Fredericksburg and Johnson City, Kuhlman offers an intimate 45-minute seated tasting complete with chef-prepared bites. Between pours, head out to the Winegarden or the patio overlooking the vineyard for plenty of photo ops.

Pedernales Cellars

For sweeping Hill Country scenery, it is hard to beat Pedernales Cellars, often called “the winery with a view.” Its 154 acres of rolling hills and live oaks overlook the Pedernales River Valley, and the tree-covered deck is the perfect spot to settle in with a glass. Saturday visits are by reservation only, so plan accordingly if you are going on the weekend.

Messina Hof Hill Country

Messina Hof goes above and beyond for celebrations. At its Fredericksburg winery, the Heritage Room offers an intimate space made for bridals and bachelorettes, while the patios and grounds can host larger groups with Hill Country views all around. If you want a private spot to pop champagne and open gifts, this is the place to do it.

Tips for Planning Your Wine Day

The Hill Country is home to dozens of wineries, so it is tempting to try to see them all. If you are driving, stick to no more than two wineries in a day, or book a winery tour instead. Many local tour companies offer bachelorette packages with transportation, so everyone can sip, relax, and leave the driving to someone else. Wineries often have group size limits too, so call ahead or reserve early, especially on weekends.
