Did you know Texas ranks as one of the top ten wine producing states in the country, boasting 204 wineries that, together, yield over 1 million gallons of wine?
Not only is wine a great source of export and import for our great nation, but it’s also a healthful beverage! It’s tasty and heart healthy! Wine helps prevent clots and reduce blood vessel inflammation, both of which have been linked to cognitive decline and heart disease.
We’re lucky to live in a state where wine flows abundantly, and where residents can celebrate just how amazing this libation is. Now you have the chance to experience delicious wine, great food and beautiful Texas scenery at these upcoming Wine Festivals all within 3 hours of San Antonio.
