Happy Trails! The Texas 290 Wine Trail

The Texas Hill Country Wine Trail is the second most visited wine production region in the U.S.  – right behind the Napa and Sonoma Valleys. Start at Spec’s to sample the best of the region and pick your stops on this stay-cation destination. For local enthusiasts, a trip to the Hill Country offers a more accessible experience of wine growing and production.

Savvy Texas wineries throughout the state have been building tasting rooms on the 290 Wine Trail. They are growing quality varietals that thrive in the unique Texas terroir and producing wines that truly show what Texas has to offer.

These wineries know that many wine lovers associate Texas wine with the Hill Country. Additionally, the large European community in this area offers food and well as arts and crafts from their home countries, so visitors can feel like they’ve gone on vacation without leaving the state. If you just can’t get away, Spec’s has these terrific Texas wines and a stunning selection of European imports. You can still tour the trail without leaving your living room!
