A true hidden gem that literally rests on a hilltop in between San Antonio and Austin, Driftwood Estates Winery has been in the local wine business since the vineyard was first planted in 1998. This property is absolutely incredible!

It’s harvest time at Texas wineries, and one Hill Country vineyard celebrated with a tradition that dates back to the Incas. At the La Cruz del Comal winery just west of New Braunfels, the harvesting of the grapes started at sunrise.
