Wineries near New Braunfels
The first stop beginning your New Braunfels wine tours should be the Dry Comal Creek Vineyard just outside New Braunfels. This winery is run by Frank Houser and the tasting room is open seven days a week from noon until five pm. I recommend trying the 2006 Black Spanish Reserve. This wine won a silver medal this year and has is a dry dark red with a smooth, rich mellow style. Perfect for after dinner or with a hearty meal.
Next stop on the New Braunfels wine tours should be Sister Creek Vineyard. This winery was once an old cotton gin that has since been converted and updated. Sister Creek offers several types of wine including Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as Muscat Canelli. I recommend trying the Merlot. Aged thirteen months in oak barrels this lightly filtered wine has hints of smoke, blackberries, black cherry, and vanilla to create a pleasant and comforting wine.
Continuing the New Braunfels wine tours brings you to Becker Vineyards where you can sample a real southwestern treat, the Texas Viognier. This wine has white peach and floral scents with tangerine mango flavors and goes well with bisques, grilled pork and Asian cuisine. This wine is perfect for any Texas style barbeque. It is big, bold and completely unique.
The last stop on your whirlwind tour of New Braunfels wine country should be Grape Creek Vineyards. This winery is an exceptional respresentation of what makes Texas wineries great. Built in the Tuscan style, the winery boasts open patios for lunch and dinner with views of rolling landscape and the vineyards themselves. Transport yourself to a whole other world and sit back and enjoy what this vineyard has to offer. I recommend the gold medal winning Chardonnay.
Well, hopefully this article has helped you plan your New Braunfels wine tours today and in the future, now get out there and get tasting!
