Have Jewelry, Will Travel: Robin's recommendations for a weekend of wine in the Texas Hill Country
When you're ready to rest, recharge, and reset, look no further than the Texas Hill Country for a laid-back, yet curated, weekend getaway. Just a short drive outside of Austin, Texas these wineries are where we turn to for high-quality wine, natural, yet well-designed environments, and a little rest and relaxation. As always, we believe you shouldn't simply travel, but travel in style. That's why we've created a Texas Hill Country weekend getaway look, in collaboration with ByGeorge, to inspire your jewelry adventures.
William Chris Vineyards
William Chris is a 100% Texas-grown winery located on a historical homestead featuring an original 1905 farmhouse and scenic views. They’re dedicated to putting Texas on the map as a true wine region and place an emphasis on authenticity, as well as staying true to their Texas roots. Make a trip out to Hye for some well-deserved relaxation. Wear something reminiscent of Texas wildflowers and feel right at home in William Chris’ beautiful, natural surroundings.
Augusta Vin Estate Winery
Is there a Texas town more quaint and charming than Fredericksburg? Just over an hour outside of Austin, Fredericksburg is an easy, romantic weekend getaway. Book a BnB, take a day to shop, and stroll Main Street, where original 18th-century buildings still stand, then venture out a bit to Augusta Vin Estate Winery. The stunning architecture will make you feel like you’re sipping wine in a modern cathedral, and the beautiful scenery will keep you oo-ing and ahh-ing all day. Wear something bright and sophisticated, but not stuffy.
Signor Vineyards
Continue your Fredericksburg weekend with a stop at Signor Vineyards. Taste their award-winning wine, explore the French country gardens, and do some farmhouse shopping at Joanna’s Market. Reconnect with nature on their 200-acre, sprawling property — The Signor family has a deep-rooted history in Texas landscaping, with grandfather Teas touting notability as a nationally-prominent horticulturist and the founder of Teas Nursery. Bring the kids, your sweetheart, and your four-legged friends for a day full of charm in the hill country. Wear something layered, cool, and breezy.
