Grape Creek Vineyards, Fredericksburg, Texas

Grape Creek Vineyards offers a Tuscan wine experience without an international flight. Book a tram ride around the estate, and step into the cellar where the barrels of wine are stored for aging. Then have a private tasting of its dry reds, or pop over to its companion winery dedicated to sparkling wines. Afterward, post up in the restaurant, where floor-to-ceiling windows look out over the vineyard.
