Venture into the rolling Texas Hill Country for a private ranch and boutique winery experience — horseback riding through cedar and live oak, followed by an estate barrel tasting of award-winning Texas wines under a limestone-canopy sky.
What to expect
A private driver whisks your group 90 minutes west into the rugged beauty of the Fredericksburg wine corridor, where Becker Vineyards' lavender-fringed estate sits beneath an enormous 19th-century stone barn. A knowledgeable vintner guides you through barrel samples of their acclaimed Viognier and Cabernet Sauvignon, paired with local artisan charcuterie and Texas cheeses. Combine the visit with a morning horseback ride on an adjacent working ranch for the quintessential Hill Country double bill. The landscape — all wildflowers, limestone ridges, and vast sky — is sublime.
Good to know
Book private tastings directly at beckervineyards.com well in advance, especially during spring wildflower season (March–April). Arrange round-trip private ground transport from San Antonio (approx. 90 minutes each way) — factor this carefully against your all-aboard time. Best as a full-day commitment.
