Texas Hill Country

The largest AVA in Texas and third largest in the U.S., spanning 9 million acres.


Its diverse landscapes—limestone bluffs, granite hills, rocky soils, and elevations up to 2,200 feet—support a wide range of grapes inspired by both Old and New World styles.

Mediterranean varieties like Tempranillo, Mourvèdre, Viognier, and Syrah thrive here, producing wines with ripe fruit, bright acidity, and a mineral edge. Since its 1991 designation, the region has grown into a vibrant wine destination with over 100 wineries and tasting rooms.
