The experience

The day starts at Texas Wine Collective, where three winemakers (Brennan Vineyards, Lost Oak Winery, and McPherson Cellars) collaborate under one roof. You taste a rare, off-menu wine created specifically for 290TX Tours guests, something you won't find on other tours or if you visit solo. The tasting happens against vineyard views, and the van stays cool and comfortable between stops.

Fifteen minutes later you arrive at Featherstone Ranch Vineyards in Stonewall for the heart of the day. A premium tasting walks you through 100% Texas-crafted wines, then lunch arrives: artisanal pizzas made to order, paired with wines chosen for the meal. The panoramic Hill Country views frame the whole thing. A custom snack basket travels with you between stops, and chilled water stays within reach.

The tour ends at Arch Ray Resort, where you choose your own tasting (wine, beer flight, or spirits flight) each one curated for 290TX Tours guests. The estate is serene and unhurried, and the group photo at the end gives you something to take home. A live English-speaking guide leads the whole experience, and the 11-passenger Mercedes Sprinter van means you can stand up inside and move around comfortably.
