THE TEXAS

The culture in the Growler Lounge is not like your traditional winery atmosphere where guests are standing around a central bar - the service we provide is seated by design, so that we can shape a customer’s experience that extends beyond the wine, to build relationships and community. Guests will be able to experience a thorough and insightful tasting experience with unmatched friendly customer service.

The wines and times never get boring here – there’s always a new wine to share and a new story to tell.

And because we stay open late Thursday through Sunday (9 pm on Friday and Saturday), you can plan a full day of tasting, and at the end, come back to Vinovium and find a friendly and comfortable place to be – Nacho our resident S R PA SPORT OU hound will greet you, and all will be good.

H GI E RE ON Y IN

Located just 6 miles west of Johnson City on the north side of the road, you’ll find the Growler Lounge – the tasting room at Vinovium. There, you’ll find Central Texas’ largest selection of wines on tap, classic and proprietary wine cocktails, a rotating Coravin list of hard to find and older vintage Texas wines, local cider and an expansive espresso list.

COUNTRY LL W

inovium (Latin for “wine road”) is a Texas négociant and winery founded in 2012 that provides merchant services for the Texas wine industry, which allows us to offer an entirely unique Texas Hill Country experience for visitors. We source and keg limited availability Texas wines, in addition to domestic and international wines we find compelling that demonstrate both regional character and deliver great quality and value.

WINEMAKING

FATHER AND SON PERFECTING THE ART

N

ow in his 38th year of growing grapes in Texas, Dan Gatlin has steadily perfected the complex process of producing Texas' finest wines from 100% Texas fruit. His son, Spencer Gatlin, has added his 7 years of experience to their team, and promises to extend their legacy to the next generation.

Inwood Estates, named as one of the “101 Best Wineries in America” for the third year in a row by the Daily Meal, NY, out of 9000 American wineries, is now available for visitation in Fredericksburg at their newest location 11 miles east on Highway 290.

After their legendary planting of Tempranillo in the Texas High Plains 17 years ago, Inwood has become synonymous with America's highest quality Tempranillo wines, both varietals and blends. Today, however, they are extending their most exciting work into Cabernet, Bordeaux Blends, Bordeaux varietals and Chardonnay.

Much of this very promising fruit production is taking place locally in Gillespie County, just outside of Fredericksburg.

The local facility offers a variety of winery experiences ranging from casual to highly advanced level classes/tastings for the most demanding oenophile and professional. Some available Tasting Options are listed below: The “Super-Flight”: Inwood’s Top Wines ($200+) versus Spain's Top Wines ($200+) Wines produced at the Ultra-Low 0.29 tons per acre The “Taste with The Winemaker” An In-Depth Look at Cutting-Edge Research and Tasting Wines produced mostly at 1.5 tons per acre The Classic “Reserve Tasting” A Review of Inwood's Popular $50 - $100 lineup Wines produced at 3 tons compared to some at 1.5 tons per acre If you come hungry, you can enjoy in-house food service prepared in our Bistro on site. The Bistro serves slow-cooked pulled pork and slow-smoked beef sausage plates, along with gourmet salads, meat and cheese boards, and the famous Smokehouse Board.

Reminder: When in Dallas, please call and stop by the Dallas winery where you can visit Spencer for a great tasting and personalized wine discussions.

Don’t miss out on one of the best kept secrets in the Hill Country, Texas Hills Vineyard.

estled in a valley of the Texas Hill Country along the pristine Sabinal River, the Lost Maples Winery in Vanderpool is a destination all its own. The boutique winery caters specifically to those who love the outdoors and seek an intimate tasting experience. The winery is just a few miles from the acclaimed Lost Maples State Natural Area, and less than an hour-and-a-half from Fredericksburg.

Visitors can spend the day sipping wine in the shade of oak trees, enjoying a picnic amongst the vines, or visiting with the winemakers in our tasting room. Native Texans Tom and Glenda Slaughter have created this unique experience on land that has been in their family since before Texas became a state. Glenda and “Texas� Tom started the vineyards in 2006 after successful careers in Houston. Tom is a musician and played with Mickey Gilley and ZZ Top during his career.

The winemakers put their talents to work every day in crafting wonderful wines ranging from complex reds to crisp, refreshing whites - and each comes with a unique story. The winery is in the Lost Maples Region, which is known for spectacular scenery, unspoiled rivers and breathtaking drives that are unmatched anywhere else in the state.

to the iconic wildflower fields of Wildseed Farms in Fredericksburg, Wedding Oak Winery’s Texas roots do indeed run deep. Named for the historic, 400 year-old matrimonial oak tree near our winery in San Saba, we planted our first estate vineyards in 2000, focusing on varietals and blends that love the red clay loam and limestone pan terroir.

After opening our 10,000 case San Saba production facility and tasting room in June 2012, Texas wine travelers began to discover the charm and hospitality of small-town Texas, while

expanding our vineyard plantings in the Hill Country, beginning in 2015 with the first acreage of wine grapes planted at Wildseed Farms. Additional plantings up to 35 acres will go into the ground in 2016-2018, pushing more deep roots into the incredible soils of the Pedernales River basin.

In the spring of 2016, Wedding Oak Winery at Wildseed Farms opened its doors with wine experiences that are intertwined with the glory of bluebonnets, poppies, Mexican hat and other portrait-quality wildflowers.

The first harvest ended in an old-fashioned grape stomp with friends and family, making for a memorable summer night in our back yard. A decade of careful craftsmanship and a desire to share wine with new friends resulted in the creation of Narrow Path Winery.

We are committed to producing exceptional wines that make you want to sit and savor. All wines are small batch (under 200 cases) featuring fruit from our estate vineyard along with grapes from select Texas vineyards.

planted cotton and corn. We grow grapes. In 1995 Larry and Jeanine Kuhlken planted their first vines in the Texas Hill Country. They picked the site specifically for its soils of caliche and rich red sandstone. We continue to farm these soils sustainably in order to pass them on as a legacy to the seventh generation.

In 2011, we founded our sister winery, Armadillo’s Leap, to experiment with New World style, fruit-forward wines perfect for everyday sipping. Both wineries have been recognized at International Wine Competitions with Gold and Double Gold medals.

When you visit our wineries, our well-educated staff will lead you through a tasting designed to cultivate your appreciation for Texas wine. At our tasting rooms, you can sit back, relax and drink in the beauty of Texas culture and landscape.

WHERE GREAT HIll Country cuisine meets barrels of Texas wine

R

emember the last time a work of art caught you off guard and you were in awe?

Or the last time you heard a song and just could not quit singing it to yourself long after you first heard it?

If you are coming to the Hill Country and are hungry for an amazing meal, then it is time to prepare yourself for another lasting memory -- the memory of the best meal you have had in forever.

Executive Chef Ross Burtwell, and his wife Marianna, have one of the top restaurants in the United States for a reason. Though they have traveled the world educating themselves through culinary and wine training, what they bring back with them each time to Cabernet Grill are new ways to delight local palates with foods that come from Texas and are inspired by Texas culture.

The menu will astound you. On it you will find culinary masterpieces like Green Chile & Crab Stuffed Texas Shrimp with Mango Honey Slaw, Pecan Pan Seared Rainbow Trout, and, of course, always a perfect Texas wine pairing.

If you love a great steak be sure to try a juicy 12 ounce ribeye steak with a high plains Tempranillo, or if you are an adventurer, why not order up the mouthwatering Bacon Wrapped Hill Country

Quail with a super Texas Sangiovese?

At Cabernet Grill their passion for cooking, attention to each detail, extensive knowledge of Texas wines, and their ability to pair great food with true Texas hospitality sets them apart, not only locally, but nationally.

We invite you to join them for an evening soon and enjoy a meal you will remember for years to come.

For reservations, please call (830) 990-5734.

BOOT RANCH

The Finest Private Club Community in Texas is found in the heart of the Hill Country.

The famed Hill Country is a very special place. People have long been attracted to its rustic enchantments, breathtaking vistas, and some of the best year-round temperatures in all of Texas. Here you’ll discover an

idyllic respite from the bustle of big-city life, just five

miles north of historic Fredericksburg. It is where true hospitality can still be found, traditions are cherished, and authenticity is revered.

Boot Ranch is an artful expression of luxurious Texas ranch-style living where family and friends reconnect and enjoy five-star service. Club amenities include a top-rated Hal Sutton Signature golf course and 34-acre practice park (the largest in Texas), a 55,000 square foot Clubhouse Village, and extraordinary dining experiences. The Ranch Club features three

heated pools and Jacuzzi, an open-air bar and grill, and lighted tennis and athletic courts. A new 2.5-mile trail leads to Longhorn Lake with kayaks and paddleboards, amazing tree houses, a swim beach and jumping platforms. Members can also partake in trap and skeet shooting, spa services and a full menu of special events.

A multi-generational club membership valued at $100,000 is included in all property purchases. Real estate opportunities start at $300,000 and include custom homesites from one-half to 18 acres, shared-ownership Sunday Houses, luxury Village Home condominium residences, and customizable home plans. While you’re in the Fredericksburg area, schedule a private property tour of Boot Ranch.

Whether you’re looking for a second home or a full-time residence, Boot Ranch offers exceptional choices. It’s the best place in Texas to hang your hat and lift your spirits.
