BRENHAM , TEXAS
Halfway between Houston and austin lies a tasty secret .
brenham , affectionately known for many things starting with the letter b , has long been thought of a day-trip destination to see bluebonnets or to get a scoop of blue bell ice cream . these days , many more are finding its rolling hills the perfect backdrop for delicious food and wine .
brenham is making a name for itself in the wine industry with delightful wineries that dot the countryside surrounding brenham in all four directions . award-winning wines made from texas grapes , comfortable tasting decks overlooking the green rolling hills , and the sound of nature in the background – this is what makes a wine tour around brenham so special .
unique flavors like prickly pear and jalapeno , plus long-time favorites like blanc du bois and cabernet , make for an unforgettable wine tour . saddlehorn winery is open daily , while texas star , windy and Pleasant Hill wineries are open on weekends . in the summer , the latter two even offer guests the fun opportunity to stomp grapes , just like lucy and ethel !
Visitors and locals happily find soup & sandwiches with mile-high meringue pies for dessert at Must be Heaven , and exquisite flavors blended together in charmingly named menu items at funky art café ( and yes , they actually do have funky art ).
Don ’ t pie . forget yummy the
