Our hands are tied!! Due to Texas law, any alcohol consumed on a charter bus must be supplied by you. This gives you the opportunity to try Texas wines prior to the your tour, and to bring a “Lone Star Wine Find” to share with everyone. The remaining wine bottles at the end of the tour will be taken by one lucky person home after the tour. Please refer to the Typical Wine Tour page for more tour details.

On this page we will list local merchants you can visit to purchase Texas wines. Where you can talk to a wine representative by name, becoming familiar personally with someone who knows wine and is privy to Texas Grape & Green Tours. Just show the staff our suggested list of wines preferred for the tour. But, if you have a favorite, bring it and share it!

Most wine merchants offer you the same bottle of wine at or below the price you’ll pay at most chain grocery store (plus a much larger selection available to choose from). They will walk you through the wines that fit both your taste and budget. Wine merchants are wine enthusiasts who want to answer your questions. Most taste wine on a daily basis, a tough occupation indeed, keeping their palates and knowledge ready for your questions. There are but a few retail outlets left that rely on forming relationships with their customers.
