Did you know that you don’t have to head all the way to Fredericksburg to enjoy a true Texas Wine Country experience?! Chapelton Vineyards brings it much closer to home. Located just about an hour from Houston near Washington, TX, this picturesque estate is the perfect spot for a weekend getaway or an easy day trip.

Chapelton Vineyards has quickly made a name for itself, with wines featured in more than 40 Houston restaurants and hotels, as well as on shelves at Central Market and Total Wine. But nothing compares to sipping it right at the source! The property is stunning, with rolling hills, rows of grapevines, and elegant tasting spaces.

You can enjoy guided tastings of both estate-grown Texas varietals and globally sourced blends, paired with charcuterie boards or light bites from their kitchen. For those who like a bit of behind-the-scenes insight, they also offer tours of their winery and barrel room, a fun, relaxed way to learn more about winemaking while you sip.

And if you’re not ready to head back to the city after your tasting, Chapelton has a a couple of luxurious on-site villas. Each one overlooks the vineyards, making it easy to wake up to sweeping views of the countryside with a glass of wine in hand.

Definitely plan a visit here if you're looking to have a romantic weekend getaway, a girls’ trip, or just a scenic afternoon sipping on wine!
