NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas — Two of my favorite things are wine and live music. Imagine my excitement when I found Dry Comal Creek Vineyards featured both.
Situated in New Braunfels, a picturesque town a little over two hours from The Great Place, the vineyard’s name is derived from the creek that feeds the Comal River and runs through the area.
Black Spanish grapes, which grow well in the dry creek beds in the area, hang from vines that span the vineyard and greet visitors at the front of the winery.
The entrance of the quaint space evokes a rustic country vibe, and the atmosphere at the back of the venue was spacious and welcoming.
The cozy interior echoed the country chic feel of the exterior and displayed many of the 100% Texas-made wines available by the glass or bottle.
Guests can enjoy a variety of wines ranging from dry to sweet, consisting of crisp Rieslings, light whites and rich reds.
It took a minute to choose, but I opted for a glass of the Wurst Red, a semi-sweet vino said to pair well with cheese and dark chocolate.
A small bar welcomes guests and a few tables and chairs are available for wine enthusiasts to sit and sip. But like myself, most patrons preferred to venture outdoors.
Just outside is an airy covered patio sitting adjacent to a sprawling outdoor space with lights hung throughout mature trees that dot the lawn.
I imagined the space after nightfall with a faint glow, and I considered staying a bit longer just to see for myself.
Adirondack chairs surround fire pits and low tables that beckon guests to make themselves at home.
Remembering my vino paired well with cheese, I took that as my cue to order a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich from the food truck parked on site to test the theory (it was an amazing combination).
As I made myself comfortable in one of the Adirondack chairs, I was pleasantly surprised to see an artist preparing to play a set on his guitar.
Perched on a stool under a shade kit stretched between trees, the artist performed a combination of old school classics and current trendy tunes, creating a relaxing atmosphere I thoroughly enjoyed.
Weekly events showcasing live music from different artists are just one of the features that make the vineyard unique.
It is one of the only wineries I’ve visited that caters to the more mature crowd with a strict 21-and-over adults-only policy.
The vineyard also features tastings that include five wines for $25 per person. Each tasting lasts 45 minutes to an hour and features a light-hearted narrative from the tasting ambassadors.
Reservations are encouraged, but tasting walk-ins are accommodated if space permits. Groups are limited to no more than six participants.
Good food, great wine and an inviting atmosphere equaled one amazing experience I look forward to having again.
