So your girl had to take some time off and settle into back to school, Thing 2\u2019s surgery, not to mention all of the projects on my desk at the office (all that #LawyerLife stuff). Hence, no September roundup of events in Texas Wine Country. But given that October is Texas Wine Month, I most certainly had to share some of the great events that will be happening to celebrate our great wine region. Even better that the temps have cooled off some, which makes it a fabulous time to visit. I was so over the 100+ degree days and sometimes wondered if I\u2019d moved to the dessert southwest and wasn\u2019t aware. At any rate, get out there and support our Texas winemakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solar Eclipse Events<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the next year, the Texas Hill Country will be the epicenter for 2 amazing\u00a0astronomical experiences and there are tons of events at the wineries. Like how cool is this?! On Saturday October 14, 2023, we will experience an annular solar eclipse known as the “Ring of Fire” where the moon covers most of the sun, leaving only a brilliant ring-like corona visible around the edges. I love Thing 1, but I am bummed that she has a whole homecoming thing that weekend. Like, shouldn\u2019t they postpone HoCo?! But what a way to celebrate Texas Wine Month and the eclipse all in one. These are just an handful of the events that are going on. There is no shortage of winery lawns provide that will proved a great viewing area! So take advantage and enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And on Monday April 8, 2024, we will experience a very rare total solar eclipse. This is such a huge event for the Texas Hill Country and lots places are planning events for these experiences. Many hotels and Airbnbs are already fully booked for these events, so if you plan on coming to experience these rare occurrences, you need to plan far in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
