Spectacular hill country views, natural wines, and friendly hosts























"The very good Hill Country winery announced it was closing its doors in late August so that the owners could move to France to take over a winery there." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Essential Texas winery Southold Farm + Cellar closed its restaurant after just over seven months of service in Fredericksburg. The Kitchen at Southold Farm + Cellar officially closed in early October." - Nadia Chaudhury

"A smart stop for natural wine fans, New York transplant Southold Farm + Cellar has gotten the attention of wine hipsters with unconventional blends and a noninterventionist philosophy. Earlier this year, the winery added a seasonal prix fixe restaurant with dishes like gnocchi and smoked eggplant." - Tom Thornton

"The Kitchen at Southold F+C serves unpretentious farm-to-table fare, with a New American menu that includes dishes like bacon steak and mussels in a Thai coconut broth. The restaurant also features Southold wines and their first-ever beer, and is built next to the original tasting room." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Jeremy Murray was impressed by Southhold Farm & Cellar's Piquette and also suggests Still Austin Whiskey Co.’s straight bourbon for its quality and local sourcing." - Nadia Chaudhury
