William Chris Vineyards

"This Hye winery is one of the proponents of Texas’s newer age of wines. The Hill Country spot focuses on Texas grapes, resulting in thoughtful wines like the fizzy fun pet-nat as well as reds, whites, and rosés. There are various tasting formats within the beautiful sprawling property, including the vineyard table and the picnic lunch, both of which comes with food. Book reservations online; there are indoor and outdoor areas." - Nadia Chaudhury

"The lauded Hill Country winery is teaming up with the Austin-based restaurant group behind Southern restaurant Olamaie for its eclipse event. On deck are wine barrel tastings, astronomy sessions, live country music concerts, and breakfast and lunch courtesy of MaieB’s forthcoming Fredericksburg spot the Albert Hotel. The latter includes Little Ola’s biscuits, pork chops, and Texas chocolate sheet cake. The tickets come with parking, glasses, a poster, a picnic blanket, and a bag with two bottles of its special eclipse wines." - Nadia Chaudhury
