Texas Stagecoach Wine Trail Election Weekend
Turn off the cable news pundits and celebrate election weekend by exploring the wineries of central Texas!
As a holder of a Stagecoach Wine Trail ticket you will have the opportunity to taste 3 complimentary wines at 10 central Texas wineries. Business hours vary among wineries so please verify their business hours as you plan your route.
You may check in at one of many wineries in order to receive your Texas Stagecoach Wine Trail commemorative glass. You choose which winery to start at when you purchase your ticket You gotta stick with this choice because wineglasses don’t move through the interwebs and they are prepositioned the week prior to the event!
Follow our event on our facebook event page. We will be posting special offers from area lodging facilities, dining establishments and recommended tour companies.
At each winery, there will be plenty of opportunities to purchase additional wine tastings, and buy cool souvenirs, so bring your wallet. You must present your tickets to receive your tastings at each winery. Your tickets can be shown from your smartphone via email or using the Eventbrite app. Also, you need valid photo ID if you plan to consume alcohol.
Stay tuned…the committee is working out the details for a contest. Last trail event a wine basket was awarded to a lucky participant who had checked in at each winery using #TxStagecoachWineTrail & #TxWine
If you have a group larger than 8, you MUST contact the wineries before your visit to let them know you are coming and when you will be arriving at least 24 hours in advance
And ….ABSOLUTELY NO alcoholic beverages allowed unless it is the wine that we sold you.
FAQ’s
Are children allowed? Yes, but they must be accompanied and supervised!
Can I bring my dog? Sure! Please keep the dogs on a leash though, some wineries have cats!
What’s the refund policy? Tickets are refundable up to 7 days before the event starts. Wineries are not responsible for lost or stolen tickets. Tickets cannot be exchanged for another event, but you may transfer your tickets to someone else.
Can I change my glass pick up location? If tickets are still available then they are transferable through Eventbrite. Once the available tickets show 0 then that means there are no more glasses at that location to be picked up.
What about transportation? This is designed to be a self-guided tour. Please use designated drivers. Check our Facebook event page for local transportation companies.
Are wine glasses included at each winery? No, you should use your commemorative trail glass. If you break or lose the glass, then each winery has glassware to use in order to provide your tasting. Please do not take their glasses without permission.
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event? You must be 21 to taste wine and you MUST show a valid ID. If you buy tickets online and then show up with no ID to prove you’re 21, we will not provide a tasting glass, wine or refunds. Please remember your ID!

Easter Ostrich Egg Decorating 2019
Please join us for the ultimate Easter keepsake and Salado wine tradition!
Buy your tickets today to decorate ostrich eggs at the Salado Winery for Easter. These ostrich eggs are keepsakes and people tend to come up with some fun conversations over wine. It’s pretty awesome.
When you join us, you’ll receive a cleaned ostrich egg. The large eggs must be prepared ahead of time by scrubbing them with vinegar and a toothbrush. June is a real diva about the whole thing, which is why we have to charge you so much. Ticket also includes decorations, paint, egg dye, and naturally, a glass of wine included from Salado Winery Company & Salado Wine Seller. You will be able to take your wine glass home as a keepsake, as well.
Three times available:
Sunday, April 14, 12-2 pm
Sunday, April 14, 2:30-4:30 pm
Thursday, April 18, 6:30-8:30 pm
Cost is $45 per person. There will be wine since it is a winery, so it’s up to each parent as to whether it is “kid-friendly”, but certainly there may be a kid there and prices are not discounted for kids. Unfortunately the ostrich egg farmer didn’t sell us discounted eggs for your awesome artist kid.
PLEASE brainstorm before you come. Look up your favorite designs on Pinterest or think about a milestone of that year. Bring some of your own decorations, if you’d like. Classes will be lead by our favorite art instructor, Angela Patrick.
Must be 21 to consume alcohol. Please bring your government issued ID to prove your age.
Tickets are now on sale on eventbrite. Invite your friends on our facebook event.
Art Reception for Patty Thomas
“After all the negative that has become so much a part of our world, I hope you will look at my paintings, and let them remind you of good times and special places of the heart. Perhaps you will recall driving along a dirt road headed for your grandparents home or maybe just a family camp out by the river. Or you may simply remember sitting on the porch, watching a sunset, or even a rainstorm approaching as evening begins. Hopefully, at the end of a long day, a look at your painting reminds you once more of God’s creation and the sheer wonder of it all. And you are made glad”.–Patty Thomas
Art opening reception will be Saturday, April 6, 2-6 pm
Ms. Thomas’s work will be on display until 5/5/2019. Contact Ms. Thomas at https://pattythomasfineart.com/
