New for 2026: A Hill Country sip-and-stroll just minutes from the Ranch
We’re teaming up with our friends at Turtle Creek Vineyard for two small-group wine tasting outings on Thursday, June 4. Just a few miles from Quiet Valley Ranch, this Kerr County vineyard is a family-owned, sustainably minded operation rooted in hands-on farming and thoughtful winemaking.
The property also serves as their private working farm, home to lambs, produce gardens, peaches, pecans, and chickens. The grounds are truly stunning, rolling Hill Country views, vineyard rows, and plenty of shade to linger awhile.
Guests will be shuttled to and from the property in one of our artist transportation vans, making it an easy off-site adventure. And yes, the tasting room is fully air-conditioned, offering a welcome escape from the Texas heat on Day 15 of the Festival.
