In-Depth Information
→ Locate the vineyard so that during the main part of the growing season it gets at
least eight hours per day of sunlight.
→ Be sure there are no obstructions to the sun from houses, fences, garages, barns, or
other man-made structures, or from trees, shrubs, bushes, or other vegetation near
the vineyard.
→ Be sure there are no obstructions from within the vineyard such as rows spaced too
closely together so that they shade one another. Do not space rows closer than five
feet apart, except in special circumstances.
The Texas hill country is among the fastest growing wine-producing areas in the
United States. The hot summers are suited to varieties that love plenty of heat
and sunshine, just like the native bluebonnets and other wildflowers that blanket
the hills.
