We booked this tour with Rex and and the the 19th hole and it was amazing. We did the Par 3 but could of done more. The van was spotless and Rex was very professional and a really friendly person. He was there for whatever we needed and was eager to give us a lot of history of the area. He is just a really good guy and made this Louisiana Crew feel special. Thanks for the good time Rex and we will be back. The Bolin’s/Savoie’s

With 5,000 acres of vineyards planted and over 588 wineries in the state of Texas, the Texas wine industry has exploded. There has never been a better time for great Texas wines. The North Texas wineries have been under-explored which is not reflective of the amazing wines that these wineries have to offer. I wanted to bring to local Texans and tourists a personalized wine tour that displays the beauty and great tastes these Texas wineries are offering. As a former winery and vineyard owner, you'll be getting an in depth look at the North Texas wine industry that no one else is providing today. On this personal tour we'll be visiting three different wineries and vineyards. Each visit includes a tasting of 5 unique Texas wines. After your tasting you'll meet the owners, get a glass of your favorite wine and tour the vineyard. Each tour comes with a commemorative tote bag. If you're looking for a relaxing, but also in depth look at the North Texas wine industry, look no further!

Inclusions: Each guest will be able to taste 5 different wines at each winery. Your tastings are included in the price!, Private transportation, Commemorative wine tote bag.

Exclusions: Gratuities

Our first Greyline tour. I have to say Domingo could not have been better. He was friendly, entertaining and provided a well planned and informative experience. Having been a history teacher specializing in Texas history, he was able to answer many of our questions pertaining to Spain, Mexico and Texas. ????
