Texas by the Numbers

Texas ranks among the top five states in the nation for total winery count with over 520 licensed producers. The Texas wine industry — centered in the Hill Country AVA, the Texas High Plains AVA, and the Texas Davis Mountains AVA — produces award-winning Tempranillo, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Roussanne that are changing perceptions of American wine. Texas craft breweries have also made their mark nationally with Austin, Houston, and Dallas producing celebrated craft beers that compete with the best from any American city.

The Texas craft spirits industry has become one of the fastest growing in the country. More than 170 licensed distilleries produce bourbon, rye, vodka, gin, and Texas’s signature product — mesquite-smoked whiskey — from operations ranging from small farm distilleries to nationally distributed brands.

Texas Wine Country

The Texas Hill Country American Viticultural Area is the state’s premier wine region and the second most visited wine destination in the United States after Napa Valley. The Fredericksburg area along US-290 — known as the Wine Road — hosts dozens of estate wineries producing distinctive Texas wines from Tempranillo, Viognier, Roussanne, and Mourvedre grapes that thrive in the Hill Country’s limestone soils and extreme temperature variations.

The Texas High Plains AVA around Lubbock produces some of the state’s most commercially successful wines and supplies grapes to wineries across the state. The Texas Davis Mountains AVA in far West Texas produces boutique wines in one of America’s most remote and spectacular wine regions.
