One of the things I enjoy doing is visiting our Texas Hill Country Wineries. One of my favorites is Torr Na Lochs in Burnet, Texas.
This winery is known for its great views and great wine.
Here’s the story as told by the owners, Blake and Karen…
“Even as childhood sweethearts we have always had a common goal, and this vineyard and winery is our latest vision come to life. We purchased our 180-acre ranch while living in Scotland, and our time there inspired the name Torr Na Lochs, which loosely translates from Gaelic to Hill Over Lakes. The winery sits high above the Colorado River valley overlooking both Inks and Buchanan lakes.
“It was on a wine tour in Australia that we noticed the similarities between the vineyards there and our ranch property, and the idea for the vineyard and winery was born. Two years of weekends preparing the vineyard culminated with the planting of our first three acres of vines in April 2014. Winery construction started shortly thereafter, and the tasting room opened in September 2015.
“After making the leisurely half-mile drive along a granite gravel road to the winery building, choose from a number of seating options for tasting great Texas wines with an even greater Texas view. As native Texans, we are committed to wines made from only Texas grown fruit. We invite you to relax and enjoy the variety of Torr Na Lochs wines poured at your table by our friendly staff.
We look forward to sharing our vision and dream of a Truly Texas Wine Experience with you!”
We almost missed discovering this place. We had been visiting another nearby winery when we overheard some folks talking about Torr Na Lochs and it’s great view.
We decided to stop by and it’s been “our winery” ever since. We joined their wine club and enjoy the member events.
