Looking For Something Fun to Do on a Beautiful Day?

It's a beautiful day outside and you've got cabin fever.  What do you do?  Hop in your car and take a 20 minute drive from League City, Texas, down to Santa Fe, Texas, and visit Haak Winery!  Haak Winery is a small, family owned business that started as a hobby for Raymond Haak, after his wife, Gladys, bought him a couple of Concord grapevines as a gift to him for their 10th wedding anniversary.

Haak Winery

They have phenomenal wines, but what I especially like about Haak Winery is that on Friday evenings, they have "Dinner in the Cellar", which is a 3-course meal and for a small fee, comes with pairings.  The food is as outstanding as the wine and the atmosphere is very romantic. They also offer Sunday concerts during the Summer, so it's fun for the entire family!

In addition, they offer tours of the winery, tastings, and also host weddings there.  Haak Winery is located at 6310 Ave. T, Santa Fe, Texas.  Their phone number is 409. 925.1401 and you can visit them on the web at http://haakwine.com.

So next time you have cabin fever, take a drive out to Santa Fe's gem, Haak Winery!

Sounds wonderful... I knew of a winery in Lubbock... LLano Estacado, from when I was going to school at Tech.  Glad to hear there are other wineries in Texas... for when I move back one day!  :-)

Kathy,

Oh, there are a LOT of wineries in Texas!!  Most of them are in the Texas Hill Country (around Austin), but I have been to one all the way in the border town of Del Rio (Val Verde Winery).  So if you do ever move back, you've got a lot of places to visit!!  Thanks for stopping by!!  :)

I love wine tastings. We have several wineries here in GA and I visit them whenever I have a chance/

Richard,

I love wine tasting, too!  I was not aware that Georgia had wineries, but will have to check it out next time I'm on travel!  Thanks for stopping by!

What a beautiful spot, and excellent to enjoy a beautiful day. Most of our wineries are on the other side of the Rocky Mountains, so I don't get to go to places like this often. Jealous!

Monica- I too have some great small vineyards and wineries about 30 minutes from my home around the town of Fredericksburg. If you're ever in the Hill Country you will have to stop by and check them out.

That sounds like a great place to stop on my drive to South Padre Island from Utah. Thanks for the tip.
