Incredible wines and tastings with unbelievable scenery are found in Washington County and the surrounding area! At Murski Homestead we feature local fare and local wine which are used in our cooking classes, Vintner dinners and special Foodie Weekends. One of the most recent additions to the scene it the Bluebonnet Wine Trail, wine fun that is not to be missed! The wineries along the trail will offer a pairing of two cheeses from local artisans with two wines. As an added bonus, receive a packet of Texas wildflower seeds at each winery you visit (while supplies last).

Another Texas tradition, a chili cook-off, was paired with Texas wines at Windy Winery last Saturday just down the road from Murski Homestead B&B, here in Brenham TX. There were 4 chili teams for the first annual event hosted by Auggie and Linda Meitzen of Windy Winery. John Beland, famed guitarist, was also on hand providing live music while we tasted and drank! The event, held outdoors, was fun, fun, fun and delicious to boot! Be sure to put it on your calendar for next year and stay at the ranch just a few miles down the road!
