Texas Bluebonnet Wine Trail
October is all about Texas Wine!!! As avid supporters of just about anything local, especially when it has to do with food and drink, the B&B is fortunate to be located in the midst of the Texas Bluebonnet Wine Trail! The October Wine Trail celebrates Texas Wine Month with the addition of THREE new wineries along the Texas Bluebonnet Wine Trail. Your ticket (just $25 for a single ticket or $45 for “Ticket for Two”) includes two select wine tastings, paired with a unique sausage dish at each of the 10 member wineries. Be sure to book one of our foodie classes where we always celebrate and incorporate local wines and food in our menus!

Washington On The Brazos located near Brenham, Texas celebrates Texas Independence Day in grand fashion. Murski Homestead Bed and Breakfast, an original Texas homestead ranch B&B, located just down Hwy 105 is the perfect place to stay while enjoying Texas history and touring the area. We recently stepped back in time to experience some Texas history following suit by our guests after fueling up for the day with a hearty breakfast at the ranch. The following article gives a enticing glimpse about experiencing Texas history: Washington On The Brazos Independence Day Celebration

The summer brought on the grasshoppers and leaf cutters but the gardens transitioned beautifully from Spring to Summer producing zinnias, gladiolus, sweet peas, roses, flowering basils, incredible cardoon blossoms, and so much more. Our vegetable gardens at the B&B were chock full of cucumbers, squash, thyme, fennel, colorful swiss chard, bell peppers, basil, yellow and red tomatoes. We spied this fun cucumber that we had missed that was now firmly entrenched in the landscaping timbers! What were your gardens like this summer?

Our gardens at the ranch are worked year round so that we and our guests can enjoy being outside and the wild birds have plenty of food, water, hiding places and nesting material! We had a great flush this past Spring after the hard freezes of the winter helped put nature back in balance with growth patterns, weeds and bugs. We use of a lot of the flowers, herbs and fruits in our cooking classes and food preparation. There is nothing better than “farm fresh”. We encourage all our guests and cooking class participants to use anything they can find locally and fresh from the farmers markets and meat markets…..
Some great photos of some of our flowers and herbs:
