Be careful where your map program routes you - ours routed us to the old entrance off the Becker Farms Road road, instead of the new entrance off Hwy 290 - a local passerby helped us with directions. Jack and Karla drove down this morning and met up with us here at... 
|
 | We arrived at Becker Vineyards mid-morning |  |  |
| | | | |
| |  | The Homestead B&B is located adjacent to the Winery, for those that might want to stay close to the wine |
| | | |
 | Everyone enjoyed their complimentary tasting - several of us left with bottles |  . |  |
This mid 1800's antique bar was from the Green Tree Saloon, which was established in San Antonio during the 19th Century. The long leaf red pine and ceiling panel bar and backdrop were produced at the August Kerns Supply Company in St. Louis, Missouri.

They were setting up the outdoor tasting areas getting ready for a busy afternoon |  | |
| Behind the Winery is where you will find the lavender fields |
| | | | |
 |  | After the tasting the sitting area was popular, then a quick glance at the building before departing |  |
| | | | |
| Heading out of the winery |  |  | Looking back behind us as the others followed |
| | | | |
 |  | The vineyards were to our left as we departed |  |
| | | | |
Our original cruise route only planned one winery for today however, the group wanted to stop at a second winery and Torre di Pietra was the decision 
|
 | This winery was located about a mile up the road from Becker |  |  |
| | | | |
 | Inside, everyone enjoyed some different wines, with a Spanish flair and finish. Here, you pay for the tasting, $5 for 5 wines but you could share a tasting with that special someone. Several of us left here with a bottle or two of wine |  |
