BBQ and Wine Touring Event, Belton and Valley Mills, TX, Saturday, July
24, 7:30am
Join
us for a Texas BBQ and wine-tasting tour. From Fort
Worth, we will drive to Belton on scenic roads less traveled. Our first
destination will be Miller's Smokehouse for lunch. Texas Monthly says this
is one of the best BBQ joints in the world (but surely they mean Texas?)
They do not take reservations, so we need to have an early start so we can
arrive before they open for lunch and line up. After lunch, we will
proceed to the beautiful Valley Mills Vineyard for wine tasting. This tasting is
an optional activity - you may proceed home after lunch. The winery will
require you to navigate a steep flight of stairs - please keep that in mind if
you opt to join us for the wine-tasting. Please note that the drive will
be a bit longer than our usual day trips, hence the early start, but we think
it'll be worth it. Pay for your own lunch and wine
tasting ($20 for a flight of 4 wines.)
Note: While Covid infections appear to be declining, we are not
out of the woods yet. We will be applying the Covid precautions
below as we have done in the past.
