Round Top Wine & Spirits Trail
Two wineries, a craft distillery, and a brewery — all within the Round Top corridor. Open year-round, not just during show weeks.
The Trail at a Glance
You can hit all four spots in a single afternoon. Start with wine at Busted Oak Cellars, swing by Blue Mule for something casual, taste whiskey at Kooper Family, and finish with a cold beer at Round Top Brewing. Total drive time between stops: under 15 minutes. Designate a driver or plan to Uber (yes, it works out here — mostly).
The Stops

Blue Mule Winery
