The Best New Braunfels Wineries
Water2Wine – 185 S Seguin Ave.
830-609-9463
Located in Downtown New Braunfels, If you are looking for award-winning wine, then Water2Wine is where you need to be. They are an incredible wine bar and a must-visit winery for wine lovers.
Because they source their grapes from around the world and craft their wines in small batches they are able to offer over 50 different styles of varietals. You are sure to find something you’ll love.
I have a difficult time drinking some American wines because of the sulfites in them. But this is not an issue with Water2Wine. The wines are low sulfite, low-histamine, and without the heavy preservatives found in other wines.
Water2Wine won many wine competitions including the prestigious Houston Rodeo International Wine Competition.
This is the perfect place to create your own custom batch of wine. While your wine is fermenting they will work with you to create your custom labels for your 28 bottles. This is a great way to celebrate any occasion – with a glass of custom wine.
