Hill Country Sunset Harvest at Messina Hof

A Celebration of Wine, Tradition, & the Magic of the Vineyard 
Experience the enchantment of harvest season with the backdrop of a Texas sunset! Sunset Harvest is a hands-on celebration where fine wine, rich tradition, and unforgettable memories come together in the heart of the vineyard.

Your evening begins with a bountiful dinner, thoughtfully paired with two specially selected wines that highlight the flavors of the harvest. As you dine, our winemaker will share the rich history of the vineyard, along with a behind-the-scenes look at the winemaking process that transforms grapes into the wines you love. After dinner, it’s time to step into the vineyard and experience the harvest firsthand!
Stroll our vineyard at sunset as you pick the very grapes that will become our Hill Country’s exclusive Private Reserve Papa Paulo Port. Once picked, take part in the old-world method of grape stomping that dates back to the ancient Romans. Make your mark by signing your souvenir “Harvest Crew” t-shirt with your very own purple footprints. End the evening with dessert and a Port toast!

Recommended Attire: Comfortable, outdoor-friendly clothing and shoes are encouraged—after all, you’ll be in the vineyard, picking and stomping grapes.
