Thinking of a trip to the Hill Country this Memorial Day? Consider Flat Creek Estate, a winery near Marble Falls. They are open Saturday, Sunday & Monday 11am – 5pm in the Tasting Room and 11am – 4pm in the Bistro (Reservations Required for the Bistro).
One reason you might want to go is that they just earned a 2013 Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence. Per the press release:
