Friendly with our dogs + we loved getting to see all their vineyards and farm animals! Stunning property sitting on a hill. Best meal we've had in gun barrel / mabank / Athens.

I recently took one of those bus tours of Texas wineries with friends last month. Tara Vineyard was…read moreour first stop. I instantly fell in love with it - the charm of it - quite unpretentious. The tour they gave us was so much more in-depth and natural. Learned a lot! We enjoyed a great meal while there - so fresh and tasty they should serve dinner! They already serve breakfast, check out the beautiful home (Tara Inn) with rooms for enjoying an overnight stay at the vineyard out in the country. We walked around the grounds, so dress comfortably. There were all kinds of farmyard animals and they showed us some of the equipment used to make the wine. I purchased two bottles of the Texas Twang. It was a little sweeter than I usually like but it had such a great flavor. I also purchased a bottle of Orange Muscat Dessert. Out of the 3 locations we visited, this was our favorite. Check it out!

The buffet offers many good choices, & it's sometimes hard to decide whether to get my salad plate first before sitting down to enjoy it, or if I should get that & my plate of hot food at the same time. They have good vegetarian-friendly options in both the "cold plate section" & the "hot plate section". The bathrooms are nice & well-maintained. The staff is also friendly & helpful. I also enjoy looking thru the monthly newsletter to see what other events they have available throughout the month. It's a great place for other benefit dinners & fundraiser events.

I wasn't too hungry so I ordered the sampler platter with hot wings, dirty fries and bacon wrapped jalapenos. The wings were delicious and so were the fries but the bacon on the jalapenos were burnt. There are just a few, I believe it was 3, beers on tap. The Shiner was cold and refreshing. Don't know if I'd go here again.

This is a smaller museum located beside the Planetarium. Parking is a small lot so be aware…read more Admission is $8 for adults. It's a small museum that has three sections. The one section full of arrowheads is pretty impressive that one person could collect so many and catalog them. If you like arrowheads and the like you'll love this extensive exhibit. There is also a Civil War exhibit that has several letters written by people during the time. There are also large blown-up photos from the period as well. There is one particularly gruesome reenactment of an amputation. (I think whoever did this wanted to work in horror movies. Hah!) There is a gallery full of artwork. Be aware there are no photos allowed there. There was a guide who hovered a bit too much for my liking but his heart was in the right place telling us information about the exhibits. There are a few videos you can watch if you'd like but we preferred to walk around.

This museum on Navarro College's campus may be small, but is impressive. The museum is divided…read moreinto three sections. The first section are arrowhead collections, but was a little boring. The second section is an art gallery with great art. The third section, which is the most exciting, is about the Civil War. The collection of Civil War letters are impressive and gives a glimpse of life. There was a docent who moved about answering questions, but this museum was empty except for Hubby and I and another couple.

Although if more people came, I'd worry the lake would get too crowded. It was great getting to wave to the boats from the docks in the neighborhood. Too bad it was over so fast. Oh well, next year!
