Texas Legato Winery is in Lampasas, a Texas town just off US-281 on the route from Dallas to The Hill Country. Get off the highway and take the road to Texas Legato past pristine golf courses and beautiful woodland. The winery produces a large range of wines, all made from Texas grapes. This one is actually grown on the estate vineyard, hence its Texas Hill Country appellation.
