Nestled into the “Texas Hill Country” Austin is a unique oasis in the Texas landscape. The area is unique for its fusion of Spanish and Central European influences in food, beer, architecture, and music that form a distinctively “Texan” culture separate from the state’s Southern and South-western influences. For example, the accordion was popularised in Tejano music in the 19th century due to cultural exposure to German settlers.

In recent years, the region has emerged as the centre of the Texas wine industry. Three American Viticultural Areas are located in the areas: Texas Hill Country AVA, Fredericksburg in the Texas Hill Country AVA, and Bell Mountain AVA.
The Hill Country is also known for its tourism. In 2008, The New York Times declared it “The number one vacation spot in the nation.” The Hill Country has made Texas second to Florida as the most popular retirement destination in the United States.
