Many years ago, two Gregs became friends. One Greg made wine and loved paddling rivers. The other Greg paddled rivers and loved wine.
So, in a flash, the annual Far Flung wine tasting trip was born.
Greg Bruni (known as Greg 1) wine maker extraordinaire and Vice President of Llano Estacado will be our master of vino ceremony on this three day, two night adventure on Big Bend's Rio Grande River.
Greg Henington (known as Greg 2), owner of Far Flung Outdoor Center, will be the river master and wine drinker.
Whether you are a novice to the art of wine or a connoisseur, you don't want to miss Greg 1's river of enology knowledge.
Since our flows are largely regulated by seasonal rainfall and dam releases from Mexico, our ability to predict water levels too far in advance is limited. When planning your multi-day trip on the Rio Grande, please understand that the trip may be conducted by canoe or raft.
Be sure to check out our photos from the 2011 Big Bend Wine Tasting Trip! We had a blast! Sitting at camp watching the sun set over the canyon with a great glass of wine! It couldn't have gotten any better! Join us in 2012!
Yippee! Far Flung's wine tasting adventure made the February issue of Texas Highways magazine!
