Northern NM or southern Colorado. Incredible weather with low humidity and nice scenery.

hill country seriously overrated. Too hot and dry. NW Arkansas so much better

This isn't remotely true. It's the 2nd largest by area but that just accounts for all the land in the hill country up through the panhandle
Multiple AVA's in California, Oregon and Washington produce more wine

this place talks about the texas hill country like it's the french riviera or the swiss alps and i really, really don't get it
Yeah, similar to how they talk about NW Arkansas. You would think they were describing the beauty of Montana or Pacific Northwest.

I know multiple people have replied already, but to add yet another angle: the overwhelming majority of wine “produced” in hill country is made from grapes grown elsewhere. Most hill country wineries aren’t vineyards, at least in any practical sense. They are wine factories and tourist destinations.
And most of the wine isn’t very good. I wanted to like it, but most of the reds have a strong sour cherry note that overwhelms everything else.

Didn't realize you moved from NOLA. Where are you working? Still with CT/CS?

You want 4 seasons a year, North Georgia/Western North Carolina is your best bet.
Want milder summers but colder winters, keep moving North from there.

The first time I went to Austin on business, everybody said "You MUST go out and see the hill country." So I grabbed a map from the hotel and drove west. And I kept driving, And driving. I finally stopped and looked at the map and I was at the H in Hill Country. I had driven though and I saw hills but I was expected greenery and trees. Silly me.
Hill country is pretty vast, but this is what I usually see west of Austin. Not sure where you went.
After living in flat as hell Louisiana up until college, the hill country was very nice to see.

Strange to come across this thread today. I’ve been looking at real estate in most of these places for a couple weeks now. Where exactly did you move?

Sick of the unending heat. fricking 91 here today. Never seriously considered moving again but I'm truly tired of heat from May to November
At least you have enjoyable evenings. In Baton Rouge we sweat through December, then again the following year through December.

Mild and wet July and August this year. Hot September and October. Been in Austin/SA area since 1997, fall doesn’t reliably start until Halloween, then it’s over by thanksgiving. It is what it is. Don’t think the weather has really changed much, just a LOT more people here.
Pro move if you like fall is head to Rockport/Port Aransas in late Nov thru Christmas. It’s fall down there until January.

Texas Hill country was an"interesting" area before it becomes over hyped and manufactured hype to make it more than what it really is. It's hot without humidity. If you not on a hill there is not much breeze.

Still working for the ingredient business from out here.
Hope you are well, sir.

Why does everyone say this? I lived there for over 10 years. You like snow from Oct to late May? Then move there.

Missouri just South and slightly west of St.Louis. It's pretty nice. Hill Country and a nice albeit rather small wine country
Hermann is great. It’s been my plan to retire out that way one day.
