Explorer Ponce de León abandoned his quest to discover the mythical land of wine after a tumble into the Fountain of Youth left him eternally underage. Take up his journey with today’s Groupon for a Hill Country wine tour—with stops for lunch and shopping in Fredericksburg—from Gray Line in San Antonio. This Groupon does not include lunch or the optional $25 fee for wine tasting. All tours leave at 8:30 a.m. and arrive back in San Antonio at approximately 5 p.m. Choose between the following options:
- For $25, you get one admission to a weekday tour on one of the following Thursdays: July 28, August 4, August 11 (an $89 value).
- For $35, you get one admission to a weekend tour on one of the following Saturdays: July 30, August 6, or August 13 (an $89 value).
Gray Line's tours of the verdant hill country grant vast vineyard views, ambrosial aromas, and an educational glimpse into the bustling wine industry of Texas. Passengers visit three distinct wineries in the exhilarating tour, inhaling the scent of lavender fields at Becker Vineyards, learning the history of Grape Creek Vineyards, and hunting wild herds of raisins on the grounds of Torre di Pietra. Finally, tours stop off in historic Fredericksburg for a 2–2.5 hour jaunt in the charming German town, allowing tour-takers ample time for lunch and shopping. Though lunch isn't included with this Groupon, vineyard votaries can dine at a German-style biergarten or flex taste buds for future stamp-licking contests with zesty Mexican or barbecue fare before browsing antiques, gifts, and stylish apparel at the town's more than 200 shops.

The Groupon Guide to: Washing Dishes
Thanks to outbreaks of contagious diseases such as lantern lung and ennui, washing your dishes properly is more important than ever. Here are some tips:
- In the Roaring Twenties, it was common to use a dish just once before donating it to an orphanage for wayward boys or grinding it up to use as pelican bait. Not anymore.
- When cleaning a dish, remember to always use soap or water.
- Soaking your dishes in a warm bath of vinegar will break the dishes' molecular bonds and cause them to reform into tiny sculptures of your own hands.
- Instead of hauling water from your local well to wash your dishes, simply drop your dishes into the well. This won't clean them, but it will anger any vagabonds living down there.
- Save time by throwing your dishes into the washing machine along with your clothes.
