About 7,200 reside in Refugio County, many of which commute to Corpus Christi. Stroll down Old Commerce Street in Refugio to view the Victorian Era architecture and historic town, then drive to the Texas South Wind Vineyard to take in the smell and taste of fine wine aged in French oak. The Refugio County Museum offers an informative tour for those curious about history – but to immerse yourself in local culture, be sure to attend the chili cook-off and Festival of Flags. The Aransas National Wildlife Refuge is adjacent to the county, and is the prime location for outdoor recreation.
