Dust off your boots and shake out your best moves, because there’s a brand-new dance floor at Billy Bob’s Texas in Fort Worth. The old floor hosted an estimated 17 million dancers and featured in an assortment of films and music videos during its 37-year history.

The popular club was the brainchild of Billy Bob Barnett and Spencer Taylor, who transformed a 100,000-square-foot closed department store into a nightclub that fed the 1980’s Urban Cowboy obsession. Between dances and live music sessions, enjoy bull riding (the mechanical kind), great food from the Honky Tonk Kitchen and Pizza Kitchen, and drinks from 30-plus bar stations.

Explore Portugal on a Wine Tasting Tour with a Touch of History

All it takes is one glance at the grounds of Quinta Dona Maria, which includes a grand villa and surrounding gardens, to realize wine tasting in Portugal comes with a good dose of history. The vineyard is located in Estremoz, just northeast of the first-century Roman ruins found in Evora. In 1718 King João V built this estate for his lover, Dona Maria. When she died, the current owner’s ancestors purchased the land and have been making wine ever since. Taste the wine, which is terrific, especially the full-bodied red Dona Maria Grand Reserve. Then venture inside a building that stores large amphora vases, including one dating back to the 1200s.
