Summer Summer!
The heat is on, and it is summer again! Jerri and I sincerely thank all of our wonderful customers for their support and friendship. In the winery, we have been busy finishing and bottling many of our wines including our superb 09 Pinot Grigio. In the vineyard, we’ve begun pruning and making ready for bud-break. On the entertainment scene, we have lined up many of your favorites to return including Shake Russell, The Fab Five, Ezra Charles, Bob Livingston, Kevin Black, Tomas Balesteros, Mike Gallo, and The Texas Bluz Kats. We will be adding some new artists to keep our music series alive and fresh! Our concerts series began on Sunday April 18, at 5:30 pm and will continue thru the middle of November! We have posted the line up and will provide updates as we finalize the details.



Labor Day Grape Stomp Festival with Shake Russell
On Sunday, September 5, bring the whole family out and celebrate our fall harvest with a stroll through the vineyard, grape stomp, lawn games, specialty food tasting, sunset toast and poetry readings and of course a fantastic concert by Shake Russell and his band!!

Starting at 4:00 you are invited to take a stroll through the vines lead by award winning wine columnist, Ron Saikowski. You can check out this year’s crop and if you would like, take your picture with the vines. You can also jump into the Lucy-Look-A-Like vat and crush grapes. There will be a Lucy-Look-Alike contest with prizes awarded to the top two look-alikes. There will be T-shirts for $13 for you to step upon recording your crushing experience. Stomping on T-shirts is a great experience for parents, grandparents and kids. You can put the whole family on one shirt. These T-shirts make great Christmas presents. We will also have on-hand specialty food vendors creating a festival atmosphere. The music will start at 6:45. For this special occasion, we have Shake Russel and his band. Shake is one of Texas’s great troubadours and sings with an incredible heart. We will have Fajitas provided by Kirby’s family BBQ for you to purchase for dinner. Cover charge will be $10.

On-the-Porch Sunset Concert Series                                      » Season Ticket Info
Jerri and I dreamed of a place where family and friends could meet and enjoy the beauty of nature and celebrate life. In support of our dream, we have created a Sunday evening sunset celebration we call On-the-Porch. Every Sunday evening between the middle of April thru the middle of November we have some of the finest musicians in Texas here on our porch. Please come and relax with your family and friends. To make the evenings more relaxing and enjoyable, we have invited some of our favorite area restaurants to come out and provide a dinner meal at a very reasonable price. The dinners run between $8 and $10.

The winery will be open for tastings and we sell wine by the glass or bottle. Please bring your lawn chairs and come relax with us. The cover charge this season will be between $7 and $10 per adult over 18 and is posted each week. Please note that per TABC, it is illegal for you to bring alcohol onto the property. Check out some of the artists in our summer lineup in the sidebar:


Well, after three and a half years, Jerri and I are happy to announce that we are finally ready to open our B&B! We have named it “The Loft” because it is truly a huge loft above the old winery, and secondly because Jerri and I are more afternoon, hors d’oeuvres, sunset wine-toasting folks and would prefer spending quality time with our guests at that time. » more info

We've Expanded!
In response to the wonderful support, we have expanded our facilities doubling our wine making capacity. Our old winery has been transformed into a beautiful events room overlooking our rolling hills. This room will accommodate up to 80 people for your special gathering.

Through out the expansion process, we have not forgotten our mission statement: to provide you, our customers, with quality wines and a fun wine tasting experience in a warm environment. Every aspect of our business is designed to improve our quality and customer service while maintaining our “mom and pop” atmosphere. We hope you will find your way out to the top of our hill and enjoy some fine wines. Perhaps you too might sit and sip under the century old native pecan trees and release your imaginations and refresh your souls.


Texas Bluebonnet Wine Trail
Growing up and living in the north Houston area, I was always jealous of the Hill Country and all their wineries and wine trail events. As I was learning the commercial aspect of this business and building our winery, I had visions of having a wine trail here in our beautiful part of Texas. Well now we all have one. Eight local wineries located between Conroe and Brenham have formed the Texas Bluebonnet Wine Trail!! Please visit our website at: texasbluebonnetwinetrail.com.
