A visit to the age-old wine making heritage of Sicily is as close as Sour Lake, Texas. Here you will find a boutique winery dedicated to the family tradition of fruit wines that crossed the ocean at the turn of the century with the great-grandfather of Shawn Bruno, the intense owner and winemaker of Bruno & George Wines. Visitors to the winery can sample the wine that began it all – the robust, time-honored and award-winning Other Than Standard Raisin Wine (akin to Port) or our other award-winning wines, including Candlelight Strawberry, Holiday Blueberry, White Orchard Pear, Signature Peach and Arapaho Blackberry Wine.

To support the vineyard, we built three ponds. With that much water, you need fish, so we stocked Koi. With fish and water, you need ducks. To protect the ducks from coyotes, you need brush, so we built a Bamboo Jungle Maze. Jungles have birds, so we built an aviary. Just because they are smart and interesting, we got goats. To watch and supervise it all, we built an observation deck. Since we had the water distribution system and weren't busy anyway, we put in several acres of Christmas trees. Our unique wine making process requires two climate controlled cellars, so we built them for our very special nouveau-style wine made from whole cluster fermentation. All this and a lovely tasting room and gift shop.

Located in Giddings, between Austin and Houston on Highway 290, Lehm Berg Winery originated from a tradition of producing wines using old family recipes handed down through generations. Lehm Berg means “clay hill” in German and conveys the German setting for this unique family home that was built in 1927 using handmade red clay bricks fired in the down-draft kiln still visible on the property. The home was restored and converted into a winery that features wines made from local wild mustang grapes and other specialty wines. Our tours and tastings offer a unique blend of history and traditional wine making

Memories of Dad’s plum wine and a prolific backyard plum tree led Alfred Flies to a love of wines made from locally grown fruit. Since 1985, his winery has grown steadily and is known and respected throughout the state for its fine quality wines. It has entertained visitors from every state and 14 countries. The location in the Texas Piney Woods and the historical use of available fruits for what is known as “country wines” gave the winery its name. Piney Woods offers seven Muscadine grape wines, and specializes in fruit wines including Blueberry, Blackberry, Plum, Pear, Peach and Orange wine. Alfred Flies and staff welcome you for tasting and sales year round.

Tehuacana Creek Vineyards, also known as TCV, is a family owned winery located outside Waco. Tehuacana Creek (pronounced “To-walk-in-a-Creek”) runs through the vineyards on its way to the mighty Brazos River. The river banks provide well drained sandy loam for the vines. TCV produces premium red and white wines, but specializes in Port wines. Ulf Westblom, the winemaker, creates these Ports in the same traditional way they have been made for centuries in Europe by interrupting the fermentation halfway through with the addition of oak-aged brandy. Tours and tastings are free.

The Hahne family has served one of Texas’ most renowned First Families for three generations. We are pleased to offer our premier class of wine in our style of excellence to the citizens of the great state of Texas through the White House Winery. The winery derives its name from the Texas White House located in Stonewall, which served as Lyndon B. Johnson’s presidential office. During the late 1950s, the Hahne family was instrumental in the redesign and reconstruction of the Texas White House. The winery is being built to resemble that structure still standing on the LBJ Ranch today. Visitors can experience the history of the Johnson family through a photo gallery owned by Gary K. Hahne.
