Our Faith
"She considers a field and buys it; from her earnings she plants a vineyard.
. . .
Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she smiles at the future."
Proverbs 31:16, 25
Humble Beginnings
The picture above shows a tiny snippet from spring 2024 at the site of our tasting room and winery.
Where are we, and what's in the vineyard?
We are located in northeast Texas in Van Zandt County, about halfway between Shreveport and Dallas, and our place is very easily accessed from Interstate 20. We planted four varieties in April 2024: Paseante Noir, Errante Noir, Caminante Blanc, and Ambulo Blanc. Never heard of them?

WINERY STATUS 2026
In mid-June 2026, we finally broke ground on the winery building! We will open our tasting room as soon as we can. We KNOW -- we can't wait, either! We don't yet have licensing to make or sell wine here, and since we truly don't wish to go to jail, we will all just have to wait. (We don't have to wait patiently, but we do have to wait.)
We are proud to say that, in 2025, we harvested 1.5 tons of grapes from our one year old vines. This fruit was sold to friends of ours for their lovely nearby winery, and we know they will soon be serving up some delicious wine there from it.
For our upcoming 2026 harvest, we anticipate having almost the same amount of fruit as in 2025, rather than getting more from our two year old vines. Due to the late spring freeze of St. Patrick's Day, our primary buds and shoots were very much affected, and our harvest will suffer for it.
Sadly, we have numerous damaged (and many dying!) vines that will have to be retrained or replaced.
