Back in August, we missed out on the grand opening of William Chris Vineyards new tasting room nestled in the rolling hills of Hye, Texas. The 5,500 sqft tasting room and welcome center was constructed especially for Hye Society wine club members and enthusiasts in mind, offering an extensive experience focused on community building and viticulture. William Chris Vineyards continues to innovate and change the landscape of Texas winemaking. Wine-o’s no longer have to travel all the way to Napa to enjoy a world class tasting experience. This boutique vineyard from Bill and Chris has blossomed beautifully over the past 11 years, and that’s why we consider it to be one of Texas’ high-end wine brands. We recently had a chance to tour the new tasting room in honor of Texas Wine Month and preview the fall holiday lineup; here are a few things you can expect upon your visit.

Great TEXAS-made wine
Southern hospitality in the rolling hills
A passion for Old-World Winemaking
Breathtaking views of the Hye estate vineyard rows
One-of-a-kind wine tasting and food pairing experience
A wealth of wine knowledge from the tasting room manager and staff
