My wife and I started a day off on the day before Thanksgiving here, and we're glad we did. The server took great care of us while we sampled several wines and enjoyed the sunny day. We would definitely come back to visit in the future.

I loved everything about this place, especially the beers! The venue itself is very welcoming, lots of picnic tables and chairs outside, family and pet friendly too. I ordered the Black Angus Cheeseburger and it was delicious! If we only had something like this in Katy... I will definitely be back!

Desert Door Distillery

Desert Door sotol is a uniquely Texas spirit that gives you a sensation of west Texas in every sip. The Desert Door distillery is located on the edge of wild sotol country, where you can drop by the desert-modern tasting room and enlighten your palate. Learn about sotol at the only sotol distillery in the United States while enjoying craft cocktails, expert-guided tastings, and often live music.

Wow I loved this place. We had an amazing tour guide named Dave who took us through each step of making Sotol, from the history, botany, harvesting, economics, culture, and best of all the actual Sotol making process. We got to see and taste each step from when they pressed out the juice, to the early fermentation product (incredibly and naturally smokey) to various products of the distillation. Incredible!!! Dave was an outstanding, animated, interesting, and knowledgeable host and made the whole experience unforgettable. And at the end we got to hang out in a beautiful space and enjoy some outstanding craft cocktails. Consider this a must do!!!

The winery grounds are very nice and offer a great view of the valley. Of the six wines I sampled the Texas Star Cab was by far the best. I just wish I could have brought a bottle or two home.

Duchman Family Winery

The Duchman Family Winery was founded in 2004 by Drs. Lisa and Stan Duchman in a quest to bring world-class winemaking to Central Texas and the Texas Hill Country. Their love of the unique Italian grape varieties as well as similar weather patterns to Texas inspired them to work with viticultural consultant Bobby Cox and growers in the Texas High Planes AVA to produce grapes that would allow their winemakers, Dave Reilly and Mark Penna, to experiment with making wines like Vermentino, Sangiovese, and Dolcetto.The winery continues to source the majority of its fruit from the Texas High Plains AVA, where cooler temperatures and a more “continental” climate are ideal for the production of fine wine made from Italian grape varieties. As the winery grows, the Duchmans remain committed to their goal to produce food-friendly fine wine in Central Texas using Texas-grown fruit exclusively. With an eye on the future, Duchman Family Winery continues to develop innovative winemaking and grape growing techniques in order to provide wine that truly reflects a taste of Texas for years to come.Duchman Family Winery remains one of the top wine destinations in Texas. All of the winery’s current releases can be sampled and purchased at the winery’s tasting room and the estate’s beautiful Italianate villa and grounds are open to visitors who can enjoy their wines with a picnic lunch! We have picnic tables outdoors in the shade of the oaks, or pick a cozy spot inside the winery hallway with a windowed view into the barrel room, fermentation tank, or production area for bottling and labeling of our wines.
