ABOUT US Driftwood Estate Winery is owned and operated by Gary Elliott. The vineyard, planted in 1998, is 20 acres with 18 acres currently in production with 6 grape varieties. We received our winery license in July of 2002 and did our first commercial grape crush with the August 2002 harvest. Our first commercial wine was bottled in February 2003 and we opened the winery to the public on March 1, 2003. Our first year production totaled about 1,200 cases, which included 5 different wines. We now produce over 5,000 cases.

The Tuscan-styled stone, beautiful archways and windows into the barrel rooms make Duchman Winery a unique event space. Whether you are hosting a small conference, annual meeting or intimate private party serve up some of the best Texas wines and enjoy your escape into the Hill Country.

Curious Name, Serious Wine! Newest winery in town, Graveyard Vineyards, brings big, beautiful, quality wines from their home winery in Paso Robles, California. The estate vineyards are home to a wide array of grape varieties that partially surround the 100+ year old cemetery where the winery gets its namesake from. Rather than choosing to ignore the proximity to the cemetery, they have chosen to embrace the theme of being Graveyard Vineyards by having amazing Halloween parties and giving their wines such names as Mortal Zin, SCREAM, and Deliverance.  They opened in Paso Robles in 2005, and since then have amassed a large club with many people coming from Texas. Due to their loyalty to the club and their popular demand, they have decided to branch out and open a tasting room right here in the Texas Hill Country! From Sparkling, white, rose, cabernet to chocolate dessert wine and everything in between, you’ll find something that will please your palate. Highly awarded and reasonably priced they have a little something for everyone.  Bring a picnic when the weathers nice, hang out in their lounge when it’s too hot or rainy!  Visit Adam and his friendly staff Thursday through Monday 11a.m-6p.m, they are also both kid and dog friendly. They’ll make you feel right at home. Come as strangers, leave as friends!
