Very friendly, accommodating place. Family friendly, with outdoor games. Decent wines to try. The road there is very rough, however.

Great staff and lovely vibes. Wine was a bit pricey but i enjoyed my time here. Wasn't too hot the day i went and i even saw a cute little frog. The drive to the vineyard was very winding but it was worth it. Drive slow and carefully. Didn't catch the gentleman's name outside on the balcony overlooking the vineyard but he was very sweet and caring. Gave us plenty of recommendations and checked on us several times and even gave us recommendations for things to do around wimberley

OMG this is a hidden gem. We are wine lovers and their wines were amazing. You can find unique wines here that you cannot find them any other places. It is a dog friendly place and we had a amazing time here and definitely visit again to explore new wines. We bought several bottles of wines as a special gift for someone special and for us too!

We went for a quick tasting to check them out. The tasting was inside of their estate house. It’s a very personable experience. The tasting room manager Mario gave us great local restaurant recommendations. The wine flight tasting included 5 wines and our favorites were the Sangiovese and a bonus tasting of their Tempranillo (for a total of 6!). It’s a cozy tasting room with friendly staff who really know their Texas wine.

Lovely wines to taste loves the #1 White and #3 Red ! Came to know the owners as they mingle with the guests … the lady at at counter was able to get us a charcuterie box which really helped clean our palate’s ! They don’t show the actual winery and it’s understandable !

Tucked away in the hills just north of Wimberley, is a small family boutique winery and vineyard that is a must on your wine travel itinerary. You may have to take a few careful turns along the windy unpaved road and navigate some narrow paths slowly, but you will eventually be rewarded at your destination with an oasis with majestic views and a handsome vineyard that greets you at the entrance. The original vineyard is no stranger to the Texas Hill Country AVA but succumbed to a fire during the great Texas drought of 2011. Owners Paul Dierickx and Ben Stovall had taken over the estate in 2016 and began the journey to bring wine life back to this spot. Planting top-quality Mediterranean varietals of white, rose, and reds that year, the 8-acre vineyard started to come back to life with vines of Mourvédre, Sangiovese, and Albarino. The winery's name pays homage to the limestone rock shelf that cascades downward towards the vineyard below. The first wine release and opening day was in 2020. Christine Daly helps oversee the vines and wine production. There is a large, covered area near the vineyard for tastings, but the real treat is the deck next to it overlooking the terrace and vineyard below.Tastings are done by "Wine of The Week" and rotate on a regular basis. You will get a selection of 5 wines to try from about 14 wines on their menu. For this tasting session, we enjoyed the whitetail which is a white wine blend of 34% Roussanne, 33% Trebbiano, and 33% Albarino. The wine was well balanced, medium bodied and would pair nicely with slow cooked chicken, and honestly is wonderful on its own on a warm day. The second white sampled was the 2021 Albarino. Sourced from Narra Vineyards, this jewel had great acids, some tropical and citrus notes. We moved onto the Dolcetto Rosé. Offered on tap, this easy sipper was dry with notes of cranberry, good acids, and a touch of effervescence. A 2021 estate blend Rosé of Sangiovese and Mourvedre is also available, and is a must to take home! For the reds, their 2019 Sangiovese has Texas High Plains fruit aged for 21 months in neutral oak. It's light in color, smooth to the taste, and has just enough acids to dazzle your palate. The 2020 Tempranillo was sourced from Crooked Post Vineyard of the High Plains. Aged 20 months in oak, this Texas red wine has medium tannins, along with a subtle light smoke and hint of leather. It is probably the smoothest and easiest Texas Tempranillo to sip than any other you have had. The 2019 Mourvèdre from the Texas High plains will delight the senses with red berries and moderate tannins. There is a 2020 estate Mourvèdre that you will want to make sure you try as well. The real piece de resistance was the 2020 Teraldego. This High Plains sourced fruit from Pepper Jack Vineyards had a deep dark plum color, rich berry flavors, and a nice lingering finish. It just might rival several good Cabernet Sauvignons. Growlers are available for some of the wines, with a nod to sustainability and just like in the old county, bring your empty one back for a refill. Look for the artistic "smoke" rendering on the labels that pays homage to the previous vineyard. Nothing on the menu will disappoint and this is the place to step out of your comfort zone and try something new, you just might find a new favorite to love. Everything is worth a try and a wonderful sipping experience. The beauty of these wines is that they are each entirely enjoyable. In the future the winery has plans to release a Fiano and Tannat. With the fantastic vineyard views from the terrace, fabulous wines, and excellent staff to take care of you, there is no need to rush life while you're here. Bring a picnic lunch or charcuterie snacks, friends, significant others, guests, yourself and just take a break to enjoy the great outdoors, a nice cross breeze on the deck, the vineyard views of this lovely gem and understand what "La dolce vita" is all about here. Relax, slow down and be present in the moment and one with your wine. Cheers!
