Authentic Texas Wine

Growing Texas Wine since 2008

Founders William “Bill” Blackmon and Chris Brundrett believe the best wines are grown, not made, and should be an expression of their native Texas terroir. That’s why you’ll often hear us say, we are pleased to share a piece of our world. We can’t wait to share it with you.

Savor the Flavors of Summer at The Chef’s Table

Our new summer menu has arrived—and it’s a celebration of flavor, craft, and Texas-grown wine. From chilled gazpacho to seared quail, each course at The Chef’s Table is thoughtfully paired to elevate the wine in your glass and the moment around the table. Explore all of our tastings and tours at Hye Estate.

Celebrate the Heart of Harvest with William Chris Vineyards

Harvest is the heartbeat of every winery—the moment when a year’s worth of care out in the vineyards comes full circle. This year, we’re sharing the joy of the season with you at our very first Harvest Festival on Saturday, August 9th.

Celebrate this milestone with an evening of live music, family-friendly games, delicious tacos and local bites, and of course, plenty of William Chris wine. Join in the festivities by purchasing a General Admission ticket, or give a hand in the winemaking process by purchasing a Grape Punch Ticket – which includes General Admission!

We Grow Wine

In 2008, William Chris Vineyards was born in Hye, Texas. Utilizing Old-World winemaking techniques, Chris and Bill sought to create a genuine expression of Texas’ distinctive grape-growing regions. Our approach is founded on the idea that great wines are not made, but grown. Each new vintage seeks to provide a level of quality wine that represents the very best of Texas terroir.
