Wine Atlas Collective
William Chris Vineyards is one of eight family-led wineries in the Wine Atlas Collective. A club membership at any one of them is a membership here too, at our Hye Estate in the Texas Hill Country.
What Is the Wine Atlas Collective?
The Wine Atlas Collective is an association of eight independently operated, family-led wineries in some of the country’s best wine regions. We share a commitment to sustainable farming, careful winemaking, and real hospitality. A club membership at one winery earns you member benefits at all eight.

Who We Are
William Chris Vineyards sits in Hye, Texas, in the middle of the Hill Country. Bill Blackmon and Chris Brundrett founded it in 2008 on a straightforward idea: great wine is grown, and it is meant to be shared. We farm sustainably and work only with Texas fruit, so the wine tastes like the place it came from. In the cellar we use Old-World methods adapted for Texas, from open-air fermentations to concrete and patient barrel aging. Every vintage is a conversation between sun, soil, and skilled hands.
