The Vineyard
Hays County
Texas Hill Country AVA
The vineyard was planted in 2006 to red Rhône varieties and Tempranillo. Jay Knepp grew up in California and was passionate about wine grape from an early age. He grows the grapes on about 50 acres with sustainable practices, but also has a focus on pairing the right wine with Texas BBQ!
