Grand Opening

We are thrilled to announce that our second tasting room is opening this weekend in Richland Springs! The quaint farmhouse on our vineyard there has been transformed into a wonderful tasting room. The new location will be open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 3, 4 & 5, and we hope you'll come and see it. Although the new tasting room is not an official stop on this weekend's Way Out Wineries Picnic Road Trip, Road Trippers are welcome to stop and shop, as they'll find lots of wonderful new merchandise in the gift shop and the same great wines.

The Grand Opening coincides with the annual Fourth of July celebration in Richland Springs, which boasts one of the best community fireworks displays anywhere, so you should include a visit in your weekend plans. Tasting room hours are 11 to 6 Friday and Saturday, noon to 4 on Sunday. The vineyard and winery are at 301 Coyote Way (East Highway 190) in Richland Springs.

Wine Club Members: Don't forget that you're invited to attend our private Ribbon Cutting ceremony and reception on Thursday evening, July 2 at 7:00PM.

Fields of Gold

The rains this spring have really brought out the wildflowers. The open field to the west of the vineyard has been particularly spectacular with flowers that are so bright yellow they appear to be a carpet of gold. Don't miss the chance to visit the vineyard while things are so beautiful!

New Recipe

About Us

Rising Star Vineyards operates two vineyards in Central Texas. We began as growers with the planting of a small vineyard just north of the Hill Country AVA in 1999. The vineyard in Rising Star is more than 20 years old and has been supplying wineries across the state with high-quality fruit for many years, a practice that we continue today.

The winery began operation in 2005 and we opened the tasting room in Rising Star in July of 2006. Our wine production is very small and we focus on small lots of hand-crafted wines. All of our wines are made from fruit we grow. We love our land, we love our vineyards and we think you'll love our wines.
