We Are The Growers

Farmhouse Vineyards is pleased to offer small boutique lots of wine when the vintage allows. We specialize in warm weather grape varieties that are well suited for the arid climate of the Texas High Plains AVA.

For us, the ultimate reward is not only producing boutique runs of our own wines but receiving vineyard designation from our clients. Our tagline isn’t a nice little spin an agency crafted on our behalf. It’s our everyday goal & hopefully, our outward expression. We’re incredibly proud to say we have the best damn client list in Texas.

We Love Our Dirt!

We love it when modern technology can help us harness our natural ecosystem and allow the soil to thrive to optimum health.
The MyLand Agriculture team cored & scored our own microbes on 50% of our Vineyard Sites & grew them for the most in-depth soil analysis yet.
This also reduces our carbon footprint regarding truck in nutrients & algae’s from the coast. It’s one of our more holistic approaches to farming that is a tool in an entire program.
Regenerative Ag focuses on rebuilding and improving the health of the entire ecosystem. This includes not just the soil, but also plants, and animals. By doing so, it promotes biodiversity creating a more resilient environment for all to thrive in.
As a farm family with years of awards recognizing our conservation efforts, we proudly incorporate MyLand into our farming practice.
