Valley Mills Vineyards is a full-production win-
ery that produces fine wines from 100% Texas-
grown grapes. This family owned company
uses intensive farming and old-world wine-
making techniques. The family farms over 20
acres of vines in McLennan and Bosque Coun-
ties, and their wine program features bold, full-
bodied red wines, along with a wide range of
varietals and styles. The tasting room hosts
many special events, pairings, dinners, and
parties.
Waco Winery is a locally-owned vineyard and
tasting room. It’s a relaxed space to unwind
and enjoy fine Texas wines. Their vineyards
and tasting room are located just a few miles
outside of Waco. The winery offers weekly live
music, private parties, wine tastings and gour-
met farm-to-table dinner events. Waco Winery
is also planning to open Waco's first rooftop
winery and tasting room, in the heart of historic
downtown Waco, just a few blocks from Mag-
nolia Market.
Kissing Tree Vineyard has a sweet backstory:
its owners shared their first kiss as high school
freshmen in a hackberry tree located in what
was to become their winery. Their tasting room
offers live music and gourmet Italian dinners
every weekend, and brunch on Sundays.
