The vineyard views are beautiful, and the whole experience feels like the perfect little getaway. The wine selection is fantastic, but the Tempranillo absolutely stole the show -- bold, smooth, and full of rich flavor. It's easily one of the best we've had! Whether you prefer sweet or dry, there's something for everyone, and everything we tasted was clearly crafted with care. And we can't forget the adorable ostrich! Seeing the cute ostrich on the property just adds to the fun and makes the visit even more memorable. It's such a unique touch that you won't find at most wineries. The staff is warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable, which makes the whole experience even better. Perfect for a girls' day, date night, or a relaxing afternoon escape. We'll absolutely be back!

Had the red flight, all good- Tempranillo was great- ( not a wine connoisseur folks, but these wines were good!) Ordered the charcuterie board as well- tasty- Service was fine- no problems there- What struck me was the ambience of the place- closest thing to the Hill country without being there! Hills like this in North Texas? Never knew- Views off the patio were great-If you're in the metroplex looking to escape for an afternoon- this is a short drive and worth it, ( Note; you will travel on some gravel and some hilly terrain)

This place doesn't grow or use any local grapes. We went on a Saturday...which means the business should be prepared for one of their busiest days. Instead, our young waitress was "in your face" short with us, our service was mediocre and the establishment seemed ill prepared for a crowd. The savory cheese board was ok. However, I had have outstanding cheese/charcuterie boards at nearby wineries for less cost and far better quality. We were there in the afternoon and the very limited parking area was already full. The inside winery area is cramped and small. The outside area is spacious...but, lacks the outdoor fans that we see at many other Texas winery patios.

I am looking forward to many days, evenings and sunsets, years of magnificent sunsets with hubby & my other one & only true love, Arché Texas Rosè. "La Vie en rose" (the pink life) Oui Oui! Amy & Howard: "Sorry we missed the Christmas Party we had to leave Dallas a day early to get to Santa Fe. Thank you for the updates on the upcoming events, I not only appreciate you e-mailing me, I most certainly look forward to them, they are essential for planning ahead! The Valentine's day wine & chocolate looks fabulous, we will see you then!" PS. tried to stop by yesterday but when I got to the gate I realized you were closed.

It is tucked away, off the beaten path, on a beautifully kept property. There is convenient parking right next to the tasting room. You can choose to sit indoors or out on one of the patios - there are mini-golf holes on one and giant chess pieces on the other. When you enter the tasting room, everything is decorated with aviation items. It is super cute inside. Bathroom was clean. Service was great and staff was very friendly. The wine was terrific! We enjoyed tasting dry whites and reds and were extremely happy with all the wine. The reds were especially smooth and delicious. We also walked around outside a little before we left. There are vineyards and a large pond. You are able to get married here and there is another building to use for a reception. Definitely pay them a visit and try their wine. It's worth the drive!

It is connected to Ivanhoe Ale Works which I also reviewed independently. The cool thing about this place is that you can go back-and-forth between the winery tasting room and the brewery and the friendly servers take care of you no matter where you are. We also got to meet the owner, she was really friendly, down to earth, and we had some good conversations and got the learn a lot about her and what motivates her to do what she does... The wines were pretty good. She had a chocolate rosé that I found really tasty. Their Tempranillo is really and they are a great value. We will be returning soon

My husband got the Ivanhoe Peach and he loved it! We will absolutely visit again the next time we are in the area! Maybe try the brewery attached next time which is in the old town cinema. They also have live music in the evening! What a great place with great people!

I'd highly recommend doing a wine flight--it's only $20 and a great way to try a variety of their wines. I tend to prefer sweeter wines, and the Silver Comet was my favorite by far. The Grande Finale was also really good and worth trying. They also had wine slushies, which were a nice touch--flavors included lime Rita, red sangria, and peach, perfect if you want something refreshing. Overall, great atmosphere, unique setting, and a good mix of options. Would definitely come back!
