My wife and I visited Cooley Bay Winery in Van Alstyne on a Saturday afternoon and had a great…read moreexperience. The venue has a modern, welcoming atmosphere with contemporary artwork, unique furnishings, and thoughtful décor that gives the space a distinctive character without feeling pretentious. We enjoyed two wine flights and found several favorites. The Peach Wine and Blackberry Wine were both excellent, and we especially enjoyed the Tempranillo Wine. The charcuterie board paired well with the tasting and made for a relaxing afternoon. The pricing was very reasonable. For two flights, a charcuterie board, and two bottles of wine, our total came to about $117, which felt fair and comparable to similar wineries in North Texas. If you live in or around Van Alstyne, this is a great local spot to unwind, enjoy some quality wine, and appreciate a little piece of wine country in your own backyard. We'll definitely be back.

Menu Sampling, wine coolies-frozen slushies, white/red-we had the red tasting. My husband liked them all- I preferred the dry red and Tempranillo. Many of the " regulars" got the frozen slushees.

The proprietor kindly explained the wines that he wanted us to taste, while he shared a bit with each of us.

I've been thinking about our visit to Square Cloud for months, literally. I've been to over 100…read morewineries, mostly on the US eastern coast (FL to Canada) and Square Cloud has been an absolute stand out. My wife and I have wildly different tastes in wine but both found wines we loved and also had a fantastic experience. 2+ hours of talking to the owners and other customers about life, the universe, and, of course, wine! An absolute recommendation for a visit where you get to pick how 'in-depth' you make it. Take suggestions from both of the knowledgeable owners- they know their grapes, growing environment, and aren't afraid to be creative. What more could you want? Specifics: intimate, caring, and practically hand picked experience with great selection range; be open to trying new wines. Wine visit for people who genuinely love wine.

The owner, Jackson, had an incredible passion for his wines which were all made with grapes grown right on the property. He was very knowledgeable and gave just the right amount of education. It's great to drink some wine and leave with a little more wine knowledge than you arrived with. If you are looking for a great tasting experience which included several free tastings (probably 8 wines or so) and a few more for just $5 then please put this place on your rotation. You won't be disappointed and you'll probably leave with a few bottles of your favorites. Keep it up Jackson!

We arrived, walked in the small building and met Adell. She set up 7 barstools, with wine glasses, and we got to the wine tasting right away. Started with the chardonnay and worked our way through about 5 different wines, ending on the Lenoir Rouge. They were all very good. My favorite being the white merlot. Adell is a character. Such a sweet lady and told us all about the wine making process, her small winery, her husband, how this wine business is their hobby. Just a cool lady that you could spend hours talking to. The only bad thing is they don't ship or distribute so if you want their wine you gotta go to Bells, TX and get it.
