On our recent trip to East Texas, we found ourselves heading to check out the food truck park in Mabank, TX. We looked for other things to do in the area and stumbled on a listing for Ridge Creek Ranch Wine bar. This is a brand new winery, just opened in early June 2026.
There are some twists and turns to get there - lots of signage though, so don't turn back. The property itself is beautiful! If it hadn't been so hot, we would have spent the afternoon on the large covered patio. Inside, the space is great - big, open, lots of comfortable seating, either at the large bar or seated anywhere.
We asked about tastings and their wine flight came out in these cute stands! (See photo) Their menu of wines has something for every palate. We loved almost everything we tried and stayed to enjoy extra glasses before taking bottles home.
The owners, Lisa and Tony, were fun and happy to chat with us about how they got into the wine business, and their plans for the future. We wish them the best and will definitely visit again if we're in the area! read more
