“We went to this place based on recommendation from another vendor. We were so incredibly surprised. I have some great wine. Especially lighter reds. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and so kind. We got a whole history around the lines, which was quite lovely. The back patio was very comfortable to sit on and has a great view. We left with several bottles and will absolutely be back.“
“We love coming to Hye Meadow Winery. They have done an excellent job creating a laid back family friendly atmosphere with their outdoor space and more intimate experience at their inside bar. Stop in here to soak up the beauty of the Texas Hill Country and enjoy some delicious wines. You won't be disappointed!“
“A Hidden Gem Beneath the Hill Country Sky If you’re looking for an unforgettable wine experience in Texas, stop scrolling and add Calais Winery in Hye, TX to your must-visit list. Tucked into the side of a limestone hill, this boutique winery offers an intimate cave tasting experience that feels like stepping into a secret—the kind of place you only whisper about to friends you trust to appreciate something rare. French winemaker Benjamin Calais has crafted something extraordinary here. His wines, made exclusively from 100% Texas-grown grapes, are Bordeaux-inspired yet distinctly Texan—elegant, complex, and soulful. Every sip tells a story of sunlit vineyards, native yeasts, Hill Country water, and a winemaker’s devotion to excellence. Tastings are by appointment only, which means you’re never part of a crowd—just part of the moment. We sat at a table fashioned from reclaimed barn wood, surrounded by barrels and stone, and shared an hour of good wine and even better conversation. It was as if time slowed down just for us. Whether you’re a seasoned oenophile or a weekend wanderer, Calais Winery is a revelation. The cave. The craftsmanship. The calm. This is what wine tasting should be—intimate, authentic, and deeply rooted in the land. Bravo, Benjamin. You’ve bottled something magical.“

There are a lot of winery options in the area, but if you want a personal touch with delicious offerings, this is the one to visit.“
“Jim welcomed us with a warm greeting. He spoke about the winery and the museum. Was knowledgeable and helpful choosing wine since I’m not a wine drinker. The museum has a lot of moments captured of AJ’s life during his career. We had a great time relaxing and seeing a bit of racing history.“

“Great experience! Highly recommend. They specialize in red wines and we learned that they are wine growers not wine makers- this makes a huge difference!! Make sure you ask about this ;) Shane was absolutely amazing in teaching us about everything and making the experience truly personal!“
