“We visited French Connection Winery this weekend and absolutely loved the experience. It’s a small, cozy place that immediately makes you feel at home. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff truly goes above and beyond to make your visit special.
The wines were absolutely wonderful, and the charcuterie board paired perfectly with everything we tasted. One of the highlights is the stunning view , so relaxing and peaceful while enjoying great wine and food.
The staff is very knowledgeable about the wines, and both the owner and the team are incredibly friendly and attentive. If you’re looking for a charming winery with excellent hospitality, beautiful scenery, and amazing wine, French Connection is definitely worth visiting!“
“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.“

“This place is fantastic. Margaret was a wonderful host and placed my wife and I next to the hummingbirds while we sampled excellent wine and beer over freshly-baked Italian bread and oil. 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.“
“Came upon this Winery today by accident and I must say what an amazing place!! If you are a race enthusiast and fan of AJ Foyt, this is the place to see! Jim gave us a tour and was so thoughtful and informative. The winery was beautiful, but the car museum was awesome! A must see, ask for Jim.“
