Did you know, Texas wines don't have to be made with 100% Texas grapes?  

Real. Texas. Wine. To us, is defined as a wine grown 100% in Texas. Right now, the number is as low as 75% - and that's alright for now. Many wineries are making 100% Texas-grown wines, and many more are taking the pledge to go 100% in the years ahead.

That's why we've started a grass roots effort to bridge the gap between farmers, wineries, and consumers.

Our goal is to provide a resource for consumers to connect with Texas wineries that are committed to the advancement of Texas agriculture. We aim to provide a resource for those that support Texas' advancement towards the type of authenticity that has driven wine regions across the world for generations.

Where can I find 100% authentic, Texas grown wines?

Find a winery, vineyard, tasting room, restaurant, or retailer offering 100% Texas wine.

"If Texas wants to be taken seriously as a wine region, it needs to realize that in wine, truth is paramount. To obfuscate or deceive is to disrespect not only the people who drink the wine, but also the people who make it, and the land that produces it. To muddle people’s understanding of a wine’s provenance is to willfully deceive and risks engendering cynicism about Texas wine..."

​When it comes to wine, there is no ingredient more important than location. The land, air, water and weather where grapes are grown are what make each wine unique. That is why we, as wine enthusiasts, demand that a wine’s true origin be clearly identified on its label in order for us to make informed decisions when purchasing and consuming wine. This ensures we know where our wine comes from and protects the sanctity of wine growing regions worldwide." ​- Napa Valley Vintner's Association

​Early on, Oregon’s winemakers realized they had something special here, something distinct and deserving of distinction in a crowded marketplace. They didn’t have to, but Oregon’s wine industry pressed for labeling regulations stricter than those required by the federal government. It was — and is — a matter of integrity. Recognizing the importance of place and variety in the creation of wines, Oregon’s labeling regulations reflect the approach of its winemakers since the industry’s founding days: principled, honest, clear." ​- Oregon Wine Board
