Welcome to Whistling Duck Vineyards & Winery
A “UNIQUELY TEXAS” COUNTRY WINERY
We invite you to visit our quaint, Texas country winery and tasting room nestled at the edge of our 4 acre vineyard. We are located a little “off-the-beaten-path”, but once you arrive, we hope you’ll sit back, relax and enjoy the laid-back and fun atmosphere of our little piece of the Texas countryside.
Belly up to our tasting bar or our custom-made wine barrel tables and enjoy a glass of one of our handcrafted Texas wines. Or, relax in the country breeze on one of our covered “wine sippin’” porches. If the mood strikes you, grab one of our delicious cheese trays and make your own picnic under one of the many large oak trees dotting the property. If you get tired of sitting, amble down to the pond for a glimpse of some wildlife or wild flowers, or take a stroll through the vineyard to witness where your wine started. We want you to feel right at home here.
OUR VISION
Our vision for Whistling Duck Vineyards & Winery is the careful blending of nature, fine wine, friendly Texas hospitality, and a tranquil country setting where the most sophisticated wine drinkers and those who have never even tasted wine can come to sample our wines, relax, have fun, and feel like they’re part of our family.
Our slogan at Whistling Duck Vineyards & Winery is “Porch Sittin’, Wine Sippin’, Country Trippin’ – FUN!”

ANNUAL YULE LOG LIGHTING & WINE, FOOD & MUSIC FESTIVAL
It's gonna be a little wet, but we are having our event - rain or shine!
Bring your umbrellas and your own pop up canopy if you want to!
"A Cajun Christmas - Texas Style"
Noon to 6 PM!
We could not be more thankful for each and every one of you and for your incredible support and patronage during this very challenging year! We are looking forward to spending the upcoming holiday season with each of you and would love to see you out at the winery!
This month we will continue our annual tradition of the LIGHTING OF THE YULE LOG and WINE, FOOD & MUSIC FESTIVAL, kicking off the Christmas season at Whistling Duck. This year we're calling it "A Cajun Christmas - Texas Style" and you'll see why when you see what we have lined up for you!
In some traditions, the Yule Log was an entire tree, brought into the house and placed into the hearth - but we're going to skip that tradition since it gets a little crowded at the tasting bar on weekends. In other cultures, it was cut down by the entire family and burned a little each night - that's more our speed. In France, the log was often sprinkled with wine before it was burned, but we think that tradition might've been started because they didn't have any great Texas wine to drink and they were just trying to get rid of some of their "not-so-good" French wine. Traditionally, when the Yule log is lit, songs are sung, stories are told, and music is played. Now THAT'S more like it for The Duck! If you haven't been to this event, you really need to come on out and bring your entire family and friends that have just celebrated Thanksgiving with you. This is a FUN Time at the Winery. We promise we won't be serving any turkey and dressing, but we WILL have some delicious food, wine, and live music. We hope you'll join us as we count our blessings and toast to the upcoming holiday!
Here is what will be going on at the winery that day:
Noon UNTIL IT'S GONE -
Full Cajun Food Menu by SEAUX CAJUN
Texas BBQ by THE SMOKIN' BEAST BBQ COMPANY
2 to 5 PM - Live Music by MIKE STROUP & THE MORAVIA WOODPECKERS
5 PM - Traditional Lighting of the Yule Log and singing of Christmas Carols!
Face masks are required when inside the tasting room but can be removed once you are seated at your table.
Tables are outdoors and socially distanced. Since it's going to be a bit wet from light rain, you are welcome to bring your own pop-up canopies for your group.
