Local folks, Saturday, September 26th join us for a special tour + 2026 vintage tasting led by our winemaker Joey Bagnasco. Guests will learn about each block of grapes our winery crushed this season, will taste these new wines straight out of the barrel, and will have a chance to mix (“punch-down”) fermenting grapes. If you want the inside scoop, this is it! There’s a 2pm time slot as well as 4pm, tickets available on our website. Cheers! 🥂

We had an amazing Estate Tempranillo harvest this season! We would love to give a huge thanks to our amazing wine club members who showed up very early that morning and helped us out. Cheers to another fantastic year of Texas wine! Soon we’ll be headed to the high plains to bring in even more fruit.

Dear Guests & Members,

Our harvest season has begun! In the next two months we will be crushing 50+ tons of Texas wine grapes. If you visit or book a tour between this weekend and late September you'll get to see (and smell) the process.

For Members, we'd like to extend the following invitation:

Join us for our Annual Harvest Party this Saturday, July 25th! This event is free with an RSVP. Wine Club Members attending this early-morning event get to help us hand-pick our Tempranillo grapes and then crush them underfoot! Please RSVP here if attending. Limited to the first 40 guests... Free brunch after the harvest is included.

Tickets are also live for our next Wine Club Dinner on Friday, July 31st featuring guest chefs from Harmony Home Collective. Check it out! (https://www.valleymillsvineyards.com/winery-events)

Finally, we want to remind you that every Saturday our tasting room serves up fresh, scratch-made, never-dried pasta (ingredients courtesy of our friends at Di Campli's Italian Ristorante). If you haven't tried it yet, we think you'll be impressed!

See y'all soon,
-The Team at Valley Mills Vineyards

Dear Guests & Members,

We hope you're enjoying the longest days of the year, soaking up some sun, and preparing to celebrate America's 250th birthday. Here at the winery, summer is "Pet-Nat" season. Our Petillant Naturel (French for "naturally bubbly") is served ice-cold and pairs well with bathing suits, pontoon boats, and a slight sunburn.

Answers to a few questions we keep getting:

1. Yes, we are open on July 4th, bring your peeps.
2. If you walk into the vineyard this time of year, you'll see acres of ripening grapes. Yes, you can eat ONE OR TWO!

For Members, we still have a couple of seats available at our next Wine Club Dinner on Friday, June 26th at 6:30 PM featuring local favorite: chef Blaine Peper of Blaine's Restaurant. These dinners always include all food, wine, and service.

You're welcome to place orders on our online shop, but we reserve the right to delay shipments until it cools down in the fall...

The next email you'll see from us will be about our Annual Harvest Party! We aim for a Saturday morning, typically in late July or early August (but depending, as our livelihoods do, on the grapes).

Speaking of grapes, if you are interested in purchasing freshly crushed wine grapes to make your own wine at home, we can make that happen! Please reply to this email for details.

God bless America,
-Joey Bagnasco

Dear Guests & Members,

As May comes to an end and summer begins, we've been busy tending vines and blending wines. It's hard to believe that we're only two months away from harvest!

Local folks are encouraged to join us for our Annual Crawfish Boil. This upcoming Friday, May 29th from 5-9 PM we will be serving up unlimited crawfish + sides. It will get hot and spicy; we'll stay open until dark - people will pretend to be Cajun.

For Members, our next Wine Club Dinner is on Friday, June 26th featuring the very talented chef Blaine Peper.

If you intend on placing an order for shipment please do so in the next couple of weeks. Our online shop is open, but when the highs get over 95F, we prefer to delay shipments until it's cooler...

Thank you,
-The Team at Valley Mills Vineyards

Dear Guests & Members,

We're receiving the last of our April showers at present and preparing for a May full of flowers.

We would love to see you this weekend (the final weekend for Members to pick up wine before it is shipped out), however, please be aware that we will be closing early at 4 PM this Saturday, May 2nd for a wedding!

It's not just wedding flowers around here. We'll also have flowers to give everyone who attends our Mothers' Day brunch on Sunday, May 10th!

You might also consider picking up tickets for our Annual Crawfish Boil on Friday, May 29th. Both of these events are open to all guests, not just Members.
