We were not part of the tour and we felt pressured to quickly taste the wines before the tour came in. We left, never to return.

very interesting history of olive oil and growing olive trees in Texas

We visited Bella Vista vineyard on a Sunday afternoon and had a lovely time. The woman who lead our wine tasting was very knowledgeable, conversational, and even rather witty. We had a great time talking to her. We sampled four wines and were very impressed. Additionally, we tasted multiple olive oils and learned about the olive oil making process. The... More

A really unique experience - the olive grove, the garden (I had never seen asparagus growing! - it's a beautiful plant!) and the owner, Jack.

Who knew that only three places in the world grown olives, and Texas is the third! Jack gave a very interesting talk on all things olive-related, including how olive oil is made, the oldest olive orchard (thousands of years old), and... More
