Our Estate Vineyards

Los Pinos produces wines from grapes grown in our estate vineyards, as well as from three Vineyards in west Texas. There are two varietals planted on our winery property, Blanc Du Bois and Black Spanish. These varieties grow well in east Texas, as they are resistant to disease pressures that are inherent in our region, and are made into dry, semi-sweet and sweet wines.

Los Pinos estate white grapes are harvested by hand during the final week of July, and reds are normally ready mid to late August, but the actual day is dictated by the grapes. We encourage volunteers to come help with the harvest, those who appreciate the value of each little grape’s life, as well as rise early enough to arrive in the vineyard on time, 6 am! Our Chef puts out a spread after we are done with the harvest, and the wine flows too!

Our West Texas Vineyards

Our West Texas Vineyards are located in the best wine grape growing region in the State which has been designated as the Texas High Plains AVA. It has been discovered that this Texas AVA in the best growing conditions for Italian, Spanish and southern French wine grape varietals.

Los Pinos partners with several vineyards in the Texas High Plains to source high quality vitis vinifera grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Primitivo, Tempranillo, Viognier, Roussanne, Sangiovese, Montepulciano, Alicante Bouschet, Riesling, and Gewurztraminer. Our vineyard partners include Diamante Doble Vineyards, Triple D Vineyards, Six Harts Vineyards, Bingham Family Vineyards, Five Star Vineyards, and Lazy L Vineyards, all located near Brownfield, Texas.

When the grapes are harvested in September and October, they are immediately placed in refrigerated trucks and then sent on to our winery in East Texas. We believe our West Texas Vineyards will continue to bring finer, more elegant edge of quality to our wines in the years to come.
