Founded by Miguel and Barbara Lecuona, Siboney adds a beautiful new chapter to the story of Texas Wine.

Siboney is a beautiful old Cuban love song written by Ernesto Lecuona, Miguel’s great uncle and internationally acclaimed composer. With this playlist, the Hill Country AVA now dances to a vibrant new beat.

Our Wines

Every bottle from Siboney Cellars is, and always will be, 100% Texas Wine. Hand crafted and aged with the passion it deserves, and the time it requires. The modern facility and innovative Barrel Cellar are in harmony with the vision of quality winemaking, artisan work, and exceptional hospitality in a beautiful space.

Siboney Cellars
Estate Vineyard

Planted in 2021, the Estate Vineyard is the primary design focal point for the entire site. Every table and terrace seat has an exceptional view over the Merlot vines situated on the sloped, limestone terrace.

Featuring excellent drainage and diverse soil composition, a modest irrigation well, rainwater catchment tanks, and carefully preserved oak trees that provide shade in the middle of the vineyard, Siboney embraces the value of sustainability and harmony with the natural Hill Country micro-climate.

We thank God for the gifts of generosity and spirit as seen through friendship.  And through the sharing of food and wine and most importantly, sharing of time together. Precious days indeed. Happy Thanksgiving.
Team Siboney: The Fireman. El Euro. The Voice. Lil Red. The Story Master. 

Not just Tasting Room Staff, these are hospitality experts steeped in the culture of the “incredible guest experience.” They are wine-and-culinary geniuses, storytelling orators, culturally engaged students of learning, and tireless practitioners of joyful service… Siboney Service. 

They’re from here - local hill country volunteers, neighbors.  Fierce advocates for Texas Wine, and building on the positive reputation of the Texas Hill Country Wine Region.  And they are your friends, anytime you need one. 

A little inside baseball: this group of wonderful people routinely choose to share tips across the team rather than play it solo, especially on event days. Their choice. 

Over the past four years, when one of the team is sidelined, the others always step up, fulfilling our service duties and responsibilities without complaint. This is because they understand the value of being there for each other. 

It’s hard to put into words the value of these qualities to the entire enterprise. 

We only compete against what we are capable of doing. We are completely grateful to our tasting room team, because their energy, attitude and enthusiasm allows us the privilege of creating the most unique and interesting wine and culinary experiences to be offered anywhere. 

And we would not have it otherwise.  You have told us this directly, and have seen this in practice, time and again. You have feasted on it through Kappy’s incredibly thoughtful and approachable event menus, club release pairings and culinary experiences offered by this team all year, including monthly domino day pig roasts, and the rollicking high energy club releases each season.  The team enables all of that.  And of course you’ve long appreciated Barbara’s artistry in the cellar, presented by this team every day.  And many evenings.

We are honored and proud to suit up and go to work with this enormously capable team in the tasting room, and at your service.

We cannot get out. 
They have taken the bridge. 
And the lower levels. 
Drums, drums in the deep. 
We cannot get out. 

They are coming….
