Siboney Cellars announces new Texas Hill Country winery site, partnership and expansion plans.

May 11
Categories: Passion, Press, Texas Hill Country

Have you heard the news? Siboney Cellars is coming to Wine Road 290 in the Texas Hill Country!

Yesterday, we announced a new partnership and the acquisition of a 52 acre parcel of land ideally suited for a full Texas Hill Country winery, production facility, tasting room and vineyards. The site is beautiful ? a classic Hill Country property featuring a limestone plateau, rolling hills, heritage oaks, a fertile field, stepped terraces suitable for vineyard planting, and over 100 feet of elevation changes, rising to a plateau of 1500 feet.

The new home for Siboney Cellars Is the culmination of a long held vision, made possible by a new partnership we are very blessed to have, and a search that criss-crossed the Hill Country. It is ideally situated for our plans:

Location – With frontage directly on Wine Road 290, adjacent to Lewis Wines, the new home for Siboney Cellars is situated between Hye and Johnson City, continuing the development of the eastern corridor of WR290. We look forward to taking our place among the neighboring wineries in the area and participating as a 100% Texas house.

Vineyards – this site holds a promise for true Texas Terroir – a term we believe in when it is applied to an appellation or specific location. With limestone plateaus, north-facing terraces, and a soil structure that may prove favorable for vineyard growth, we are excited about the potential of estate wines.

Views – the limestone plateau rises 100 feet above the entry point on 290, and affords commanding views. We have many plans to share these views with you!

And the new partnership? We are delighted to introduce the Waldrips to the Texas Wine community, and over the next few weeks we will do exactly that. We met Bill and Mary Anne Waldrip at a wine writer?s event hosted at Boot Ranch in 2015 – one of many industry tours and events we have attended together. Mary Anne poured our first wine – the 2017 Coral Ros?, at the Texas Wine Revolution last year. And together, we have unlocked a mutual passion for creating a wonderful winery in the Hill Country. We can?t wait for you to meet them!

Needless to say, Barbara and I are over the moon! We just returned from our first 2019 trip to the High Plains and are excited about the this year?s vintage potential. With our collaboration at Hawk?s Shadow Winery continuing through 2019 and into 2020, the new partnership, and the new location coming to WR290, we can bring our vision into focus, put more quality grapes into Barbara?s capable hands, and put more Siboney wine into your own cellar. And as always, There?s a million things we haven?t done. Just you wait!! ~MRL

Memorial Day storms check in at the last minute!

The hill country knows that it’s not a true Memorial Day without a major storm rolling through. We got our version at the end of the business day, with a deluge (none of the digital stations on LCRA or our own are accurately updated. But rain gauges in the area show 3-4 inches. And the runoff in our dry creek would not be triggered by less.

In the tasting room we saw massive rains shut down visibility to just a few feet with blowing sheets of rain that reminded us of a Florida squalls near the hurricane. Some patio furniture was tossed aside, upstairs and down.

And naturally we brought out every towel for guests who stopped in during the storm. We revived our rain-inspired playlist and the 20 of us waited out the storm!

Nicole’s Axiom held away: a threat of rain keeps people away. A sudden storm brings them in!

It’s been a few seasons since the dry Creek ran from the pond to the road and of course it reminds us of the old days in the Oak Grove. Take a look at the captions on the video. Many of you experienced these storms in 2021 with us! We poured wine in the rain. Built a bridge to span the running creek. And of course secured the tent around the legendary worlds best porta-potty to remain 100% open while we were under construction! Five years ago and the rains bring those fond memories right back to us. Post any memories you have of the good times!

One Time -- Just one moment here... Put in the earbuds. Turn it UP.
Experience this immersive minute.
This is Live. Recorded at Siboney Cellars in our acoustically perfect barrel cellar. From a single microphone, no tricks.
This is The Heart Collectors
Sonic Perfection.
They play this Sunday for a special matinee performance, 1PM.
We have hosted them many times, and it is an absolute HONOR to bring back this epic band on their US Tour -- 1 of only 2 stops in Texas. This is it, in 2026.
Just once, you`ve got to experience the sheer power pleasure and joy they bring to the stage. With each other, and with their audience. They will give it all to you. This is what live music can be.
We are splurging to bring them back. That`s how much we love, appreciate and support musicians. It`s in our family, our DNA.
And this isn`t a stupid AI post. I recorded this myself, and now I`m speaking from my heart, because they took mine years ago.
We WANT you to see them. For no other reason than pure joy. Don`t you think you deserve a little Pure Joy?
Come get it. Sunday May 24, 2026. 1PM. Ticket Link Below. https://siboneycellars.com/product/heart-collectors2026/
