Siboney Cellars
Estate Vineyard

a hidden gem nestled in the rolling hills of the Texas Hill Country

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.
