Tickets for Tamale Festival at Siboney 12/14 Available Now!
To believe that “Texas harvests three months before most other regions,” you must ignore the full calendar of harvest dates — in Texas, and in other wine regions — that are largely determined not by “hot climate,” but by geography, varietal, and wine style.
Have you heard the news? Siboney Cellars is coming to Wine Road 290 in the Texas Hill Country! https://vimeo.com/335606260 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…
Siboney Cellars takes its name from a personal metaphor that speaks to the journey of the owners, and is embodied in several meanings of the word, Siboney (See-Bo-NAY) Siboney is a beautiful old Cuban song written in 1929 by Ernesto Lecuona. A true child prodigy and prolific songwriter, Lecuona composed many classical pieces, theatrical plays, and ground-breaking Afro-Cuban songs. Well known in Cuba, Latin America and the USA, nominated for an Academy Award, and inducted into…
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.
