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

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

Harvest season puts every part of the winery into motion.  For the 2025 vintage to come, Barbara has worked out the barrel program. The team is literally on a roll in the seller, moving barrels into position. New and “nearly new” French oak barrels are slotted into the oxo line rack.  Meanwhile, several dozen barrels are pulled and retired this year. You’ve enjoyed some spectacular wines from those retired barrels! Moore is on the way. Just you wait. #barrelcellar #frenchoak #oxoline #harvest2025 #siboney
50 years ago. Shaw. Dreyfuss. Schieder. And a 25’ footer. Three tons of him.  So many scenes after this setup.
After a beautiful linear fermentation, the estate Merlot is ready for the press, and malo. 

Over the past three days we have hosted several groups for an incredible tasting experience in the winery. Sampling the newly fermented wine, followed by tasting the macerated grapes, you really get a true picture of the components and building blocks of wine. 

More than just a wine tasting, our premium tour really is the Best of Siboney!
