Barking Rocks Winery

Details

Little did we know that the concept of “sense of place” inspired by friend/author John Graves would turn out to be the exact pillar needed to build a local winery in Hood County; circa 2002.  Within that framework, an Italian immigrant and a native Texan blended “genes” and “jeans” to give Texas grapes a path to their highest calling was a perfect fit.  Looking back, it gives meaning to all the relationships that have been fostered with customers, colleagues, and providers alike.  Who would have ever thought that crushing Texas grapes would give way to the love and friendship that has been manifested during the years of operation?  Attending to what razzed us, we stayed small (DTC only), making wine for people to drink and converting them into a tribe. The only requirement of our wine club is to show up.  Regardless of what life has thrown our way, we continue to have room to sign our guest book, time to tell a story and some wine to share. If you have been here, come back and if not come on.    Open Saturdays 1:00 till 5:00.  817-279-2029
