We are hosting an exclusive Wine Release Party & Dance for our Wine Club Members ONLY. During this ticketed event, one of the winery owners, John Cooke, will lead everyone in a guided tasting of our brand new TEMPRANILLO RESERVE (Dry Red) and FRIDAY NIGHT WHITES (Sweet White) wines. In addition to your Free Member glass of wine, you will be treated to a Premium Grazing Table Extravaganza complete with an extensive variety of endless heavy hors-d'oeuvres and sweet desserts to tantalize your taste buds. We will have amazing Live Music by CASEY CHESNUTT and a designated area for Dancing the night away!

Casey, born into a musical and artistic family, was greatly influenced by the musical style of his father, Mark Chesnutt. His famous last name is one of country music royalty, but Casey isn’t leaning on it for a leg up in the music business. He’s forging his own path – first through the Texas country scene and now determined to cultivate his unique version of modern country music.

Performing a wide repertoire of red dirt, classic country, and a little rock & roll, Casey enjoys performing at venues throughout the US. Soulful, whiskey-throated vocals with the simplicity of an acoustic guitar is Casey’s true love and forte’.

During the evening you will have an exclusive opportunity to be the first customers to purchase glasses and bottles of Tempranillo Reserve and Friday Night Whites.

Tickets for this special MEMBERS ONLY evening are only $45 per person and can be purchased at the winery or online at the following link:

Come on out to the winery as we welcome back to the Whistling Duck music stage, BILL PEKAR & DAMON WILLIAMS, performing from 2 to 5 PM.

With over 30 years of songwriting and performances under his belt, Bill brings that home sweet Americana feeling through his music. Appealing to many with his eclectic musical style, you’ll find a little bit of rock and roll, blues, and even country through Bill Pekar’s songs and performances. As a singer and songwriter, Bill has had many songs charted and a #1 hit in Texas, “Colors are all the Same” in 2000, as well as a second project in 2004 titled, “On a Country Road”. Bill tours throughout Texas and loves connecting with people through music. Sharing intimate stories listeners can connect with and relate to is therapeutic for both Bill and his listeners.

Come out to hear some fantastic live music that you won't want to miss. We can't wait to see you here! We are open until 7 PM.

We are excited to welcome to our music stage for the very first time the FIDDLER and GUITARIST from the musical group, RIGHTEOUS INTONATION - a San Antonio based, Country Western band with a bluegrass skeleton, western guts, angelic voices, and fingers of white lightning. Their songs of westward expansion, riverboat tragedies, and gold-mining ghost towns are woven with a pure tapestry of warm harmonies, intertwining melody lines, and hearts that glitter more than Fort Knox gold. Righteous Intonation will make you sit up and say, "Gosh Darnit, who are those boys"?

We are open from Noon to 7 PM and will have our regular food menu available for purchase. Come on out for a great day of food, wine, & live music!

Join us as we welcome back to the musical stage, the incredibly talented, COLETON BLACK from 2 to 5 PM. Born into a lineage of musical talent, with his father Kevin Black and uncles Brian and Clint Black as guiding stars, Coleton's artistry is a blend of country traditions and a bold, modern perspective. His debut album, Come And Get Ya Some, a masterful showcase of storytelling and musicianship, marks him as a notable figure in the genre's evolving landscape.

We are open from Noon to 7 PM and will have our regular food menu available for purchase. Come on out for a great day of food, wine, & live music!
