Latest NewsSt. Patrick's Day CelebrationCome join us and the rest of the Way Out Wineries as we celebrate St. Paddy's! There'll be food, great specials, Irish music and even a little green wine Saturday and Sunday, March 13 & 14. This is a free event, so no ticket is needed - just come and join the fun! Release PartyOur St. Patrick's weekend will also be a Release Party for our three newest wines: the 2007 Rustler's Red, the 2008 Chardonnay and our first Chenin Blanc! We're very proud of this trio and want you to come out and taste them for yourself, so each visitor will get to draw a coin from our bag of "leprechaun gold" to apply to any purchase! Richland SpringsFor our patrons from Austin and San Antonio, there's good news! Our tasting room on Texas 190 in Richland Springs - between San Saba and Brady, is just a short drive from Austin. The vineyard house has been transformed into a charming spot with a wonderful gift shop and all of our great wines are available there - Fridays & Saturdays from 11 - 6, Sundays from noon to 4PM. For a great day trip, plan a drive to visit us and our friends here in Pecan Country - Pillar Bluff Vineyards, Texas Legato Winery and Alamosa Cellars. Continous Releases!Our production is very small, so our lineup of wines changes often. Our wines sometimes sell out very quickly, such as the 2006 Rustler's Red and 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon. We've found that a process of multiple releases during the year helps us manage the space in our small winery and gives our customers lots of opportunities to stop in and sample something new. That means you need to visit the tasting room or check out our list of available wines frequently through the shopping cart feature on the home page. You can also sign up for our mailing list and receive our electronic newsletter or an occasional post card! About Our LabelsWe're the sort of people that you describe, when you're being polite, as "individuals". We do tend to go our own way, so I guess it isn't surprising that our labels are a little bit different, too. Okay, okay, so maybe they're a lot different, but we wanted something you were likely to recognize when you saw it a second time. We think we've designed labels that reflect our individuality and our love for the place where we make our wines, and does it in a way you may just remember.

About Us
Rising Star Vineyards operates two vineyards in Central Texas. We began as growers with the planting of a small vineyard just north of the Hill Country AVA in 1999. The vineyard in Rising Star is more than 20 years old and has been supplying wineries across the state with high-quality fruit for many years, a practice that we continue today.
The winery began operation in 2005 and we opened the tasting room in Rising Star in July of 2006 and the tasting room in Richland Springs in July of 2009. Our wine production is very small and we focus on small lots of hand-crafted wines. All of our wines are made from fruit we grow. We love our land, we love our vineyards and we think you'll love our wines.
