BULL LION RANCH
FAMILY OWNED & OPERATED
They have been a working ranch for over 25 years, primarily as a Registered Red Angus and Performance Paint Horse operation. The ranch and vineyard are located in the Chalk Mountain region. They chose to plant in the rocky portion of their Texas ranch land to emulate the vineyards of Italy. The characteristics of the high mineral content soils bring out a unique, old world character at the Bull Lion Ranch wine.
VINEYARD
In 2010 they began a new adventure in the vineyard and wine business, but their families from Italy have been growing wines for over 100 years. This family tradition continues today near Chalk Mountain, Texas, producing old world wines from 100% Texas grapes. Checkout their new Grapevine on Main Street next to JudyPie! They have a large outdoor patio with climate control to make relaxing with a glass the most enjoyable experience. They are pet friendly outdoors, kid friendly and have patio games for you and your friends. Their fully stocked deli includes delicious homemade desserts and delicious Italian Cheese Trays to snack on with local Texas wine. They host specials weekly and would love to be a regular stop on your weekend wine tour!
