BARREL EXPERIENCE 2026

  • Ron Yates 6676 Hwy 290 W Johnson City, Texas United States (map)

Have you ever tasted the difference between American Oak and French Oak?

Now’s your moment to find out firsthand.

Join Ron and our winemakers in the Barrel Room for an intimate, barrel-to-glass experience.

You’ll taste side-by-side samples drawn directly from the very barrels currently aging some of our most iconic red wines (specific vintage to be revealed soon).

Along the way, Ron will share clear, fascinating insights about how each type of oak—American vs. French—shapes the wine’s aroma, texture, spice, tannin structure, and overall complexity.

A rare chance to literally taste the wood’s influence on the wine you love.

Spaces are limited — don’t miss it.

Note there are two session options and each session is the same experience and has its own ticket. All sales are final and cannot be exchanged.

Session 1: SATURDAY July 11th, 1:00-2:30

Session 2: SATURDAY July 11th, 3:30-5:00
