Named for the prominent volcanic formation some 6 miles southeast of the vineyard, Pilot Knob brings a new perspective to wine making in Texas. Perched on a ridge overlooking the beautiful Texas Hill Country, Pilot Knob provides an ambiance that is uniquely Texas, while delivering a wine experience that is unlike any Texas has ever offered.
The Pilot Knob Vineyard Tasting Room is the embodiment of everything we are about, in creating a unique and enjoyable wine experience. The design of the 6,400 square foot facility was envisioned with the thought of maximizing the exposure to the lovely Texas Hill Country, while giving a serene blend of new world/old world feel of a home in the French countryside. A wrap around porch provides for beautiful 10 mile+ views into the Texas Hill Country, as well as showing off the grape vines nestled close by.
