The Vineyard encompasses approximately 30 acres of grapes, providing area residents and visitors spectacular vistas from home sites and the tasting villa. A combination of red and white varietals, including Norton/Cynthiana, Black Spanish, Cabernet and Blanc du Bois, were planted in the spring of 2007.

The Vineyard at Florence offers Texas the first country development where lifestyle, scenery, nature, viticulture, technology and outstanding services combine to create a distinctive community. Residents can experience the convenience of the tasting villa (Villa Firenze), estate home sites, rental villas, spa, café, equestrian services, polo field and much more within walking distance, while living on a vineyard.

The Vineyard community is distinct from any other in Austin, offering modern amenities to residents within a traditional setting. Residential amenities include Villa Firenze, Villa Verde, miles of Riding and Walking Trails and a Covered Riding Arena.

The wine tasting facility, Villa Firenze, provides residential meeting space for Vineyard landowners and guests. Nestled in the hillside of the residential community, Villa Verde combines relaxation with rejuvenation. Swim, relax in the sun, or exercise in the pool or fitness areas surrounded by rolling country side and breath taking vineyard views. Picturesque Riding and Walking Trails run throughout the 600 acres and connect to the Covered Riding Arena.

Wine enthusiasts, nature connoisseurs and equestrian lovers alike will enjoy life at The Vineyard. Situated 35 minutes north of Austin, the development includes over 600 acres with 30 acres of vineyards, rolling Hill Country, organic herb fields, mature oak and elm trees and fenced pastures. Gracious living and Italian architecture provide a dream-like setting for full-time residents as well as the perfect weekend or holiday retreat for a second home or villa.

We offer the convenience of two incredible tasting rooms at one stop. Visit Villa Firenze, the large Tuscan building on your left when you arrive and Inwood Estates Winery in our Italian Barn on the right.

Our Winemaker, Dan Gatlin, grew up in Dallas in a family that operated 25 beverage stores. As a professional wine buyer in the 1970s and 1980s, he was in a unique position to witness and participate in the coming of age of the California wine industry. Additionally, his position also allowed him access to the greatest wineries in France, often spending invaluable personal time with the most famous winemakers in the world.

In 1981, Mr. Gatlin became one of the first people to plant a commercial vineyard in Texas. It would take 5 vineyards and 30 grape varieties over 25 years before he would release his first wine. Today Inwood Estates' wines are recognized as possibly America's finest Tempranillo wines and are served in 200 of the very finest restaurants in Texas.

In 2009, Mr. Gatlin also assumed the winemaking role for The Vineyard at Florence and the first 5 wines were made exceeding all quality expectations, thereby paving the way for the future of one of Texas' top brands.

Inwood offers one-of-a-kind Texas wines. Inwood's tasting room is open from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm, Friday through Sunday or they may be reached at 254.793.3114 or by visiting www.inwoodwines.com.
