wineries from out-of-state as their brand encompasses a California vineyard with its main tasting room in Texas.

As I delved into the conversation with the passionate individuals behind Bending Branch Winery, it became evident that their commitment to quality and innovation sets them apart in the thriving Texas wine industry. They take pride in their sustainable practices as well as supporting other wineries across Texas.

I hope you read my article and are inspired to take a journey through the heart of the Texas Hill Country. From the quaint streets of Comfort to the historic squares of Fredericksburg, every corner has a tale to tell. Let the rolling hills, the rich culture of small towns, and the flourishing wine scene be your guide. There are vast opportunities waiting to be explored, and Texas, in all its Springtime glory, invites you to discover the countless flavors it has to offer.

s the bluebonnets bloom and the weather warms, Texas wine lovers embark on their journey to experience over 4,000 acres of vineyards across the state.

Along this trek, regulars might notice a few new vintners—people who make wine— along the way. But what they may not realize is that some of these newcomers are from out-of-state and are eager to be a part of Texas’ flourishing wine scene.

In 2022, WineAmerica conducted an economic impact study to determine how wine affects every state in the country, taking sales, tourist expenditures, and taxes into consideration. It found that the economic impact of the wine industry in Texas was $20.3 billion, representing a 55 percent increase over the past five years. The state has over 500

addition of three other brands: Ursa Vineyards, Bending Branch 1840 Bourbon, and Chicken Duck Bourbon Whiskey.

Dr. Young received his winemaking certificate from UC Davis in 2014 while learning techniques from then-Ursa Vineyard owner Greg Stokes, with whom Bending Branch still works closely. Ursa Vineyards is a Texas“There’s a large pool of talented people owned winery located in the Sierra Foothills doing great things in the Texas wine scene,” region of California, with its main tasting Cernosek said, “So it’s an exciting industry to room located on High Street in Comfort, TX. be a part of as we’re growing and producing quality wines. And all along the way, we’re “We do all of the main sales [for Ursa Vineyards], and we have their wine club—all giving customers a fantastic experience.” based in Comfort, TX,” Cernosek said. “So if Along with his wife and daughter, Dr. Bob you think about it and you see some of the Young founded Bending Branch in 2009 and wineries that are moving here, there’s a lot opened the tasting room in 2010. Since then, of attention to California wineries moving Cernosek said there has been incredible to Texas and opening tasting rooms—but growth for Bending Branch though the we’ve had that happening for a while.”

The Ursa Vineyard tasting room is one of the first California wineries to open up a tasting room in Texas, and many other wineries have done the same. The main attraction of Texas to out-of-state businesses is the significantly cheaper land. A 2023 United States Department of Agriculture land values summary found that Texas crop land’s average value is $2,590 per acre, while California cropland is valued at $15,880 per acre, making it six times more expensive.

The camaraderie and small-town environment of places like Comfort and Fredericksburg, TX are other appealing characteristics for wineries, as they also tend to be for out-of-towners. It is no secret that Californians have been moving to Texas for years. More than 100,000 Californians moved to Texas last year, with only around 40,000 who made the opposite move.

Over the past three years, Cernosek said she has noticed an increase in the number of people from other states applying for positions at Bending Branch. Cernosek said many people, even Texas natives, don’t realize that the Lone Star State is making quality wine. The reality is that the wine scene in Texas is among the top four in the United States. Not only is the wine incredible, but Cernosek also said the working environment is ideal.

“We have a lot of wineries who are so supportive of each other,” Cernosek said. “I think we all have the same goal of shining a positive light on Texas wine.”

Bending Branch supports other wineries by acting as a custom crush facility—an onsite facility with start-to-finish equipment to help clients make unique wines. Bending Branch is currently working with more than 20 different Texas wineries. Through this process, Cernosek said she “sees so much support and interest in moving the Texas wine industry forward.”

A crucial factor of wine-making in the Texas Hill Country is the farmers and vintners involved. Cernosek said the main thing she hopes people realize is that Texas is making incredible wine and will continue to impact Texas’ economy, culture, and agriculture.

“You think about going local and eating local produce, well you can drink local, too. Texas wine is an agricultural product,” Cernosek said. “It’s great to tell people about Texas wine and expose them to this important and thriving part of agriculture in Texas.”

For those who prefer to travel by air, the ranch has a 4,000x75-foot, paved runway. In addition, there is a grass landing strip as well as a lighted, concrete helipad with tie downs. With nine bedrooms and four baths, the lodge is set up to accommodate large groups of hunters or family and friends.

BIG MOUNTAIN RANCH

T

2,465± ACRES // CENTRAL TEXAS // UVALDE COUNTY

he Big Mountain Ranch is a 2,465±-acre property surrounding the northeast side of Uvalde, TX; adjoining the city limits with frontage on Hwy 90, FM 2369, and Hwy 83. It also offers over four miles of rail frontage. The ranch is currently being operated as an income-producing irrigated farm and hunting operation, with an ASR forbearance program as well. A cell phone tower—accessed by a easement—located at the top of Big Mountain also generates income.

This ranch allows several different opportunities and options for the prospective buyer. It offers great potential for material sales, conservation easements, solar power, residential and commercial development, and water sales. There are four permitted Edwards Aquifer irrigation wells on the ranch along with a few other domestic wells; gpm ranging from 790 to 1,500. These allow for an annual groundwater withdrawal amount of 1,691 acre-feet; 795 acrefeet of which are unrestricted and 895 are base irrigation groundwater. This water is currently pumped to six pivots irrigating approximately 650 acres. There is another pivot on the ranch that is currently not being used. The Leona River and Taylor Slough run through the ranch, holding pockets of water during normal rainfall along with a handful of tanks. The remainder of the ranch is dry cropland, native pasture, and brush. Four of the pivots belong to the ranch and the other three would need to be negotiated with the sale. The ranch is partially high fenced around the perimeter and also has some interior high fencing. Big Mountain itself is totally high fenced, consisting of approximately 600 acres which would make for a nice exotic pasture. The wildlife on the ranch is all native to the area including deer, turkey, quail, aoudad, and hogs. There are no minerals to convey with the sale and no current mineral leases. The only current structural improvements on the ranch are a few equipment sheds.
