WHISTLING DUCK VINEYARDS AND WINERY began with John and Kari Cooke and Stan and Mary Beth Johnson, who started with 50 vines in 2007. Today, those 50 vines have grown to cover over four acres. The Cookes and Johnsons have worked very hard at creating wines that draw in guests from all around the area - and the word is spreading fast.
Although it’s the outstanding wine that keeps guests coming back, it’s also the consistent flow of entertainment that they find at The Duck, an affectionate moniker given by their fans.
“We do have live music every Saturday,” said John. “We try to book a variety of musicians. Some have become fan favorites, but we try not to repeat a band for two to three months. We also have First Friday where we do live music and we’ve started adding music on special weekends, as well. We have certain food events. Every Thursday is Pizza Night and we’ve started a new event called Triple D at The Duck. It’s dinner, dancing and drinks, and we’re looking to do that quarterly. We want it to be a nice date night for folks. We’re also bringing back Dining in the Vines, an annual event that sells out fast.”

Whistling Duck offers several delicious appetizer and meal selections from their kitchen and frequently offers different selections, including visits from popular food trucks. Guests are also welcome to amble down to the pond for a glimpse of some wildlife or fragrant wildflowers, sit under the large oak trees dotting the property, or take a stroll through the vineyard to witness where their wine began. And don’t think you have to leave the family at home.
“Remaining kid and pet friendly is important to us,” said John. “One of our goals is that we want people to feel like part of our family. We welcome kids to roam around a little bit and even allow them to bring their fishing poles and fish in our stocked pond. We want everyone to sit back, relax and enjoy the laid-back and fun atmosphere of this little piece of the Texas countryside.”

CITY PARKS AND OPEN SPACES improve our physical and psychological health, strengthen our communities, and make our cities and neighborhoods more attractive places to live and work. Weimar’s abundance of outdoor spaces is a boon for both visitors and residents alike, and a source of pride for Weimar Mayor Milton Koller.
“When the master plan we put together for the community came out, the priority for folks was recreation for the youth,” said Koller.
ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL
CATHOLIC CHURCH is located at 410 North Center Street and is a popular destination among those interested in history and architecture.
The church was established as a Mission in 1888, by Father Edward Brucklin, who became first resident priest in 1892. The imposing edifice was constructed of Elgin brick by Italian and Mexican craftsmen directed by contractors L. M. and J. C. Dielmann of San Antonio. The Gothic revival architectural style reflects the central European heritage of the Czechoslovakian and German settlers.
