About Hilmy Cellars

Hilmy Cellars is a family-owned artisan winery on US-290 that focuses on hot-weather varietals uniquely suited to the Texas Hill Country climate. Rather than fighting the heat with cool-climate grapes, Hilmy embraces it, working with Mediterranean and Spanish varieties that actually prefer the long, warm Texas growing season.

The tasting room offers a relaxed, patio-friendly experience where visitors can sample wines while enjoying the Hill Country breeze and vineyard-adjacent views. The atmosphere is unpretentious and welcoming, with knowledgeable pourers who can speak to the why behind each variety and blend.

The wine portfolio includes Tempranillo, Mourvèdre, Grenache, and other warm-climate varieties alongside refreshing whites and rosés designed for Texas porches and summer afternoons. The quality-to-price ratio is consistently strong.
