Ron Yates Winery

Ron Yates Winery brings a lifetime of Texas vineyard experience to the Highway 290 wine corridor in Hye. Ron Yates was the founding force behind Spicewood Vineyards before launching his own label, and his deep knowledge of Texas grape growing gives this operation a credibility that's earned in the vineyard, not just the tasting room.

The winery focuses on varieties that genuinely thrive in the Texas climate — Tempranillo, Mourvèdre, Tannat, and Viognier among them — producing wines that taste like Texas rather than attempting to mimic California or European styles. The approach is honest and terroir-driven.

The Hye tasting room offers an unpretentious, vineyard-focused experience where visitors can taste wines while learning about the realities of Texas grape growing. The atmosphere is convivial and educational without being stuffy.
