About Rowdy Creek Ranch

Rowdy Creek Ranch is a 450-acre outdoor destination in Gilmer that pairs wine tasting with ranch recreation — fishing, hiking, fire-side lounging, and nature exploration across a spectacular expanse of East Texas Piney Woods landscape. The ranch setting turns a wine visit into a full day or weekend of outdoor immersion.

The winery produces wines suited to the relaxed ranch atmosphere, offering approachable selections for visitors who may be more interested in the scenery and the fire pit than in discussing tannin structure. This is wine as accompaniment to an outdoor experience rather than the destination itself.

Gilmer, the 'Yamboree Capital of Texas,' sits in Upshur County in the heart of the Piney Woods, and Rowdy Creek gives visitors a reason to explore this part of the state that might otherwise stay off the wine tourism radar.
