About Tara Vineyard and Winery

Tara Vineyard and Winery is a resort-style property in Henderson County that delivers one of the most complete wine tourism experiences in all of East Texas, combining 100% estate-grown Blanc du Bois wines with a fine dining restaurant, inn accommodations, and rolling vineyard grounds. The Pierce family created a destination where visitors can linger for an entire weekend without running out of things to do.

The estate vineyard grows Blanc du Bois, the Pierce's Disease-resistant American hybrid that has become the signature white grape of East Texas winemaking, on rolling Henderson County land. The wines are genuinely estate-grown, giving them a sense of place that many East Texas operations cannot claim.

The on-site inn and restaurant elevate Tara beyond a standard tasting stop into a genuine wine country getaway. The dining experience features locally sourced ingredients and menus designed to complement the wine program, reflecting the kind of farm-to-table integration rarely attempted in this part of Texas.
