About Winking Stars Sparkling Wines
For visitors exploring Central Texas and Brazos & I-35 Corridor, Winking Stars Sparkling Wines offers a useful contrast to the idea that every Texas winery visit looks the same. In Anderson, the experience is a tasting experience with a strong sparkling-wine focus, so the appeal comes from matching the stop to the style of day you actually want. The tasting has a more specialized focus than a broad red-and-white flight, which gives visitors a clear reason to choose it. Ask how the sparkling wines are made, which grapes are used and whether the current tasting highlights Texas-grown fruit.
Between the Hill Country and the larger metro areas, Central Texas wine travel tends to be more spread out. That can be a strength for visitors who prefer quieter, less scripted stops, but it makes current hours and realistic drive times especially important. Winking Stars adds a sparkling-focused wine stop to Anderson, giving the Bryan-College Station/Navasota corridor a specialty tasting experience distinct from conventional still-wine wineries. The specifics, not the label, are what give this place its character.
Current public hours are Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday; confirm before travel. Inventory and staffing shape what is available on any given day; check the day-of details. Because the room opens selectively, a call before setting out is the difference between a visit and a detour. Visitors will get more from the stop by asking what the winery is most excited to pour now. Texas wine changes quickly with vintage, sourcing and small-production availability, so the strongest tasting is often the one that follows the current lineup rather than a preplanned bottle list. Leave room for a recommendation and for the story behind the fruit.
