Open: Year-Round
History
This year, Delaney Vineyards is celebrating more than twenty years in the wine business. Jerry Delaney remains founder and sole owner of two operational vineyards and production wineries in the state of Texas. The winery is located in Grapevine, Texas and the main vineyard is in Lamesa Texas, a small town 60 miles south of Lubbock.
The Grapevine winery was completed in 1996, three years after the vineyard was planted. The first bottling production was summer of 1997. The Grapevine facility contains 10 lush acres of Cynthiana grapes. The Cynthiana grape remains the best southern-bred hybrid vine to grow in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex for a number of reasons. It thrives in the hard clay soil, or "red rock," found in the area. It also responds well to high humidity and hot summers.
