What began as an acquaintance as winemakers in the Hill Country became a collaboration between William "Bill" Blackmon and Chris Brundrett, focusing on a shared winemaking philosophy. At William Chris, we agree that great wines are grown in the vineyard, and we also believe that wine should be inspired by the pleasure that is shared with an extended community of friends and family. The creation of each new vintage depends greatly upon these two priorities. We bottled our first vintage under the William Chris label in 2008, utilizing Old-World winemaking techniques to create a genuine expression of the Hill Country's distinctive terroir. The Old-World method integrates farming, tradition, and local culture, and Bill and Chris kept this in mind as they sought out a property to build our winery. Deciding on a pioneer farm settlement in the historic town of Hye, Texas, they began the project to restore a 1905 farmhouse, the future home of the original William Chris Tasting Room. With the winery and tasting facilities completed in 2011, we planted the Hye Estate Vineyard next to the winery in March of 2012. In 2019, we opened our new state-of-the-art Hye Society Members Tasting Room which is available by reservation to the public during the week, and reserved for our wine club members on the weekends. Today our goal is to consistently achieve a level of quality with our wines that represents the very best of Texas in each new vintage. It is with that spirit and pride in our process, our community, and this special place, that we inscribe each bottle of William Chris wine with this greeting: We are pleased to share a piece of our world. We welcome you to make a reservation to visit us for a tasting and a tour of our winery and vineyards in Hye, Texas, and discover more of our story and our wines at williamchriswines.com.William Chris Vineyards Address
