Scout & Cellar
2261 Morgan Parkway, Suite 180, Farmers Branch, TX
Worth noting: Clean-crafted wines, women owned
Scout & Cellar stand by their Clean-Crafted Commitment and strive to bring you only the best high-quality wine produced sustainably and with conscious pesticide use. Their wine is made using grapes grown without the use of anything artificial, is produced without artificial ingredients (including added sugar), doesn't contain more than 100 parts-per-million (ppm) of sulfites and is independently lab tested to meet their rigorous standards.
The 2021 Dove Hunt Dog Sauvignon Blanc is a fan favorite, and they even carry some non-alcoholic wines if you are taking a break from alcohol but still want to enjoy a nice glass of wine at the end of the day.
Cassaro Winery
Worth noting: Awarded Gold in Lone Star International Wine Competition 2020
What started as only 10 vines in 2015 has now grown to nearly 2,000 vines’ worth of grapes bursting with possibility of what they may become next.
The Cassaro Vineyard is located just a few minutes down the road from their tasting room, and Texas wine doesn’t get any more local than this. Enjoy a glass while you sip alongside your friends, enjoy live music and take part in other fun events hosted weekly. The short drive from downtown Dallas will transport you to the idyllic countryside and to a slower, sweeter pace of life by the time you arrive in this stunning locale.
Wine Fusion Winery
603 S Main St #304, Grapevine, TX
Worth noting: “Best Wine Experience in Texas” Award

In this class you will get a flight of tastings, education and training on tips and tricks of blending techniques, plus a bottle of your own creation to take home. Besides learning and playing, you can also enjoy one of their many spectacular wines paired with the best cuisine. This winery is a great place to bring friends as their drink and food menu is quite expansive.
