My wife and I visited Cooley Bay Winery in Van Alstyne on a Saturday afternoon and had a great…read moreexperience. The venue has a modern, welcoming atmosphere with contemporary artwork, unique furnishings, and thoughtful décor that gives the space a distinctive character without feeling pretentious. We enjoyed two wine flights and found several favorites. The Peach Wine and Blackberry Wine were both excellent, and we especially enjoyed the Tempranillo Wine. The charcuterie board paired well with the tasting and made for a relaxing afternoon. The pricing was very reasonable. For two flights, a charcuterie board, and two bottles of wine, our total came to about $117, which felt fair and comparable to similar wineries in North Texas. If you live in or around Van Alstyne, this is a great local spot to unwind, enjoy some quality wine, and appreciate a little piece of wine country in your own backyard. We'll definitely be back.

It is connected to Ivanhoe Ale Works which I also reviewed independently. The cool thing about this place is that you can go back-and-forth between the winery tasting room and the brewery and the friendly servers take care of you no matter where you are. We also got to meet the owner, she was really friendly, down to earth, and we had some good conversations and got the learn a lot about her and what motivates her to do what she does... The wines were pretty good. She had a chocolate rosé that I found really tasty. Their Tempranillo is really and they are a great value. We will be returning soon

Customer service was amazing ... big thank you to Cheryl and Aiden for making us feel like we were part of the family!!! The food was delicious, we got the bread with herb oil and the wedge salad. So fresh and tasty, it's made to order! The wine flight was such an incredible value, four tastings for $10! I loved the Bois D'Are Red so much I bought a bottle to take home. My husband got the Ivanhoe Peach and he loved it! We will absolutely visit again the next time we are in the area! Maybe try the brewery attached next time which is in the old town cinema. They also have live music in the evening! What a great place with great people!

Landon Winery was near by and we stopped in. The place is big but with that small town, historic vibe. Very relaxing atmosphere. I got a glass of Tempranillo and she had a frozen "Swirl" - a blend of peach and sangria. That was good. My glass was excellent. They have a nice food menu as well. We'll come back when we're not full from "brunch". You can get drink to go as well - I guess the city is good with sip-n-stole. Service was outstanding. Pricing is on par for this type establishment - drinks were $33. before tip. I don't think there would be ideal for kids, but that's just a guess. Definitely will be back when in town.

My wife and I have wildly different tastes in wine but both found wines we loved and also had a fantastic experience. 2+ hours of talking to the owners and other customers about life, the universe, and, of course, wine! An absolute recommendation for a visit where you get to pick how 'in-depth' you make it. Take suggestions from both of the knowledgeable owners- they know their grapes, growing environment, and aren't afraid to be creative. What more could you want? Specifics: intimate, caring, and practically hand picked experience with great selection range; be open to trying new wines. Wine visit for people who genuinely love wine.

The owner, Jackson, had an incredible passion for his wines which were all made with grapes grown right on the property. He was very knowledgeable and gave just the right amount of education. It's great to drink some wine and leave with a little more wine knowledge than you arrived with. If you are looking for a great tasting experience which included several free tastings (probably 8 wines or so) and a few more for just $5 then please put this place on your rotation. You won't be disappointed and you'll probably leave with a few bottles of your favorites. Keep it up Jackson!
