They apparently revamped the entire space and looks modernized. We came here for tasting first, like their other locations, you're allowed to taste up to four of their wines of your choosing. They have a mix of Texas and California grown wines that are processed in their facility. Eve was our tasting ambassador and she did a great job going through each wine and going through the recent changes in their premium memberships. They also have a restaurant on site that only take walk-ins for members only. Their outdoor patio space was also really, really nice with a view of their vineyards. We were disappointed they were out of some of their appetizers but we made do with the options they had available. All their food was great but their ahi tuna wontons were bomb in particular. This is their only kid-friendly and dog friendly location so we'll consider bringing our dog next time.

We couldn't even purchase a bottle to split and enjoy as a group because we weren't members. We were previous members of Kuhlman Cellars, before the property changed ownership, so we were excited to come back and see what the experience was like under the new ownership. Unfortunately, it felt very different. We decided to go ahead with the tasting and paid for four tastings, but our group was then split up and we were told we had to share tastings, which was confusing considering we had paid for four separate ones. By the end, the experience felt less like an enjoyable winery visit and more like a pitch to join the wine club and learn about the other affiliated vineyards. Overall, we left disappointed. We will not be back.

They had live music outside and a food truck, which was perfect since we grabbed some food while waiting for our reservation. The property is huge and beautiful.

Customer service here was unlike any other winery experience I've ever had. Only thing keeping this from 5 stars for me is I think the inside seating and decor could be improved.

The tasting room has lots of natural light. I live in Atl and I am glad I picked this spot. Their story also drew me and how Kalasi is intentional in everything they do! From the labels, snacks, names of wines, to the water cups. You can also see llamas, sheep, and horses on the land around. Beautiful area. Outside the area they have lawn chairs, to sit outside and tables on the outside. Lot of space for dogs and big groups.

During a safari, they…read morewitnessed the tragedy of rhino poaching, an experience that inspired them to get involved in conservation and create a sanctuary. Their 55-acre property became a home for Blake, their Texas-born rhino. And there is a winery here, too! Since opening in '22, it has become a natural extension of their passion for fine wine and a meaningful way to support their conservation efforts. The estate now includes nearly 10 acres of Tempranillo, Sangiovese, Merlot, & Malbec. With most vines in their 4th leaf, estate TX wines are still on the way, but visitors can already enjoy excellent Texas wines made from High Plains fruit along with South African ones. The McPhersons have helped craft many of the Texas wines, while Dr. Bob Young has contributed red wines aged in Texas oak. A team of South African winemakers helps support wines made from the Stellenbosch, Elgin, and the coastal area. The tasting room and back patio offer spacious seating, beautiful views of the Pedernales Valley, and direct views of Blake. The north-facing wine tasting patio is an extra plus design to have, especially with the Texas summer heat. For your testing selection, you'll have a list to choose from. For this tasting session a mix of South African & Texas (both reds & whites) were sampled. Starting off with the Sumatran Sparkles, this South African sourced bubbly is Pinot Grig based with notes of honeysuckle and citrus. Next from SA was their Wijde Sparkling. This white bubbly was blended with 53% Chard, 46% Pinot Noir, & 1% Pinot Meunier. It expressed itself with a floral aroma coupled with acidity and a bit of pear. Following that were two of the Crash label brands. Both Pinotage based, with the dry version a nice and light easy drinking wine featuring notes of strawberries with bright acidity. The sweet Pinotage bubbly version (lightly sweet) exhibited more of a cream sensation with a touch of cherries. Moving on to white wines, the first sipped was the '24 Albariño. This TX white wine has some good pineapple notes giving a pleasant tropical finish. The next white was the Texas High Plains 2025 Viognier. Sourced from Lahey, this one was quite impressive with apricot and lemon. The next Texas red was the '24 Horn Red Blend. This High Plains sourced fruit, comprised of 40% Malbec, 25% Dolcetto, 25% Sangiovese, & 10% Petite Sirah, had notes of clove and cherry going for it with even tannins and acidity. Texas Mourvèdre has been making big waves in the Texas wine industry, and their 2023 vintage has Grenache blended with it to yield an intense fruit forward wine with blackberry to satisfy the nose and palate. The final TX red wine sampled was the '24 Sangiovese. With cherry, raspberry, and a touch of spice, this classic Italian varietal was quite satisfying. For the South African red wines, the '22 Cab Franc was the first to sip. Part of the winery's Keras collection, this bold wine was loaded with big tannins and had a firm mouth gripper! Following that were two '22 Cabernet Sauvignons. One was also from the Keras collection with deep cocoa and raspberry notes and a fine tannic finish. Not quite as bold, but still big, the other Cab wine displayed more blackberry and plum notes with a bit of leather. Rounding out the tasting adventure was the '23 Five Species. This Bordeaux style blend had Cab Sauv, Cab Franc, Malbec, and some Petit Verdot blended to craft a well-balanced, smooth, and elegant wine to savor all evening. With a long family history in the Hill Country spanning more than a century, Craig & Chesney are adding their own chapter to the region's evolving story. The estate offers one beautiful surrounding scenery, dedicated up-close viewing sessions with Blake, and local artwork displayed throughout the tasting room. At its heart, this place is a true rhino conservation effort, strengthened by excellent wines from South Africa and Texas that help support the mission. It is a unique gem in the Texas Hill Country. Cheers!
