Haak Vineyards & Winery

About Haak Vineyards & Winery

Haak Vineyards & Winery began as an anniversary present. In 1969 Gladys Haak gave her husband Raymond two Concord grapevines for their tenth wedding anniversary, and the hobby grew into a three-acre vineyard of about 1,800 vines in Santa Fe, between Houston and Galveston. Raymond tried many grapes to find ones that could live with the Gulf Coast climate, and Haak became one of the first wineries in the country to grow Blanc du Bois, a hybrid that resists Pierce's disease. The winery began selling commercially in 2000.

The tasting room is open Wednesday through Sunday, and a curated tasting covers the winery's whites, reds and its Madeira, which Haak sells as the only Texas Madeira. Guided tours take you through the vineyard and the production area; tastings and tours can be reserved online. The winery's free wine club includes complimentary tastings and discounted bottles.

The calendar includes a Fourth of July party and a fun run, and the winery hosts weddings and private events. Haak also runs a tasting room in Brenham.

The nearest lavender farm, Chappell Hill Lavender Farm near Brenham, is about two hours northwest, so pairing the two makes a long day; Haak's Brenham tasting room is closer to the lavender.
