Nestled in an 18-acre vineyard of decomposed granite gravel soil are vines that are meticulously nurtured by hand. Adhering to a “Farming First” philosophy, Perissos Vineyard and Winery ensures that every grape reaches its full potential.
When harvest time arrives, dedicated wine club members join in with five-gallon buckets and snips to gather the fruit and contribute to the product. This hands-on approach extends to all aspects of their operations, reflecting their commitment to building personal relationships.
“The best compliment we ever received came from two ladies who are Texas wine enthusiasts, trying to visit as many Texas wineries as possible,” says Managing Partner Dalton Humphreys. “During their tasting, they stated, ‘Everywhere we go, every winery talks to us about the wine, but you are the only folks who actually talk to us.’”
One standout example of Perissos’s community engagement was their eclipse event, planned over two years. Right in the path of totality, they sold tickets to 600 people from around the world. Afterward, as the weeks passed, they were flooded with calls, emails, and handwritten letters expressing gratitude for their hospitality.
“It’s not just once-in-a-lifetime events we create unforgettable experiences for. It’s everyday tastings or birthdays or rehearsal dinners,” says Humphreys. “We are building a community for people to connect. Wine just happens to be a tool we use to create those connections.”
