Visit Wales Manor for an afternoon of fine wine and wine education. Go on a tour of our commercial wine production facility, the first in Collin County Texas, and learn first hand how we cultivate, harvest, produce and bottle our award winning line of Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve and Rose Wines.
After the tour, sit back and relax with a FREE wine tasting, while you take in the view!
For smaller outdoor functions or integrated within the facilities as a whole, this area is surrounded by stone walls giving one the feeling sitting amongst 300 year old ruins. An ideal spot for an outside dinner or listening to music.
This is a wonderful space for small private parties and special events. Doors open onto The Patio and Crush Pad for additional entertaining and overflow. The Tasting Room Bar may be used to serve your wine needs and a remote bar may be set-up in The Patio.
This area, located between the Vineyard and Winery, provides a spectacular view of the vineyard. We have the right size tent to meet your capacity needs. Weddings and large sit down dinners are the favorite for this location.
The 5,500 square foot winery is an actual wine production facility. Located within the winery is the wine tank area. Imagine your guests eating amongst French Oak Barrels and Wine Tanks. Seating in the wine tank area is limited to about 40 persons. The Winery is closed to events during our production and bottling operations.
This sloping hill, located beside the winery, has been a favorite for our larger festivals. The site can accommodate up to 500 persons. Sit on a picnic blanket or lawn chair and listen to the band of your choice, or take a more active role and dance the night away under the nightime Texas Stars.
We are currently clearing the grounds for a day and lighted night-time picnic area nestled in the woods between The Winery and The Lawn. The Picnic Grounds will be open Spring 2007.
In April 2003 we will begin construction of a gift shop. Built to simulate the architectual style of old europe, the gift shop will carry carefully selected wine related items and furniture.
Also, we are proud to announce that T.B. Wales & Company will be using the Gift Shop to wholesale its jewelry and Certified Diamonds to the public. Established in 1820, T.B. Wales and Company has a long tradition of importing select itmes from throughout the world. If you are in the market for a certified diamond - Why pay retail? When completed, we will provide a link to the website as well.
