Bendt Distilling Co.

Whiskey distillery in historic Old Town Lewisville, Texas. Tours offered weekly on Friday and Saturday, with reservations available online. Full craft cocktail menu offered, with non-whiskey cocktails available (vodka, rum, gin, agave), as well as house-made craft sodas.

Reviewed By GoWanderlove - Dallas, United States

If you enjoy small batch, craft whiskey, you will LOVE this place! I had the whiskey flight (who knew?) which had four samples ranging from a blended whiskey cocktail to a straight rye and my date had an old-fashioned which he said was outstanding. It is a darkish, cozy place with lots of wood on the walls and tables. The service is top-notch (thank you, Marcus). One last thing, you MUST try the homemade whiskey cake. It's not for the faint of heart. Made with Bendt whiskey and then soaked in Bendt whiskey. A word of caution: Do not eat and drive. :)

We stopped in for a quick visit on the spur of the moment but ended up staying for over an hour because the atmosphere was so great. There are lawn games that our kids enjoyed and great Belgian style ales—husband enjoyed the Belgian quad. The kids enjoyed the craft sodas. They were starting a Harry Potter trivia game just as we were leaving. Don’t miss this fun spot if you are in the area! Check the hours on the website.

Visited Saturday evening, watched the gorgeous sunset fall over the patio that’s situated perfectly to see the amber glow fall across the vineyard. Wonderful setting, beautiful architecture comfortable feel when your inside. Sat along the wrap around bar and had the wines produced from the 3 Texans vineyard, all of which were superb. The owners are hands on, serving and suppling information on the differences in the wines. Made me feel very welcome and comfortable. Definitely a great place to go check out, well worth the short drive off I-35 when your in the Temple area. Will definitely be making more trips to visit.

We were renting a vacation home in Lago Vista for a family 50th birthday celebration. We had read good reviews of the winery and decided to enjoy a night off the lake for dinner. We were so glad we made the drive to the beautiful winery. The table was set up nicely for our family of 10 and the menu had many great options to suit our family with dietary restrictions. The birthday girl even got a personalized bottle of wine. The owners were very friendly and accommodating!

Excellent vineyard to visit if you’re looking for a tour, insight to the production / supply chain, great ambiance, and a great wine testing experience. As a Napa / Sonoma veteran, this is as close as it’ll get to that within the “TX wine country.” Staff was extremely friendly and did not overly pressure to join the wine club. Wine quality was also superior to other local vineyards. Likely to return and recommend to others.

Messina Hof Winery

Founded on the cornerstones of family, tradition and romance, Messina Hof Winery & Resort has held its place as a Brazos Valley staple since its founding in 1977. It is the estate winery where the Messina Hof winemaking team crafts our world-class wines. Messina Hof had humble beginnings as founders, Paul Vincent and Merrill Bonarrigo ran the lab, tastings, etc right out of their living room. Our current Tasting Room, also known as the Guest Center, was the rebuilt home that wa originally the Ursuline Academy, which was an all girls school. The original brick from the home was used to build the Tasting Room that guests can still see today.
