Chapelton Vineyards

Going to Chapelton Vineyards was definetly the highlight of my trip!!! We had a wine tasting at 1pm and arrived at 3pm. We were given a warm welcome by the front desk who was very niceWine tasting; (I wish I remembered his name, but fiance also works there and that's so cute). He was amazing! Very detailed. Definetly knew what he was talking about. I wish that next time, they able to develop a package that is maybe higher in price where it will include specific foods that can best pair with the wine that we are tasting, to me that would enhance the experience!Food; We order a charcuterie board and my favorite thing on there was definetly the apricot! It was so good and fresh!!!!We met with one of the owners, very nice man! He also invited us to a free tour and that was also very cool!!Coming back;Would love to come back!!!!

Sunday Afternoon we it made a Sunday Funday with the ladies. First off, I am truly grateful to my sister for ordering car service to drive out, because I would have been stressed out trying to get back after all the tasting (lol). Upon arrival we were able to view the winery from afar and it was absolutely beautiful and at that very moment, I knew we would have a pleasant time. We made it right at the time of our reservation, we were seated and given infused cucumber water (no cucumbers but it tasted of it). After a while of waiting, we were ready to get the tasting started. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and personable and we loved every moment of it. She gave us four selections at about 15 minutes apart. We enjoyed "mainly" the Malbec and the Viola, both were red. However, it was Malbec for the win for the day! While wine tasting we were able to order some shareable nibbles. We ordered the Flatbread with feta cheese and pesto with honey oil. Charcuterie board, Chicken Salad sandwich with salad and hummus with pita bread and veggies all were splendid and would do it all again. There is also an exclusive wine club one could join if ever inclined to. I say, one day to that, for now it was a great time, and we truly enjoyed ourselves and plan on coming back soon.

Visited Chapelton Vineyards the Saturday before Christmas with my family! I love wine and visit vineyards across the globe but I'll admit, I don't really go for a lot of Texas wines because they tend to be too sweet for my palate. Wasn't sure what to expect from Chapelton but, I wanted to go support. While I think walk-ins are welcome, I made a reservation a few weeks in advance for a group of 7. It's a "quick" drive from Houston. It took me about an hour and 15 min from downtown. The closer you get, the more sceniec and slightly hilly it becomes. The entire property is gorgeous! I can only imagine the beauty in the spring or during harvest. The weather was a bit rainy so we sat inside. Again, the entire property is beautiful. We initially planned on doing the signature wine tasting but after Alfredo, our wine connoisseur for the afternoon answered some of my questions (I am very well versed in winery visits), we opted to buy full bottles of wine and curate our own tasting. We ordered the syrah, the cab, the rosé, and the symphony. We also ordered the hummus, the braised short rib, and the flatbread.The food and wine are phenomenal! I've been on a white wine kick so The Symphony was my fave. I also enjoyed the rosé. Those in my groupwho preferred reds really enjoyed the cab. Great marks for the syrah too if you love a full bodied red. We did the tour with Alle and she was a wealth of information. Chapelton uses a variety of grapes and not only Texas grapes. Staff was awesome, shoutout to Alfredo, Samantha, Alle, and the executive chef! I look forward to visiting again!

First of all it's a hour away from Houston. I suggest book early. Beautiful location. It took the waiter about 30minutes to greet and help us (after we got to our seats) . We did have a reservation. When the waiter finally came to us he stated that they were short staffed. He did bring us wine while we waited. It took about 30min or more for our wine tasting and food. Side note the wine tasting & food is smaller portions (extreme) and it was cold by time we got it. The charcuterie board was good .Our waiter was finally able to give us the wine tasting at our table but it did seem like he was rushing because he was short staffed. We did get a free 15min tour. But overall we would not go again. Total waste of money ( just not worth it) too many customers doesn't seem like they have the staff to support. The views were ok. Not worth a hour drive. Not the best customer service. Wouldn't go out ‼

A good friend recommended I make the trip from Houston (1.10hrs) to Chapelton Vineyards and I'm so glad I did. On the way up, or down (not sure bc I'm bad at geography), we got caught in the bad storm and had to pull over for it to pass. The less than 1.5hr drive turned into a 2.5 hr trip so by the time we got to the vineyard, we were so turned off. As soon as we were seated, one of the owners came by to introduce herself and offered us a complimentary glass of rosè on the house. We settled in a bit and got to ordering. Before ordering a bottle of the Symphony, we tried out several other whites and although they were good, the Symphony stood out the best. As for the food, the menu is limited for those who don't eat meat so we ordered the flat bread and skewers. Our food was great and so was the wine. What was even better was the other owner, although it was past tour hours, took a group of us on a tour of the cellar. We learned the history of how the vineyard came about, how they cork their wines and everything in between. The tour was great and it only lasted for about 15-20 minutes. We then toured the rest of the vineyard on our own and took in the scenery. The grounds are so well taken care of, the staff was great and the food and wine was top tier. It was such a good time and I can't wait to go back.

When I saw an article about Chapelton Vineyard being black owned, I decided this would be a fun place to take my friend to celebrate her Bachelorette. It was an easy drive from Houston to Washington and Chapelton Vineyard was really easy to find. The property itself is beautiful. Outside the venue, you can play life-size chess and corn hole. The vineyard itself is relatively small and unremarkable. The venue offers complimentary tours on Saturday's during certain times. When we arrived (3 pm on a Friday) it was dead. We were greeted by a staff member who asked if we were members, to which we responded "no". (Sidenote: To become a member, there is a $250 "activation" fee which is incredibly odd)We were sat near the front with a view overlooking the property. This same staff member came over and asked how he could help us. I asked a few questions to help decide what we wanted. This individual was SUPER uninterested in helping us make any decision. I am unsure if this person was having a bad day, didn't want to be there or just didn't like us, but the service we had the entire time left a lot to be desired. We noticed that the tastings did not include ANY of the wines that were made from grapes harvested on-site. Honestly, I would not have driven here had I known that I would be sampling grapes from California. You go to vineyards to see and sample what is made ON SITE. And yes, they import the grapes and then ferment them on-site, but again, this was not the expectation when I drove here. To try one of the wines they make on site, you have to purchase an entire bottle. One bottle is $95, the other is $140. They state this is because they make them "in limited batches" but none of their wines are available as a glass. Why? On top of this, I am used to having really amazing experiences at Vineyards. Staff members tell you about the wines, ask if you are celebrating a special occasion, give you history about what you are tasting and what inspired the wine. We got none of the above. I don't know that I will be back, nor will I be recommending anyone visit this place. You go to a vineyard for an experience. If we wanted to "just sip wine" we would have gone to one of the numerous wine bars across Houston.

TikTok brought me here! Spent a long weekend in Houston to visit this winery and had a great experience. It's about an hour drive from the city and parking is provided. Jonathan was our host for today and he did a great job during the tasting starting with the history of the winery and the background of the owners and introducing the different wines and going over their flavor profiles. We ended up getting a bottle for the table and ordering meatballs and a charcuterie board to graze over while enjoying our wine. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and we were so lucky to have great weather that day, we were able to take nice photos and really enjoy our time there. Highly recommend checking this place out!

Great wines and a beautiful venue! Service is excellent and friendly. The villas are also amazing and a great place to stay for a weekend. The Bubbly Rose is a must try- such a treat to have with friends!!!

The only word to describe Chapelton is stunning! Incredibly kind staff (including the owners, Kurt and Michelle), beautiful views from the balcony, and of course great wines! I can't recommend enough! Will definitely be back soon
