Great winery in Burton. They have a nice selection of dry reds and whites along with a few sweet wines. I really like their new Sauvignon Blanc!!Nice location to relax with friends. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend stopping in for a tasting. You will not be disappointed.

Stopped by whilst photographing wildflowers in the area outside the winery on Route 1948. Very glad I did so! Saddlehorn does a great job setting the Texas theme, as once you're down their driveway you'll come across what looks like a section of railway bridge spanning an old cattle pond. There's also a Remington-esque cowboy sculpture to greet you as you pull up to the red barn exterior. What can I say, after seeing so many places pretending to be Tuscany-in-Texas, I like their approach. There's a nice selection of wines, available as a flight of 6 tastes for $10. I particularly appreciated that in addition to the reds, they had a pair of rosé wines more than a few whites to try. Save for one selection that we found a little too sweet, the rest ranged from very good to excellent - so much so that we ended up taking home a bottle of their Riesling! In regards to a certain rating of this winery from September 2018 - I look pretty darned Asian and I experienced nothing but respect and friendly service from the staff at the Saddlehorn. Definitely a place that I'd recommend for a visit - as well as a repeat visit from me.

We were headed home to Austin from Houston and stopped by this winery midday during the week. Most other wineries are closed during this time, so it was nice that they were open. There was only one other group there at that time, but we didn't mind having the place basically to ourselves, but a little background music couldn't hurt! We each tried 6 wines. Each tasting is $10. I really enjoyed a majority of their wines. I even purchased the semi-sweet blanc du bois to take home. I'm looking forward to enjoying a glass of it this week! I would definitely recommend stopping by this place during your travels! There was definitely not a smell, as someone had mentioned below, and the sommelier was very kind and made some nice recommendations.

If you want to be discriminated against for being young and/or a person on color (Asian, Iranian, Mexican, White, Black). I would recommend not coming here. The place looks nice. They stop cooking Pizza at 3pm. The first thing you think when you walk in is, damn this place reeks of urine. The souvenirs are filled with cheesy rhinestoned attire. Walk outside on their patio and you will smell very strong calcified urine. The wine wasn't as good as Texas star. And the service was not as good as Texas star. (Go to Texas star) Show one ID = get one wine glass; that's fair. But what's not fair is being glared at by the guests and staff. We had one guy with us, over-served, loud and drunk. I was embarrassed. But I didn't over-serve him, and I wasn't being loud. Yes, they had to flag down our over-served friend because they asked for a card to start a tab and he didn't close it. (This place operates more like a bar and less like a winery). But you can just charge the card on walked tabs, like any other place... Actually, even after staff members realized that our guy was hammered, they still allowed us to buy 2-3 more bottles. If it was a TABC covert operation, they would have been fined. What we did get, was harassed, unwelcoming looks (you definitely feel like you are in a movie in the south where segregation just became legalized), and rude attitude from the bar staff. I'm glad we left; the wine here was not good and I would recommend skipping this establishment. (You can read the owner's comment to my review, to truly get an idea of what kind of establishment you are supporting.)

En route to Austin, Wimberley, Ledbetter and all other towns west of Houston, we like to stop into Saddlehorn Winery for a wine tasting, especially if we have some first-timers with us.The tasting room is in a restored/converted horse barn; and the 390 acre property is complete with vineyards, a small lake, bridge, parking, outdoor seating...Opt to do a tasting which includes your pick of six of their wines. They sell meat and cheese plates. And sometimes they sell pizzas (we arrive ten minutes past the serving time, which was a disappointment).Not into a tasting? Just pop in and enjoy a glass of wine. Wines by the glass: $7 whites, $10 reds

Perfect little winery for us to hang out a Saturday afternoon and enjoy with a group of friends drinking wine and talking stories and eating food! We could bring our own food and the staff let us know we could sit inside or outside . Outside was great with the field views and soaking the December sun in..-and drinking wine . We then went inside and that was equally comfortable ! The tasting went great with friendly service and we were able to hang out and talk in such a friendly and inclusive space . Had such a great time here and will definitely return !

Very cute spot and good wine. The service is always great and they have a nice setup inside and out. And they also offer fresh pizza! I hope over time that they add a couple of more menu options though.

We stopped by this winery when we were going to multiple wineries in the Brenham area. We were just in awe of the beauty both inside the tasting room and outside on the patio. The tasting selections were great too. We will make it a stop the next trip through for sure!

Cute place. Very roomy. Clean. Plenty of parking outside. We were the first to arrive Friday am when they opened. Tasting option is 6 for $15 which is a bargain these days. Missy, our server, was excellent. I enjoyed the Pinot and Black Spanish while my friend enjoyed most of the sweeter wines and Malbec as well as Tempranillo. On weekends I think they offer pizza. Will return, def recommend.
