What Makes This Place Different?

Heath Sparkling Wines is the only winery in Texas solely focused on crafting sparkling wines, creating a unique and luxurious niche among Texas wineries. This dedication allows them to offer an experience and flavor profile unmatched in the region.

My Wine Pick

The standout wine at Heath Sparkling Wines is undoubtedly the Blanc de Blancs. This 100% Chardonnay sparkling gem sleek and elegant with vibrant notes of apple and pear, creating a flavor that’s bright, lively, and irresistibly refreshing. This wine’s charm and elegance make it a perfect choice for any celebration or casual enjoyment alike, embodying the beauty of Texas wine.

History and Facility

Heath Sparkling Wines opened its doors with the goal of producing the finest sparkling wines in Texas, and it has remained true to this vision. Situated in a state-of-the-art facility in Fredericksburg, Texas, the winery’s modern architecture and sleek interiors reflect its commitment to quality and elegance. Visitors are treated to an immersive tasting experience within the luxurious tasting rooms, where the panoramic views of Texas Hill Country elevate the experience. The winery also uses innovative winemaking techniques, including small-batch production and rigorous quality control, to ensure every bottle meets their high standards.

When you arrive in the parking lot, you notice a definite attention to quality and beauty at their facility. The tastings are by appointment only, and cost $35 per person. While expensive, you will be tasting 4 sparkling wines along with 4 specially prepared food pairings, plus you get to keep the elegant wine glasses, so it is more of an experience than just a tasting. Our tasting steward was fantastic: knowledgeable, funny, and obviously seasoned in leading the tastings.

The Wines

Memorable Wine(s): Blanc de Blancs (Chardonnay based), Ebullience (Pinot Grigio based)

Overall value of the wines is good, as there are all good tasting wines with the most expensive (Adoration) hitting near the $58 mark. The others are around $55 per bottle. Note that Heath only produces four sparkling wines, so there are no real “red” and “white” wines sold there.
