Farmhouse Vineyards Marketplace & “Tipsy” Trailer — Restaurant in Johnson City

Owners Nicholas and Katy Jane Seaton and Anthony and Traci Furgeson helped Farmhouse Vineyard realize its next natural step in its evolution, which is making wine! Their 122-acre vineyard is located near Brownfield in Texas High Plains AVA. With 16 plus varietals, it has been the grape source for many well-established Texas wineries that we have all come to know and love. We were fortunate to visit their “new-new” location in Johnson City at their house on highway 290. The previous location was at a trailer located near the 290 Vinery. The newest locale is right on Main street in a renovated classic home. Location, location, location is everything to a business and this place is spot on! The owners do have plans to relocate the trailer to this new site soon. Their expanded tasting menu consists of two flights, one has the full range of sparkling to dessert wines and the other focuses on dry Rosé, Whites, and Reds. As one of the first vineyards that helped establish Malvasia Bianca as a viable Texas grape, they have made a sparkling version called Boyfriend. The 2017 vintage has lemon grass and apricot notes that just “bubble” all over your palate. Their 2017 Revolution is a dry Rosé sparkling made from Counoise. With strong raspberry notes, it is crisp with a nice finish making this wine quite enjoyable on warm Texas days. For the 2017 Bloom Rosé, you get to enjoy a 100% Mourvedre Rosé that is light and refreshing with plenty of strawberry and melon notes. You will be in for a treat with their Marché. Made from a blend of Mourvedre, Cinsault, and Tempranillo, this Saignee style wine may be different than most Rosé’s you’ve tried, but it is equally pleasing for the upcoming hot summer. There is a lovely red blend called, Ramble on which is a melding of Tempranillo, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. It is smooth and fruit forward and we believe most red wine lovers will readily enjoy. Wine tasting at Farmhouse, will also provide you with a rare opportunity and special treat! In their selection is one of Tim Drake’s legendary wines called Assistant. This House of Drake greatness blends 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and 9% Syrah sourced from Columbia Valley AVA in Washington. It is a superb dry red wine blend with a beautiful fruit finish that will leave you craving for more! Their semi-sweet dry white called Housewife is a Malvasia Bianca with nice melon and pear notes with just enough sweetness to boot. Lastly, you will get to enjoy their 2017 Sweet. This blend of Malvasia Bianca and Orange Muscat combines a bit of citrus and vanilla notes for something quite enjoyable and their sweetest dessert style wine. If you have visited the trailer before, now you have a new excuse to revisit and enjoy their expanded wine selection. The staff and owners are quite friendly and will make you feel very comfortable as they chat with you about the wines. We strongly encourage you to stop in and visit their new location and wish them well as they kick off this new phase in...

I'll start by saying the wines are pretty tasty and it's a cute tasting room. However they were supposed to give us a member discount on our purchase (they offered it) and when it was charged they did not give the said discount. When I asked about it the host said it would be corrected on the "back end" from their home office. I have yet to see the credit for the discount and it has been almost a week. I do nlt understand why there was no ability to void the transaction and redo the charge from the location. Wish this could be resolved. UPDATE, the managers response 👇 here is superb! Again the wines are incredibly tasty and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Staff was wonderful and friendly and we will definitely be back. It really would have been nice to have just voided and rerung the order. It isn't that it was a ton of $$ As a buisness owner myself I can't fathom why a void can't be done from...

Hidden gem at the end/beginning of 290 Wine Trail! Went in not expecting much and we were blown away by the wines and service at Farmhouse. The owners are farmers first, winemakers second and the you can tell that their grapes from the high plains are of the highest quality. Each wine we tasted had a unique flavor profile and was memorable. Sarah, who was pouring wine for us in the tasting room, was super knowledge about the wines, grapes, and winemaking processes as she is a winemaker herself. Incredible hospitality - the Farmhouse tasting room felt like sipping wine in the cozy home of some...
