Gadela Winery — Restaurant in The Woodlands

We visited this place, and what a wonderful, and pleasant surprise. Franco a wine lover at heart, and his super loving supportive wife Brenda welcomed us into their adventure. Spending over three hours wine tasting, talking to guests (Lon & Sandy), and learning how the hobby became part of this beautiful community of Wine loving Boutiques in Texas, was the best thing we could ever done yesterday. Brenda shared their interesting beginnings in the business, and Franco let us dig on his knowledge as he shared past, present and future taste endeavors. The couple, with Nicaraguan-Venezuelan background and her strong Puerto Rican influence make a unique wine maker combination. Their taste pallets are unique, and it shows. Franco has been able to develop explosive flavors on both dry and sweet exclusive grapes, rarely seen by us in this part of town. In our humble opinion they are extraordinary. On the sweet red pallet, the Serafin (Port Style) is a must have. On the whites, the Brisa is the go-to. We purchased a bottle of each. All are good, and other alternatives will be the Kerubim, Nebbiolo, and the Pettit Sirah. There is something exquisite for every individual taste. Come open minded, this is a place for free spirit, explorer like individuals looking for wine taste pleasant challenges. Gadela Winery is a hidden secret that taste hoarders wished to keep for themselves, but not anymore. My recommendation, you should try it before they have to place flow controls on their entry door. Thanks Brenda and Franco for such...

My wife and I booked an appointment with Gadela Winery on May 9th to see what the talk was all about after reading the reviews online.

We were really happy to meet the owners Franco & Brenda and Franco did a really nice job telling us all about the company and what “GADELA” stands for (I won’t tell you because you have to visit to find out). After spending some time conversating with Franco with my wife and I, then the wine testing started.

My wife and I use a 5 star system when we do wine tasting and out of the 8 wines each we tested, only one of my testing received a 2 star and the other seven receive a 5 star. My wife had one 3 star, two 4 stars and five 5 stars.

The results of our tasting had nothing to do with the quality of the wine but the quality of our taste buds and everyone has a different taste bud and appreciation for the taste. All in all, before we left we purchased 5 bottles of wine and a compress gas bottle opener and even some food which we couldn’t finish.

We had a really good time and took photos with both owners and plan to be back. If you want a really nice place to go and chill out in the late afternoons and consider yourself a wine drinker, you need to stop by this place. I can guarantee you that you won’t go home empty handed and the host is a lot of fun...

Discovered this Winery lounge not too far from our home and what a delight it is. Upon entering this converted 2 story home we were immediately greeted by the owner Brenda who welcomed us and made us feel right at "Home!" She gave us a brief history of this pleasant establishment and afterwards introduced us to the process of choosing a wine suitable to our palette. To be honest with you, what drew my wife and I to Galeda's was their assortment of empanadas, especially the ones from Puerto Rico. They also had empanadas from Colombia and Argentina. After choosing a red blend Kerubim bottle of wine 🍷 which was absolutely delicious, we ordered the full gamit of all the empanadas. They were all delicious, especially the empanadas from Puerto Rico. Brenda's husband Franco, also greeted us and treated us like family. The place is truly a gem, decorated in good taste. We felt as comfortable as if we were in our own home. If you're looking for a place that offers great hospitality and comfort, along with excellent wine choices, then Galeda Winery is the place to be. Warm and inviting, it's romantic and charming. We had a great time and have already made plans to return. Highly...
