Chapelton Vineyards
Welcome to the Texas countryside where you can relax and enjoy a selection of local wines, celebrate a milestone, escape the city for a weekend in our villa, and spend time reconnecting with yourself and loved ones. Our mission here at Chapelton Vineyards is to provide you with an environment where premium wine is our priority, and to create opportunities for you to explore your wine knowledge further. We invite you to taste our wines, relax and unwind, and enjoy your time with us here. The vision for Chapelton Vineyards was born out of the Lyn’s love of the countryside. Living most of their life in the city, when they discovered Washington, TX, they fell in love with the relaxing experience, rolling hills, and of course the sunsets. After they bought property and built their personal home in Washington CO, they wanted to share their experience with others and bought more property in 2018 where they started the foundation for what is now Chapelton Vineyards. The vineyard was planted in 2019 & 2020, and the foundation of the winery building was poured in February of 2020. We are excited to continue to expand and grow our production facility as well as our estate vineyard. Follow us on social media to stay up to date on all of our upcoming events and releases!
