About Us:
Waco Winery and Vineyards will continue to make wines, hold tours and have weekend events at its facility at 6826 E. State Highway 6, but soon it will be adding a tasting room in downtown Waco.
Owner Jerry Federico and general manager Rebekah Gilliam are hoping to have that tasting room at 708 Austin Ave. open by the end of September. It will include a rooftop patio for the enjoyment of customers. Gilliam said music and dancing will be part of the activities at the tasting room, and not just on Friday nights like the “Wine-Down Fridays” it currently holds at the Highway 6 facility. Gilliam envisions music three nights a week and perhaps even a poetry night. She said everything about the downtown tasting room will be local – from local performers and artwork, down to the tables being built for the place.
