A brief history

“Growing Benchmark Fruit Wine Enthusiasts Seek & Wineries Designate with Pride.”

Farmhouse Vineyards Marketplace in Johnson City, Texas, is our signature tasting room and retail outpost—bringing the spirit of the Texas High Plains to the heart of Hill Country wine country. Housed in a restored 1900s mercantile building, the Marketplace offers a curated experience of our small-lot wines, local goods, and true Farmhouse hospitality. Whether you’re exploring the 290 Wine Trail or looking for a bottle that tells a story of both place and people, Marketplace is where our guests sip, shop, and stay awhile.

While the Marketplace is where many first meet us, the heart of Farmhouse Vineyards lies in Brownfield, Texas, where our estate vineyard sites are rooted in the Texas High Plains AVA. Owned and operated by the Seaton and Furgeson families—two pairs of brothers and sisters-in-law—we represent eight generations of West Texas farmers currently cultivating over 7,000 acres of cotton, peanuts, black-eyed peas, melons, pumpkins, grains, Dorper sheep, and premium wine grapes.

We specialize in warm-climate grape varieties that thrive in our region’s arid conditions and high elevation. Our flagship white, Malvasia Bianca, stars in Boyfriend, Farmers Wife, House Wife, Sweet, and Holly Dolly. Our flagship red, Counoise (Tablas Creek clone), is featured in Cultivated and Revolution—and we remain the original and largest commercial producer of the variety in Texas.

While we are proud to craft wines under our own label, the highest compliment we receive is vineyard designation from the wineries we grow for—ranging from the state’s largest producers to boutique labels. That’s the true benchmark we aim for: to grow fruit that speaks so clearly of place that it earns its name on the bottle.

From responsible grazing practices with Dorper sheep to regenerative cover crops that enrich the soil, we approach everything with a mindset of sustainability and stewardship—ensuring the land is just as fruitful for future generations.

Whether you're sipping with us in Johnson City or standing among the vines in Brownfield, we hope you leave with a deeper connection to the land, the labor, and the people behind each pour.

Meet The Team

  • Tim Drake

    Tim Drake has been an integral pillar of the Farmhouse Vineyards story since 2015 & the inception of our wine brand. His career skill and vision is the very bedrock behind our highly recognized wine portfolio. With a winemaking approach rooted in structure, balance, and site expression, Tim brings a Northwest lens to West Texas-grown fruit, curating blends that are both bold and beautifully unrestrained.

    Tim began his career in Washington State in 1999, first working in quality assurance for Ste. Michelle Wine Estates before moving into the cellar. Over the years, he refined his technique at small, high-end boutique wineries, gaining experience from cellar hand to Cellar Master and eventually to Head Winemaker.

    In 2010, Tim and his family relocated to Texas, where he has since served as Head or Consulting Winemaker for several respected wineries across the state. His thoughtful, driven approach and deep understanding of the vineyard-to-bottle process have shape the identity of Farmhouse wines over the past decade.

    Though his wine making residency is with our friends & clients MRW, Tim remains the essential conductor in our winemaking process. His commitment to Texas terroir and the evolving quality of our region continues to inspire every vintage. Revolution is inspired by & dedicated to Spring Drake - whom without there would be no Tim.

Farmhouse Vineyards Cowgirl Clairette Blanche Bottle Preview
Farmhouse VineyardsCowgirl Clairette Blanche

A spunky little white grape with deep roots in Southern France, once holding court in places like Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Provence & now Terry County. Her name comes from the Latin clara, meaning “clear,” a nod to her lively pale straw color with clear intentions. Now saddling up in West Texas as "Cowgirl Clairette Blanche," she brings a bouquet of white petals, white peach, and citrus to the nose. She’s sunshine in spurs! We are farmers, 8 generations combined to be exact. Stewardship is our highest calling. Celebrating 15 years in the Vineyard and 10 years as a brand. "Clairette Blanche" is a reflection of our past & a promise to the future. 5 years of running Dorper Sheep in the Vineyards & on the Farm. The Ewes & lambs play vital roles, reducing emissions, harnessing the most natural of fertilizer programs + providing protein whose existence was picturesque before harvest. Coupled with precision drip irrigation, they've become an iconic part of ourWest Texaslandscape. Our efforts towards efficiency, sustainability, and viability are evident in multiple segments of FHV. Modest houses converted into tasting rooms, homegrown wine club provisions, repurposed and up cycled retail items—all in the name of legacy for our land and it resources living beyond us.
