Pontotoc Vineyard Picnic Table

After establishing the vineyard and refurbishing the farm house, Carl and Frances purchased the turn-of-the-century sandstone buildings in Pontotoc, including what had been the grocery store, hardware store, post office, barber shop, garage, gas station, and movie theater, with the idea of making the town into the center of viticulture and enology in the Northern Hill Country. The buildings form the historic downtown and stand facing the ruin of San Fernando Academy. Over the course of a year, with the help of family and friends, they converted the oldest buildings, the grocery store, hardware store, and post office into the weinhalle and winery. Similar to the heurigen of Vienna and bodegas of Madrid, the weinhalle provides a family atmosphere in an intimate environment with exposed sandstone walls and an arched doorway that opens into the winery. The weinhalle and winery, along with the movie theatre, which provides a venue for film screenings, live music, and theatrical performances, are open for special events and by appointment.
