West Sandy Creek Winery is a 360-acre ranch at the edge of the Sam Houston National Forest near Huntsville, Texas. We are a family-owned and operated business, founded on our decades-long love of wine and winemaking. Our property features the vineyards where we grow our own grapes, the winery and tasting room, several log cabins, and plenty of room for the animals that call the ranch home.
Services
After harvesting by hand by family and staff, grapes are delivered to the crush pad where they are sorted, de-stemmed, and pressed on their way from fruit to juice. The juice or must is then pumped into fermentation tanks or food-grade macro bins, depending on the specific wine being made. Once in tanks, the wine is carefully tended and maintained.
From the three varieties of grapes we grow, we produce nine distinctly different wines: four Blanc (sweet, dry, oaked, and dessert); three Lenoir (sweet/blush, dry, and port); and two blends - Bounty Land Crossings, a Tempranillo/Lenoir blend, and our rose', a Blanc du Bois/Lenoir blend.
We focus on making wines from grapes grown on the property, but we are expanding to include grapes grown in other parts of Texas, such as purchasing Texas Malbec wine and other white grape varieties to expand our wine cellar and offer more varieties of wine to our customers.

I met up with a group of friends here and it was so nice! I had driven past this road so many times and never knew what a beautiful place was down this small gravel road! We sat outside and for June it was very pleasant under the awning. A nice breeze kept coming in. The whole place is very scenic and we really loved the z'donkey and other animals all around. Overall, just an amazing experience!

My wife and I booked a stay with our infant and some of my in-laws for mother's day weekend. It was our first vacation in over two years and our first vacation with our 10-month-old daughter. John was very communicative, answered all our questions, and made our stay such a great pleasure! The cabin and all of the amenities inside were very well taken care of, and we had everything we could possibly need (other than food, obviously). The cabin came with satellite, fast wifi, a laundry room, several books, UNO, and a deck of cards - what else could you ask for?! We stayed in the 4-br cabin,

Small winery, intimate feel. We met Sandy himself, and he's a fun one!
We tried 6 wines here:
- 2018 Texas Blanc du bois (sweet)
- 2020 Blanc du bois (dry)
- 2020 Old World Blanc du bois
- 2018 Pink rose of Texas
- 2017 Texas Lenoir
- 2014 Bounty Land Crossings
My favorites were the blanc du bois (not the sweet one). I think I remember Sandy saying that Old World was made with oak..? Or something like that. Regardless, we ended up buying 2 bottles each of Blanc du bois and Old World blanc du bois (they have a 25% off special when you buy 4 bottles!).
My only complaint is that they had

Four of us in our party had a delightful visit to WSC today. I couldn't remember what wines I purchased a year ago and Sandy checked his computer records & found my previous order. That was personalized service!
The wait staff informed us that due to Covid regulations we would sit at our table and order thru the staff and they would bring food truck orders or merchandise to our table. Great service!
Then I asked Sandy to recommend another winery to visit for our afternoon fun. He called a brewery which wasn't open but then phoned another winery to expect us which was another delightful

The setting and staff are awesome!!! The wines are good. I say "good" because our palate leans towards a dryer red. They have a lot of sweeter wines and we ended up enjoying those. Those wines were even considered great to our friends. We enjoyed a fire outside with several VERY reasonable tastings so that we could try a lot of variety. The only disappointing part is that they don't offer wine by the glass and a lot of their bottles aren't available for tasting. All in all, we will go back and share a bottle of what we took a chance on and ended up enjoying!

We decided to go the day after Christmas and from the moment of booking reservations, I knew this place was special! The owner himself answered the phone and let me know a little about the place and was so friendly and down to earth!
When we got there, he already remembered my name before I could tell him who I was and got us to a table where helped us understand how menu works and was able to recommend the wines I might like most!
The property is gorgeous and has zebra and Zebronkies which we were given the opportunity to feed and made for beautiful photos!
We ordered Tapas due to the limited

Beautiful place with outstanding staff. Every single employee was super friendly, very knowledgeable and helpful. Not to mention I loved every single wine I tasted! I highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone. They have cabins to rent through Airbnb, beautiful scenery with an assortment of animals to feed a many acres to walk and explore. I will definitely make an effort to return!

We were blown away by the property, super friendly and welcoming employees, the wines, as well as the animals here! The whole property and the land is spectacular. The owner introduced himself upon us entering the winery which was definitely a very personal touch. The donkey, zebra, and the two zeebronkies were adorable and such a fun added bonus to our experience. I highly recommend paying this place a visit. It's a lovely experience. Thank you, West Sandy Creek Winery!

Our favorite place! We have enjoyed visiting them since they opened and we love coming out to see the amazing staff and drink some delicious wine. The family-friendly atmosphere is great for everyone; adults can enjoy the wine and staff and the kids are welcome guests and can run around and play on the property and visit with the zebras, donkeys, Joey the camel and many other animals.
Sandy and Diego are such gracious hosts. Ten days before our scheduled wedding, we had to cancel it due to an issue at the venue. We were in a pinch and on the offhand change, we called to see if there was any

Surprise surprise surprise! This is a amazing winery without having to drive to the Texas Hill Country around Fredericksburg or fly to Napa Valley.
First off the drive here from Montgomery was beautiful. BRING YOUR KIDS! The winding curves, amazing green pastures and beautiful National forest was so peaceful and serene!
Then the drive into the winery opens up into the coolest farm, zoo, winery, with open spaces, chickens, stables, vineyards, etc., Hey they even grow their own grapes. And these were not planted yesterday. There are some old (by Texas wine standards) 5 and 10 year
