Did you know that when you visit Ivanhoe Ale Works, you’re stepping into a piece of Texas history? Ivanhoe was founded in 2015 by the same family behind Homestead Winery, creating the first conjoined, family-owned brewery and winery in Texas. But before the brewery’s first batch, the Parker family’s winemaking journey was already a celebrated story.

Homestead Winery, established over 30 years ago, is a testament to the Parker family’s dedication to fine wine and Texas tradition. What started on their family farm in Ivanhoe, Texas, has blossomed into a regional favorite, known for wines that truly reflect the Texas landscape. With a vineyard rooted in rich soil, they replaced crops like wheat and corn with Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes, transforming their land into the home of exceptional wines. Every bottle tells a story of craftsmanship, showcasing the family’s commitment to producing quality wines that embody the heart of Texas.

History Behind Every Glass of Wine

Homestead’s award-winning lineup spans from robust reds to crisp whites, all crafted with the care and attention you’d expect from a family with deep roots in agriculture. Whether you’re savoring a glass of their smooth Merlot or crisp Chardonnay, you’re not just drinking wine—you’re tasting decades of dedication, passion, and pride.

The Parker family’s step into the world of craft beer with Ivanhoe Ale Works might have been a bold move, but it’s their foundation in winemaking that grounds them. The same creativity and attention to detail that made Homestead a household name now shines through in both their wines and beers. So, whether you’re a long-time wine lover or just starting to explore, Homestead Winery offers a rich experience that honors tradition while embracing new flavors.

Raise a glass and enjoy a taste of true Texas tradition with Homestead Winery—where every sip is a celebration of family, history, and the land that makes it all possible.
