About the Business
Dry Comal Creek Vineyards is tucked away in a peaceful valley of the Texas Hill Country, where the soil is formed of limestone, flint, and shale chips. This mineral-rich land provides an ideal environment for growing grapes, allowing our team to craft wines of unparalleled quality and character. Our work is done by hand, from picking to fermentation, winemaking and bottling. We strive to make our wines as unique as Texas.
The Tasting Room is open Monday through Sunday, except for New Year's Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Visitors will have the opportunity to sample the wines and appreciate the personal touch that goes into each bottle.

- Franklin and Bonnie Houser purchased 103 acres of land just outside of New Braunfels in the 1970's as a get-away home for their young family. The Dry Comal Creek was full of wild mustang grapes and dewberries. In 1992, the first vines were planted as a 'retirement project' for the retired attorney, Franklin Houser. Two catastrophic floods in 1998 and 2002, washed out the vineyards and the winery, forcing a major set-back for the business, but Mother Nature hadn't finished playing games, of course. In 2000, testing confirmed that the vineyard was infested with Pierce's disease, a gulf-coast bacterial pathogen that kills vines. On two occasions, an entire crop of diseased plants were ripped out. Essentially no grapes - no wine! Instead of folding up shop, the owners got creative and developed a series of core wines that no other Texas or California winery, for that matter, was making.
