Wineries Downtown

There are three wineries that are, pretty much, in downtown. One is off Lemmon and Inwood. Another is in Deep Ellum. The third is in the Design District.

Farqua Winery is run by the extremely affable Lee Farqua. Their tasting room is easy to find. Just follow the signs off Lemmon. http://www.fuquawines.com/

The winery in Deep Ellum is run by a charming young Frenchman named Benjamen Calais. When you go, make sure you have change for the parking meter. It is in Deep Ellum after all! Young Ben's mission is to produce wines that are not so expensive that people hesitate to treat it as a beverage. I think he is successful. http://www.calaiswinery.com/

Inwood winery is a little hard to find. It is easy to become convinced that as you continue to drive into the office/warehouse complex that any second you will reach the absolute end of the earth. The effort will be rewarded. Just keep going until you find it!http://www.inwoodwines.com/
