    Covington Cellars (Hill Country)

    Send a text Get ready for a tale of two states! In Episode 75 of the Texas Under Vine podcast, we’re heading to the charming town of Hye to visit Covington Cellars. We sit down with Proprietor and Founding Winemaker Cindy Lawson to discuss their fascinating journey from established roots in Washington state to planting a new legacy in the Texas Hill Country. It’s a rare look at a winery that successfully bridges the gap between two world-class wine regions located over 1,500 miles apart. Cindy shares the history of their Washington operations—which are still going strong—and the exciting evolution of planting a Texas vineyard to grow local grapes. The "secret sauce" here is their dual-location setup: because they operate in both Washington and Texas, they can offer wines from both regions at both tasting rooms! We dive into their beautiful tasting room design and the unique philosophy of bringing the best of both wine worlds together for a truly one-of-a-kind tasting experience.
