Nestled in the Piney Woods of East Texas, Kiepersol Winery & Distillery is the perfect location to spend a weekend getaway. Tour the winery and distillery; dine at The Restaurant; enjoy the view of the vineyard; and retire to a quaint bed and breakfast, all of which are located right on the Kiepersol property.
 
The Distillery at Kiepersol offers a retreat from the hustle and bustle where three award-winning spirits are waiting to be enjoyed: Jimmy's Texas Straight Bourbon, Dirk's Texas Vodka and Pierre's Texas Rum.

Kierpersol's sixty-three acres of vineyards produce delectable red and white varietals that capture an Old World style. Sip a glass of the estate-grown wine from the  tasting room located at the top of the rolling vineyard which is built upon a Bullard Salt Dome, a geologic masterpiece from the Jurassic era.

Get dolled up for a night on the town in charming Downtown Tyler. Enjoy dinner at one of the delicious local establishments, offering both fine dining and casual options.
