Discover the Story Behind Texas wine

Become a Texas Wine Ambassador
At Bingham Family Vineyards, the story of Texas wine begins in Texas soil. As grape growers and winemakers, we believe that understanding where our wines come from—and the people and places behind them—makes every glass more meaningful.
That’s why we’re pleased to share a special opportunity from Hill Country Wine Academy and Texas Wine Growers.
On Sunday, October 11, Hill Country Wine Academy will offer a one-day Texas Wine Ambassador Certification course at Schreiner University in Kerrville. Created for wine enthusiasts and industry professionals alike, the course offers an engaging introduction to the grapes, growing regions, history, and people shaping the Texas wine industry.
Participants will earn the Texas Wine Ambassador Certification and leave better prepared to share the story of Texas wine with customers, colleagues, friends, and fellow wine lovers.
Even better, all net proceeds from this special class will benefit Texas Wine Growers, supporting its work in education, research, and advocacy for wines made from 100% Texas-grown grapes.
