Red Caboose Winery was officially permitted on October 8, 2005. Since then we have fermented 2005, 2006, and 2007 wines. We have now completed phase one
and two which is the patio and cellar. This cellar will function as barrel storage for aging wine and as a dining facility for banquets. In our banquet area we will be able to accommodate up to
30 people inside and 30 people outside on the adjacent patio.
Red Caboose is now a two year prize winning winery. We have won
awards with our Viognier and Cabernet Savigion.
Red Caboose winery is Green. Our design meets LEED green building criteria and meets or exceeds the USGBC standards. We are one of the few wineries in the country that is designed to those standards. By using geothermal cooling and chilling, collecting rainwater for irrigation, and producing our own electricity, we qualify as a sustainable building. Not only does it make good design sense, but it helps save the environmental impacts while saving energy costs. The new cellar, now under construction, is partially subterranean which provides more energy efficiencies, geothermal cooling, and cost savings.
Our winery and vineyards are located on the G Lazy M Ranch in beautiful Bosque County, south of Fort Worth and Dallas. Come visit Red Caboose Winery in 2008 and enjoy our 2005 and 2006 vintage wines.
We planted vineyards in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 2008. Red Caboose vineyards
has a total 9.5 acres after the 2008 planting. Our first wine production began in the summer of 2006.
