  We enjoyed a beautiful day driving to Brenham and visiting this vineyard. The owner is to be commended for his hospitality and knowledge of wine growing in Texas! It really was interesting.Its a small place but so enjoyable! I highly recommend this!

  There is a small fee for tasting which is NOT shown on their website.The wine was generally not bad. There was a good selection of dry to sweet. Lots of narrow stairs to get upstairs to the tasting room. Could be a problem if you have bad knees.

  Very quiet and deserted, but at least it was open during the week. Very beautiful inside. Wines were good, not excellent. Friendly server though.

  They offer tastings and a tour of the winery. We arrived right after a tour and didn’t have time to wait for the next tour so we didn’t get that experience. The tasting is four wines for 5 dollars. They were heavy into the sweet wines, which I do not enjoy, but my companion liked several of them. The gift shop is quite extensive with some unique items. The locals seem to like the place as two of there wine club members bought wines while we were there. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

  we took a tour of this small winery and learned alot about the wine making process on a smaller scale. After the tour we had the option to try either dry or sweet wines and they even paired it with some food.

  It took awhile for the lady to warm up to us. the wines were pretty decent especially if you like sweet wines. they did let us bring our own food in when we bought a glass of wine. she seemed hesatant but she agreed. tasting was pretty cheap 5 bucks for four tastings and they even did a paring for 5 bucks with chocolate .

  I paid to take the tour of the winery. I had some questions for the winemaker who happens to also be the owner. I showed up early hoping to speak with him. I first spoke to a younger gentleman who worked there and he was very friendly but could not answer my questions. He told me I should speak with the owner. When I saw the owner I went up to him and introduced myself and told him I had some questions. He immediately got hostile and professed he was a nice guy but very rudely refused to answer any questions. I decided to tour the winery anyway since I had already paid for the tour. Upon entering the cellar I noticed it was cluttered and dirty as was the gift shop. It just so happened the day we toured they were releasing a 2007 Cab Sav. It was off color and terrible. I also tasted a white that was mediocre at best. The vineyard was not well taken care of with lots of dead grapes on the vines and gaps where vines had died and were removed. It was very clear that the owner had no pride in his operation and he was only interested in taking your money. Needless to say I left the tour early very disappointed and feeling ripped off. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

  Pleasant Hill Winery is just a short drive from our B&B. We send all our guests out to enjoy this lovely spot in the country. The vintners are extremely knowledgeable, the wines have won all kinds of awards and there is nothing better than sitting on their deck with a food & wine pairing! The Blac du Bois is wonderful with savory cheese and cheesecake!!

  We originally found this winery courtesy of Ant Street Inn. The Blanc du Bois was set out with cheese and crackers for the social hour and we enjoyed it while rocking on the second story balcony. It was heaven and for the first time in my life I got a second glass of white wine! I am a red fan usually and love it with Italian or for no reason at all! Anyway, I noticed a Pleasant Hill Winery flyer in the foyer the next morning and quickly added that to our weekend fun to do list. We arrived just in time for the last tour and took the sweet wine tasting so we'd be sure to get our favorite. The owner told us the family and vineyard history over tastings of the next several wines. We viewed the cellar where wine is fermented, tested and bottled. Very interesting and charming to see the small family business success. Some awards are displayed in their gift shop area and I saw mention of a port...hmm. Upon returning my last glass I noticed a port tasting offered. I couldn't resist. Who even knew there was a white port, or that port is made with brandy? Such a wealth of knowledge and such a wonderful hostess! We also tried the Rosso and Tawny Rosso and were amazed! They also have handcrafted artisan chocolate made with their port ;). We really enjoyed our tour and this was our last "big" event to cap off our anniversary weekend so it will be remembered. So a bottle of Blanc du Bois and Rosso Porte for souvenirs, we're feeling our way back to Ant Street thoroughly thrilled with our quick trip outside of Brenham. Now, if I could just get my new favorite wine in Houston!
