Vines on the Rocks

offers a friendly, family-operated winery experience in Dunlay, west of San Antonio. Conveniently located along U.S. Highway 90 near Hondo, the winery provides an approachable stop for local residents, couples, friends, and travelers exploring the communities and countryside of South Texas. Its relaxed setting encourages visitors to slow down and enjoy wine without the formality often associated with larger tasting destinations.

The winery is owned by Mike Brawley, who receives support in the winery and tasting room from his son Michael and daughter-in-law Kimberly. This close family involvement gives the property a personal character and allows guests to connect with the people behind the business. Vines on the Rocks officially opened on October 1, 2013, beginning its journey as a welcoming local destination along one of the region’s main travel routes.

Visitors can stop in to explore available wines, enjoy conversation, and experience the hospitality of an independently operated Texas winery. Its accessible roadside location also makes it convenient to include during a relaxed day trip through the Hondo area. With family ownership, an informal atmosphere, and genuine local personality, Vines on the Rocks provides an enjoyable South Texas tasting experience.
