French Valley Vineyard takes home top honors at the 2026 TEXSOM International Wine Awards

We won some fancy wine awards. And no, you don't need to know anything about wine to appreciate this.

Here's the short version: we entered three of our wines into a really big national wine competition called the TexSom International Wine Awards — and all three came home with medals. We're pretty pumped about it and wanted to share the news with the people who matter most: you guys.

Judges' Selection — the judges loved it so much they gave it a special shoutout

Gold Medal — as good as it gets

Gold Medal — two golds, no big deal

These are all 2023 vintage wines — meaning they were made from grapes we grew and harvested in 2023. That was a really good year for us out here in French Valley, and apparently the judges agreed.

We're not here to make wine complicated. We never have been. Whether you're a total wine newbie or you've been sipping for years, our whole thing is making sure you feel welcome, have a great time, and leave with something you genuinely love.

These awards are just a nice reminder that good wine doesn't have to be intimidating — and that what we're making out at the vineyard is something really special.
