Press Release
Set to soft open on April 11, Charleston Taylor winery is more than just a brand, it’s a generational experience. Named for the owners’ children, the winery is dedicated to bringing people closer to wine in ways they’ve never imagined. Their mission is simple: to create unforgettable experiences from the vineyard to the glass, blending tradition with innovation to offer a space where memories are made. Whether it’s their unique “Well Aged” tastings in a historic 1800s well or interactive wine blending sessions, Charleston Taylor focuses on making every step of the journey engaging and approachable.
One hour from Austin and San Antonio, the Johnson City winery isn’t just about the wine; it’s about the experience. From immersive cooking classes to wine pairing lessons, guests are invited to discover wine in new and exciting ways. The story behind each bottle starts in their vineyards, where Cabernet grapes are nurtured to create wines that blend traditional and modern craftsmanship. The winery is known for its sparkling wines and an array of red wines specifically crafted to enhance the dining experience, especially when paired with their Italian-inspired cuisine.
In addition to the winery, Charleston Taylor has a brewery/restaurant, Black Chapel Brewing, which is carving out a name for itself with exciting craft brews, including their Prickly Pear Mexican Lager, made using prickly pear fruit from the property itself. The brewery also serves up what’s said to be the best pizza in the area, offering a laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere for all to enjoy. The taproom is designed for true craft beer lovers, brewing fresh beer on-site, which is served directly from the tanks. With over 4,800 sq ft of indoor space and beautiful outdoor areas, the brewery provides a welcoming space for families, casual visitors, and craft beer enthusiasts alike.
Charleston Taylor is more than just a winery and brewery—it’s a place where families can have fun, explore, and enjoy great food and drinks together. Whether a guest is visiting for a wine tasting, craft beer experience, or family dinner, the winery and brewery team is committed to delivering an unforgettable experience. The owners have created a space that is designed for the future—one where their children, Taylor and Charleston, may one day take over and continue the legacy of family, flavor, and fun.
Charleston Taylor winery and Black Chapel Brewing is where new traditions are made, flavors are explored, and moments are celebrated. It’s a place where everyone, from serious wine lovers to families looking for a casual hangout, can find something to enjoy.
