There's a world class winery 9 minutes from the ranch! Congrats to William Chris Vineyards in nearby Hye, that was just name to a list as the 31st best vineyard in the WORLD! We have always enjoyed their delicious wine and beautiful Hill Country setting. And, conveniently almost in our own backyard. 🍷 Cheers!

This is a major first for the state's wine industry.

Robbin K Robertson is almost like our artist in residence at the ranch--she has captured it's spirit over the years in her wonderful and inimitable style. Lucky us! She just created this new beaut with so many fun "easter eggs" in it. She is selling a 16" x 20" version for $50 including mailing in a tube....makes a great holiday gift for those who have made some good memories here. To purchase, contact Robbin via email at [email protected]. And check out her website for other great pieces: robbinrobertsonstudios.com

It’s hard to believe it’s the middle of July. Everything at the ranch is green and blooming and pool is party ready. 🤠 Rancho de Vida

Well, the old cement pond was a-leaking so we replaced it with a bigger one with a deep end, “beach” area, deck with lounge chairs and a cooler. 🤠 Hat tip to Kevin of Marble Falls. A great place to soak up the sun and cool off this summer.

Wine Enthusiast, in their recent article, Five Wine Regions Vying to Become the New Napa, highlighted four wonderful wineries right in our backyard! Within 10 minutes of Rancho de Vida, you can be sitting and sighing, quaffing at William Chris Vineyards, Calais Winery, Lewis Wines and Crowsonwines, our favorites, too! Salud!
