Welcome to Dos Rios Winery January 2026! Many exciting events are planned for this new year including Trolley Tour rides to the winery, January wreath making and wine tasting, first sips of our Chardonnay and other award winning wines, special pizza at bud break times each week, Valentine’s Day treats, and, of course, Mayfest. Kathy Olivares is coming back with the darling Nigerian Dwarf goats which are incredible. Come sip the Dos Rios Award-winning wines and delight in aromas of Cascabel Ranch goats milk soaps which are delightful, especially the crafted the Dos Rios Rouge. That was made with Dos Rios Lenoir grape juice. We will showcase the Lenoir soap made with grape juice and goat’s milk. Two wonderful soaps made with grapes and wines from Dos Rios and goats milk are ready. Mayfest Tickets $50/person available on webiste.

We are starting the Dos Rios Wine Club which will host special tastings of wine and treats.


The wonderful part of being an American and sharing Hispanic roots is that we have more than one avenue for art, language, culture and traditions. It opens up an appreciation for all forms of art from other cultures. Around Halloween, when everyone is getting ready to go trick or treating, I am reminded of my father, Candelario Ramírez’, “Calaveras.” Known at Central Drugstore in Laredo, Texas, for his winning sales skills and quick wit, Cande shared his love of poetry and writing by composing “Calaveras Literarias” for Día de los Muertos. He penned these short poems written to gently mock friends and family, to bring laughter, knowing that at the end, we are all mortal, and we will all be judged by how we lived our lives.

Calaveras Literarias Continue in South Texas. Make your reservations for November 1st or 2nd, taste our new wines and participate in the reading of these quaint poems.

Dos Rios Winery is located in historic Rio Grande City, Starr County, Texas. Our winery is the first and only winery in Starr County.

Delfino Garza, Jr. and wife, Nora Garza, started growing grapes on this beautiful property in 2011. This location has been known as Dos Rios because it is adjacent to the Rio Grande on the Texas side and the Rio San Juan on the Mexican side.

The Tasting Room Grand Opening by Rio Grande City officials was March 22, 2024. It was a standing room only event. Our first Trolley Tour Sip n See with RGC Bessie III was in June and we are preparing for many more. The Bessie III leaves its station in downtown Rio Grande City and provides a quick tour to be followed by a visit to the winery. Please send an email to nrgarza1971@yahoo.com if you would like to make reservations or text or call 956-645-4793.

With redirected addresses by the city, the new address is 1905 US Highway 83 West. We have not moved.

The best way to find us on Google Maps is with 1905 W Main Street, Rio Grande City, Texas 78582

Budbreak is in February, with leaves sprouting everywhere on the vines and the tiny grape cluster flowers showing by mid March. By April clusters are in and by May the clusters are filling in and ripening will begin soon. This is one of the best times to visit as you will seek grape clusters on the vines.

No winery in south Texas is growing and making wine from 100% locally grown grapes at their our own vineyard.

Come enjoy our award winning wines.
