Georgetown Winery

Growing a vineyard in Texas isn’t the easiest thing to do, but the Marek and Hanus family didn’t have an easy start, coming from Czechoslovakia to America in the late 1800s. The winemaking passion began in 1891, when Winemaker Dan Marek’s Great Great Grandfather, Vaclav Hanus, planted and propagated over 100 grape varietals by himself. His fame spread from the small town of LaGrange, Texas, and folks would come from far and wide to bring his grapes home. Grandpa Hanus never charged anyone for them.
