Chef Jeff
The Cellar Door sits just the other side of the Winery’s barrel room and is separated by the beauty of the “Cellar Doors.” These doors originate from Argentina and were handcrafted in the 19th century. The TARA team revamped the doors to suit the “Cellar Door”, these doors are beautiful and nicely compliment the overall dining environment. Up above, you’ll note the ongoing video of the restoration of the mini-mansion including footage of the largest home ever moved in Texas. In the Cellar Door is the very special wine shaped Wine Bar handcrafted by the TARA team. Over the Bar sits hand made lamps made from TARA wine bottles.
On select evening, live music just above the wine bar … indoor deck of the Cellar Door. Thursday night live jazz while you wine and dine.
