At the edge of Palo Duro Canyon, on the outskirts of Canyon, Texas you’ll find a hidden panhandle gem in Bar Z Winery. Not to be confused with a vineyard, Bar Z works with Texas High Plains vineyard owners and takes their high-quality Texas grown grapes and makes them into award-winning, full-bodied red wines.
Founder and Vintner, Monty Dixon, would tell you he’s been making adult beverages since he was nine years old. In his elementary school library there was a book that gave crude instructions on how to make beer at home. Monty’s precocious and daring nature led to adventures in backyard chemistry. It wasn’t until his teens and young adult years that he would graduate to casual wine-making. But casual wasn’t enough for Monty.
This is no vintner’s hobby house. Bar Z Winery combines art, science, and years of experience to create elegant wines. Monty’s passion and hard work go into every bottle making these entirely Texan wines contenders on the world stage. Bar Z Winery has competed against Napa Valley wines, French wines – often considered the greatest – yet their native Texan creations have taken home the gold.
Much like his wine, Monty Dixon is unfiltered, robust, and wholly unique. If he has a free moment, he’ll happily bend your ear about the science of wine and Bar Z’s simple, yet effective philosophy: Let the wine be wine. Bar Z Winery prides itself on utilizing the unique Texas terroir to create a wine that expresses the hard work of the vineyard owners, the soil it was grown in, and the love of Texas shared by those who enjoy these unique, award-winning wines."Handcrafted, award-winning & distinctly Texan wines – full of flavor and bursting with personality." Located on the rim of the historic Palo Duro Canyon, Bar Z features wines made from 100% Texas grapes. Our patio also has one of the best views in Canyon, Texas!

We will be accepting reservations Monday through Thursday between 1:00pm and 6:00pm, with the last wine tasting being served at 5:00 pm. Our admin staff leaves by 6:00 pm, and the winery and gate will be closed at that time. If you have a confirmed reservation, and you need to arrange for an after-hours arrival, please make sure to call the winery and speak with one of our staff by 5:00 pm to provide us with your ETA and get instructions for getting onto the property.
IF WE DO NOT HEAR FROM YOU BY 5:00 PM, THERE IS A CHANCE THE FRONT GATE WILL BE CLOSED AND LOCKED, AND YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO ACCESS THE PROPERTY, SO PLEASE CALL THE WINERY IF YOU ARE RUNNING LATE.
Rest assured that even if you arrange for an after-hours arrival and the Tasting Room is closed, you can pre-purchase a bottle or two ahead of time on our website or by calling the winery. And yes, you can still relax with your wine and the gorgeous views from our patio when the Tasting Room is closed :)
Please allow 24-48 hours for a response to your reservation request. If you are requesting a same-day reservation during the week, or a reservation within less than 48 hours on a weekend, please CALL THE WINERY instead of waiting for a reply to your request. We typically check reservations throughout the day on Monday through Friday only, but if we are busy, we may not see your request until the following day.
