Case Study: Lost Oak Winery

A rural vineyard in Burleson, TX that hosts tastings, food pairings, tours, concerts and weddings in scenic environs.
Lost Oak Winery has deep roots in Texas wine. Lost Oak’s origin began in the 1950s when founder Gene Estes made wine in a bathtub in his native Abilene, Texas when it was a dry county. It quickly became a passion. After living and working in Alsace, France, crafting the art of winemaking, he founded Lost Oak Winery. In 2017, Lost Oak was awarded for its leadership role in the dedication to, support of and promotion of the Texas wine industry. This is just one of the many awards given by the most esteemed international wine competitions in America, San Francisco International, San Francisco Chronicle, Lone Star, and many more.
