Longshot Wine Bar And Tasting Room

Located in the oldest house of New Braunfels, this newest winery is bringing some nice wines to locals and newcomers of the area. Yes, it actually is the oldest house! Check out the historical marker out front of the renovated 18^th century Meriwether homestead, where you can read up on the historical placard out front about the history of this homestead which is now the current location of the winery. The inside renovations thankfully retained some of the original charm and exposed beams from the original architecture of the period home. Part of the experience of this winery is appreciating the space as you sip and enjoy the lineup. This is the dream come true of owner Jasper McDonald. Opened in November of 2014, this winery has a great location for foot traffic as it is in the heart of commuters and those seeking refuge from tubing adventures. Jasper has a vineyard out near Brownfield where he has been growing his own grapes for the past few years. Most of his grapes are sourced from the Texas High Plains AVA and California. In the tasting room, you get three free tastings from the wine list available. At the time of our visit, 8÷15÷2015, there were eight wines listed (three whites and 5 reds) plus the unlisted Malbec. We had six of them during our visit. The two sweet white wines, Jo Ann Semi-​Sweet and Cactus Sweet, are great summer time treats. The Jo Ann is more sweet than semi-​sweet, so just be prepared. It has some lovely orange notes. The Cactus sweet comes off as fairly crisp with some tropical notes. For the reds, the Tempranillo is a gold medal winner. Berries, coconuts, and vanilla meld in the tasting profile for this wine, which is a pretty good one to try. The Sangiovese has medium tannins and a nice long smoky flavor on the finish. The Malbec has great earthiness that we loved. Lastly, the Sweet Red was a nice treat for this hot August afternoon. It was a great refreshing drink at the end the day’s visit. Although it is sweet, it is not as sweet as the two whites and was quite easy to sip and enjoy as a refreshing afternoon wine. This winery is a great addition to the New Braunfels area. You’ll naturally feel relaxed and comfortable sipping your wine while surrounded by some great scenery. It’s a cool place to visit and we recommend you stop in and check it out. There’s a lovely outdoor sitting area in the front too, which should be great to check out in the coming cooler months of fall.

Fantastic place to visit! The tasting room offers samples of the winery’s finest wines. They have live music every Friday, and also host icefights with to ice sculpting artists carving 1 ton blocks of ice. The location of the tasting is room is perfect! It’s a few blocks from downtown new braunfels and a stones throw from Landa Park and Wursthall!

A wonderful place to be able to sit back, relax, listen to live music, and enjoy some amazing wine! They also have exciting events like Ice Wars and Ice fights where you can watch people create ice sculptures with chainsaws! Whether your looking for a quite night out or an awesome event to take the family I would absolutely recommend you check out Longshot! My personal favorite is the Acai, you won’t be disappointed!

Amazing little wine dive. It’s the oldest house in New Braunfels and a super quaint place to bring that special person in your life! The wine is awesome and most of it is made with Texas grapes. Love, love, love this place!

I live right across the street and it’s the perfect place to wind down after work. The owner is so knowledgeable and caring. I suggest the Acai. And get a cheese plate!!!

The wine is amazing, the Sunday Brunch is the best I have had in New Braunfels. They just kept putting gourmet food in front of me and refilling my mimosa! I tried a grapefruit mimosa and peach, also orange juice of course. This is now my 10 – 2 Sunday stop

The Acai is delicious! Very different. The building appears to be an old house. Nice area outside and the have an area set up for Corn Hole

I’m so excited about this place. It’s a little gem in New Braunfels. I’m not a Texas wine fan, but this place is different. It’s Texas wine with a Spanish flair. We went two nights in a row and look forward to returning again. It’s only been opened for about a month since they’ve opened and I’m excited to see them grow.

I love this place! My favorite wine bar in town. I strongly suggest trying everything! The owner and friends are kind and welcoming. This is the perfect place to spend time with friends and sip on excellent wine. Great live music!

Great time with my book club pals at the new Longshot Winebar across from the Landmark. Wonderful vibe. Really tasty private label wine. Owners of establishment went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at home. Plan to go back many times!

Great little wine bar and tasting room! Nice staff and awesome owner. Definitely a good addition to New Braunfels! The winery is located in Texas so it’s nice to keep it local
