Larry and Karen began to dream about magnificent vineyards and possibly even creating wine while traveling around Italy, France, Australia, New Zealand, and other exotic locations. When Wild Stallion Vineyards was founded in 2009, that goal became a reality! In 2008, Wild Stallion Vineyards planted a small test site of Blanc du Bois grapes, a variety of the widespread Vitis vinifera that is best suited to the Gulf Coast environment. Blanc des Bois grapes create a dry, fruity wine that has received numerous national and international prizes. We currently have nearly three acres of trees planted, and they are doing fantastically! We planted two more acres directly adjacent to the Event Center in the spring of 2015 to provide our guests a closer look at the vines. A vineyard is the most tranquil and lovely location for a wedding. Who wouldn't want to exchange vows in front of a vineyard? Wild Stallion Vineyards is Harris County's lone vineyard, so you won't find anything like it anywhere else. The Wild Stallion Event Center is the ideal location for your next birthday celebration, family gathering, business meeting, wedding, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, or any other event that would benefit from a gorgeous vineyard backdrop. Our event space can accommodate up to 150 people, but a gathering of 125 people is perfect, especially if you want a huge dance floor. On-site food is provided by Wild Stallion Vineyards, which has a full commercial kitchen. All prices include complete room set-up and tear-down, 72-inch round tables, walnut chiavari chairs, china flatware and glassware, white linens, and more.

The legendary San Jacinto Inn, founded in 1917 as a small family-operated restaurant, was Ford’s favorite place to eat when he was a boy. Sadly, the Inn closed its doors in 1987.

WALK INTO LA LUCHA AND FEEL RIGHT AT HOME. GULF GEMS and chicken dinners, the best you will find anywhere.
