What is Puerta del Lobo Texas?
Puerta del Lobo is a gated vineyard community on the Hwy 290 Wine Trail between Johnson City and Fredericksburg, with 52 homesites of about 3 acres each and vineyards tended by an on-site winery.
Most wine-country homes put a vineyard on the view. Puerta del Lobo puts one on your property and hands the farming to the winery.
It's about 55 minutes from Austin and 25 minutes from Fredericksburg, right on the stretch of Highway 290 lined with more than 70 wineries.

The winery is the anchor. The developer's family has produced wine for generations at Puerta del Lobo in Querétaro, Mexico, and the Texas project brings that same hospitality to the Hill Country.
Vineyards on the homesites are managed by the on-site winery, so you get the vineyard lifestyle without running a farm.
This is a wine-country second home in its purest form. Weekends start with your own vines and end at a tasting room down the road, with Fredericksburg's Main Street 25 minutes west.
Albert's Take
Standout: Your own vineyard, farmed for you by the on-site winery, on the Hwy 290 Wine Trail.
Membership: No golf club here. The HOA and the vineyard management agreement are the two documents to read closely.
Setting: About 208 acres of Hill Country vineyard land between Johnson City and Fredericksburg.
Homes: 52 homesites of about 3 acres with custom and builder homes, such as a 4,200-square-foot, four-bedroom home listed at $2.895M.
Selling here: Buyers will ask about the vines. Keep the vineyard agreement, yield records and any wine labeled from your grapes on hand.
A roughly 3-acre homesite with a custom or builder home. One current listing pairs a 4,200-square-foot, four-bedroom home with a 3.69-acre site at $2.895M, with completion slated for 2027.
It's a weaker fit if you want golf, lake access or a full-time commute to Austin.
