William Chris Vineyards is a Texas-based winery in the Hill Country that operates within the beverage manufacturing sector. It grew from a collaboration between winemakers William Blackmon and Chris Brundrett, adopting a vineyard-focused approach and a philosophy of sharing wine with a broader community; the first William Chris vintage appeared in 2008, and the winery established a tasting room in a restored 1905 farmhouse, with the Hye Estate Vineyard planted in 2012. Based in Hye, Texas, the operation emphasizes delivering wines that reflect the region's terroir across each vintage. In 2019, it opened a state-of-the-art Hye Society Members Tasting Room that offers public reservations on weekdays and is reserved for wine club members on weekends. In 2026 the company launched Rebecca Caroline, a traditional-method sparkling wine brand made from 100% Texas-grown grapes.
