Umbra Winey’s Grapevine tasting room has closed. The winery based out of Springtown, Texas, announced on August 3 that it would consolidate its operations to its vineyard home base. The social media post, which can be read in its entirety here, references Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, COVID-19 and TABC restrictions when explaining this decision.
“Turning away customers who come to Grapevine to try these wines and experience what Texas has to offer despite implementing all the protocols to ensure a safe visit has been nothing short of frustrating,” the Facebook post reads. “The COVID shutdown has left Umbra with no sensible choice but to move all its operations to its headquarters in Springtown.”
Owners John and Debbie Wilson first opened on Main Street in Grapevine in 2014.
“It’s been a wild and amazing adventure since day one and we will all cherish the people and memories made there” John says on Facebook.
The couple also shares this announcement is not a goodbye, just a see you later at their winery.
“Change is hard”, Debbie says on Facebook, “but we are so excited to now focus all our efforts on our beautiful Springtown venue and continue to grow it.”
