Grain, Grit, and Whiskey: The Wilson Valley Mercantile Story

Join us as we explore Wilson Valley Mercantile, a unique farm-to-bottle distillery in Texas. Fifth-generation farmer John and his family have transformed their 157-year-old family farm into a thriving whiskey operation.
In this video, we take a behind-the-scenes tour of the distillery, learning about:
The farm's rich history dating back to 1866
How modern farming techniques help sustain the family business
The seed-to-sip process of making whiskey entirely on-site
The challenges of balancing farming and distilling operations
The custom-built distillery equipment and production process
Barrel aging techniques in the Texas climate
We also discuss the tasting room experience, featuring live music, farm-to-table food, and of course, locally crafted whiskey. Discover how this innovative family is preserving their agricultural heritage while creating a new legacy in craft spirits.
