THE WINE INCUBATOR

Texas's first wine incubator was founded by John Rivenburgh with a simple idea: talented winemakers shouldn't need millions of dollars to get started. If you're an aspiring winemaker you'll find a collaborative space where you can access professional facilities, expert guidance, and a community that genuinely wants to see you succeed.

SUPPORTING WINEMAKERS
The Wine Incubator supports winemakers at every stage, from sourcing fruit and planning production through to winemaking, packaging, compliance, and growth strategy. Whether you come in with years of experience or no knowledge at all, we meet you where you are and work alongside you to build a label you’ll want to share with the world.
FOSTERING COMMUNITY
What we are most proud of is watching the people we have worked closely with go on to succeed. Some of the most recognized and awarded brands in Texas wine today came through our incubator. That is what this community was built for.

The Wine Incubator supported us when we needed it most. When our winery construction experienced delays, the Incubator family welcomed us, allowing us to make our wines there with their support. I’m very grateful to everyone there who supported us during that time.
