The old cotton gin building in Sisterdale is one of the only remaining structures of its kind in the Texas Hill Country, originally built in 1885 during a time when cotton production was central to the region’s economy. What once served as a working gin has been carefully preserved and transformed into Sister Creek Vineyards, blending deep local history with modern winemaking.

Today, visitors can experience wine tasting inside a building that still carries the character and craftsmanship of its original purpose, making it one of the most unique historic stops in the Hill Country.
