Meet the "First Family of Texas Wine"- The Bonarrigos

Messina Hof was established in 1977 by Paul Vincent and Merrill Bonarrigo, who began with one acre of vineyard in Bryan, Texas. The Bonarrigos are considered “the first family of Texas wine" and produce many varietals. Messina Hof wines are all produced from Texas grapes. Many are sourced from the high elevation Texas High Plains AVA in the northwest near Lubbock. Son Paul and daughter-in-law Karen Bonarrigo, now oversee winery operations with locations in Bryan, Fredericksburg and Grapevine.
