Elisa Christopher Wines is a family run winery by husband and wife team, Elisa and Chris Jones.  Chris and Elisa purchased their 43 acre property in 2022 and hit the ground running on building a production facility and tiny house tasting room.  While Chris and Elisa love still red, and white wine, Chris and Elisa are passionate about making traditional method sparkling wine in Texas.  They’ve invested in champagne equipment from France and for neck freezing, riddling and disgorging and are excited to be pioneers of mechanization to sparkling wine in Texas.  They believe we need more sparkling wine as every day has an element in it to celebrate.

Elisa's family has historic Texas roots having come to Texas in 1855 as farmers, she helped her father plant his vineyard in Burleson Country in 2007.  Although Elisa is a 3rd generation Aggie, she attended Texas Tech's winemaking certificate program while she was still working for the Department of Defense, so that she could move back to Texas after years of travel to make wine.  She convinced her husband Chris to complete his winemaking certificate from Texas Tech during COVID so he could assist her as a “cellar rat.”  As Chris has a full time career as a land planner, his skills were vital in laying out the winery property for future expansion.  If you would have asked him 15 years ago if he would be making wine, he would have said he would have a greater chance of being an astronaut than helping make wine!
