Pillar Bluff Vineyards was established in 1999 and is located in Lampasas, Texas. The winery opened its tasting room in 2002 and has since become a notable destination for wine enthusiasts.

The vineyard features eight French varietals, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petite Verdot, and Malbec for red blends, as well as Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, and Viognier for whites.
Visitors to Pillar Bluff can enjoy tastings while wandering the vineyard or relaxing under the pavilion. The winery also hosts events such as music nights and seasonal celebrations to enhance the experience.
