Bar Z Winery

5 sites · RVs10 acres · Canyon, TX
At the edge of Palo Duro Canyon, on the outskirts of Canyon, Texas you’ll find a hidden panhandle gem in Bar Z Winery. Not to be confused with a vineyard, Bar Z works with Texas High Plains vineyard owners and takes their high-quality Texas grown grapes and makes them into award-winning, full-bodied red wines. Founder and Vintner, Monty Dixon, would tell you he’s been making adult beverages since he was nine years old. In his elementary school library there was a book that gave crude instructions on how to make beer at home. Monty’s precocious and daring nature led to adventures in backyard chemistry. It wasn’t until his teens and young adult years that he would graduate to casual wine-making. But casual wasn’t enough for Monty. This is no vintner’s hobby house. Bar Z Winery combines art, science, and years of experience to create elegant wines. Monty’s passion and hard work go into every bottle making these entirely Texan wines contenders on the world stage. Bar Z Winery has competed against Napa Valley wines, French wines – often considered the greatest – yet their native Texan creations have taken home the gold. Much like his wine, Monty Dixon is unfiltered, robust, and wholly unique. If he has a free moment, he’ll happily bend your ear about the science of wine and Bar Z’s simple, yet effective philosophy: Let the wine be wine. Bar Z Winery prides itself on utilizing the unique Texas terroir to create a wine that expresses the hard work of the vineyard owners, the soil it was grown in, and the love of Texas shared by those who enjoy these unique, award-winning wines. We are available for check-in Monday through Wednesday 1:00 PM - 7:00 PM and Thursday through Sunday 1:00 PM - 9:00 PM. The Winery is closed at times not listed and the gate will be closed at that time. If you have a confirmed reservation, and you need to arrange for an after-hours arrival, please make sure to call the winery and speak with one of our staff at least an hour prior to closing to provide us with your ETA and get instructions for getting onto the property. IF WE DO NOT HEAR FROM YOU AN HOUR PRIOR TO CLOSING, THERE IS A CHANCE THE FRONT GATE WILL BE CLOSED AND LOCKED, AND YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO ACCESS THE PROPERTY, SO PLEASE CALL THE WINERY IF YOU ARE RUNNING LATE.

Camping near Amarillo guide

Overview

Set between the plains and the desert, historic Amarillo has plenty to explore. From your RV park or tent site, you can explore Route 66 and the quirky Cadillac Ranch. Or, go all Wild West with a ranch camp and a horseback ride through a canyon. With 250 sunny days a year, it’s always camping season.

Camp among rugged red-rock canyons in Palo Duro Canyon State Park. Book pull-thru RV sites with partial hookups, or hike into primitive tent sites. You can even rent stunning stone cabins on the canyon rim or floor. Hike and bike 30 miles of trails, or take a guided ride from the on-site stables.

Enjoy a little luxury at the Amarillo RV parks near I-40. Many come with free Wi-Fi and dog parks to keep the whole family happy. Or, choose a private Western camp with ample space for your big rig.

For a respite from the hot Texas sun, head to the 11 campgrounds at Lake Meredith. Most of these National Park Service campsites are free; many have picnic tables and boat ramps. Hikers love the trails near Harbor Bay and Mullinaw Creek. If you want peace and quiet, remote Chimney Hollow is your best bet.
