Cassaro Wines - Blending Texas Wines with Italian Tradition
Blending Texas wines with Italian tradition, John and Jill Matthews and Cassaro Winery bring a Tuscan wine-tasting experience to the Dallas – Ft. Worth metroplex.
The Cassaro family’s wine-making history dates back to when John’s grandfather Giuseppe Cassaro emigrated to the United States from Italy. John wanted to continue the tradition, and planted his first European varietals in 2015. Today, John uses 100% Texas grapes to make Texas wines in true Italian fashion.
Located on nearly three acres in historic downtown Ovilla, their 1910 Texas farmhouse has been remodeled into a Tuscan-style tasting room and winery. John and Jill invite you to “join the family” as you enjoy Texas wines in a rural country setting.

Our Vineyard
Cassaro Winery & Vineyards
Planted in 2015, the original vineyard consisted of just ten vines. Cassaro Vineyards now contains nearly 2,000 vines and features several European varieties including Sangiovese, Tempranillo, and Albarino.
All Cassaro wines are made with 100% Texas grapes, but many of the varieties have their roots in Italy, resulting in a perfect blend of Texas ingenuity and Italian tradition.
