Untamed Wine Estates
Untamed Wine Estates represents something rare in the wine world: the convergence of decades of expertise with the freedom to create without constraints. Owners Dane and Mckenzie didn’t just wake up one day and decide to make wine—they arrived here after producing 31 vintages and millions of cases for national and international markets. Then they made a bold choice: to break free from the corporate mold and craft wines on their own terms.
The result is a winery that reinvents traditional style through international inspiration, blending worldly experience with measured science to create something truly distinctive. This is winemaking unleashed—informed by global perspectives but unbounded by convention.
What happens when veteran winemakers with that level of experience decide to produce wine for themselves? You get Untamed Wine Estates. Here, every decision is guided by knowledge accumulated across continents and countless harvests, but freed from the limitations that come with producing for mass markets or corporate bottom lines.
Dane and Mckenzie bring an international sensibility to Texas wine country, drawing on techniques and inspirations from around the world while maintaining the rigor and precision that only comes from years in the industry. It’s traditional winemaking reimagined—rooted in science, elevated by artistry, and truly untamed.
At Cowboy Tours, we’re drawn to wineries with compelling stories and exceptional wines. Untamed Wine Estates offers both in abundance.

This is where you’ll taste what’s possible when expertise meets independence.
