Firelight Vineyards 103 North Lee Street, Valley View, TX 76272

"The lobster bisque is worth the hour drive from Dallas. It’s better than Pappas Brothers (my previous gold standard)! The bruschetta is the best I’ve ever had. The flatbreads are wonderful, and a glass of their Saturn Missile red wine is soulful and perfect. I’m shocked and delighted to find an experience this good in a small town. Must try!"

"On our wine journey throughout Texas we're always looking for not only good wines but a great overall experience. Don't hesitate in venturing out to this little hidden gem. Located in the very small town of Valley View its a bit deceiving in what awaits you. 1. Nice array of wines. We'd recommend selecting the flight allowing you to taste a nice assortment. Our personal favorite was the Trailblazer, a really smooth cab and merlot blend. 2. Food. Appealing presentation and delicious. Recommend the bruschetta. 3. Our hostess Jennifer was a joy. Attentive, engaging and informative. Thank you Jennifer for a great experience."

"Pleasantly surprised by the wine. Very drinkable. The building is historic, I think, but I didn't ask. The ambience is very nice. Staff is friendly. The tasting room is in Valley Views's towns square (I think). You can buy a glass with your tasting, but I didn't do that."

"Quaint winery in downtown Valley View with great wines! Service is always wonderful! Must try their Sicilian flat bread. They have a small amount of patio seating, but have expanded their inside. Great place!"
