Learn more about Sommly.com, a new way to discover, shop and interact with Texas wineries.

Sommly is an online marketplace where wine enthusiasts can explore wineries, join wine clubs, read reviews and buy - or give - the gift of Texas wine.

Similar to Etsy, Sommly enables artisan wineries to sell their wine direct-to-consumer and cut out the middleman.

Sommly’s marketplace will be launching in Texas early in 2022.
