4R Ranch Vineyards and Winery Of Red River Valley

Finest Wine from Red River Valley of Texas

The 4R Ranch from Red River Valley having its magnificent vistas and rocky terrain—is perfectly suitable for growing grapes. Patriarch W.C. Roper encouraged his family of sixth-generation Texans to share the beauty of this extraordinary place with others; and so it was love of this man and love of the land that inspired 4R Ranch Vineyards & Winery. Chinquapin oaks, white-tailed deer, the endangered black-capped vireo, and the occasional Rio Grande turkey inhabit this incredible property. Powered by sun, earth and wind, 4R Ranch Vineyards & Winery calls us all to slow their pace, enjoy the view, and sip a glass of wine in the magnificent Red River Valley.

4R Ranch is now also hosting events and live music venues.  4R Ranch is perfectly suited for many types of events, but no event is more beautiful in this setting than a wedding!  With their beguiling sunrises and sunsets, steep ridges and rolling hills, this extraordinary property offers incredible natural beauty and unique venues for the most exciting day of your life. You may contact them to discover how they can become a part of your next special event.

They have attractive events organized every month. To see the upcoming event, please click here.

The Barnhaus

Event_place Built to accommodate larger events and both sit-down or buffet-style dinners and brunches, this elegant restored and retrofitted barn allows you to create the memorable wedding experience or the country hoedown you’ve always wanted. A long alley provides the perfect space for farm tables in a variety of layouts accommodating as many as 200 guests. Large sliding panels allow for a divided cocktail reception area. A large crush pad at the east of the barn allows for extra seating, entertainment options, and portable catering kitchens. A unique bridal room for the bride-to-be and her wedding party is housed in the facility, along with two full-sized restrooms and lockers to safely store valuables during a party. The bridal room has a vanity table with a cell phone charging station, and Wi-Fi is available. The adjoining lawn will accommodate a large tent.

The Endres/Dangelmayr House Lawn and Porch

If it’s a vineyard feeling you’re going for, then The Endres/Dangelmayr House Lawn and Porch is the ideal location. Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards surround this historic three-story residence, built in 1904 by Werner Endres and later moved to the 4R Ranch from the Bishop Augustine Wenzelaus Dangelmayr property. Your guests can mingle amongst the grapevines in this romantic setting or enjoy the views of the Viognier hilltop vineyard from the sweeping front porch.

 The Cleo House Lawn and Porch

With its views of the pond and its sprawling front lawn, the Cleo House provides a beautiful natural surrounding with views of the Cabernet Sauvignon and Viognier vineyards. The pond banks, manicured lawn or the covered front porch are wonderful for ceremonies and receptions. This house gets its name from Dr. Walter Cleo “W.C.” Roper, a dentist from Waco, Texas, who purchased the 4R Ranch in 1992 with his wife Suzanne and two sons, Walt and Chris, the owners of 4R Ranch Vineyards & Winery.

The 4R Gasthaus

At the entrance to 4R Ranch is a small house for weekend rentals and families of event hosts or brides and grooms marrying on the property. The three-bedroom two-bath home features a full kitchen, dining area and living room with television, phone and Wi-Fi service.
