Rhinory

We started this journey after visiting South Africa in 2016.   While we were on safari there were two rhinos poached nearby, which was quite traumatic to the rangers, the patrons, and the surrounding community that relies on tourism for their local economy. Before this experience, rhino poaching was just something you heard about, not been there when it happened and are able to see the consequences of. Our family decided we wanted to assist rhino conservation in any way we could. We looked into importing rhinos into Texas where they would be safe and we could have a “reserve population” if rhinos are poached to extinction in Africa. Bringing them to a private reserve is harder than we imagined. We needed money and land to support that effort, so we hatched the idea of combining a winery with our desire to save rhinos. The winery would provide the land and the sales of the wine would help further rhino conservation both in the US and internationally. Our goal is to provide an exceptional experience where people can walk in and learn about rhinos, experience rhinos in an environment much more personal than a zoo, drink great wine in a beautiful setting, and help rhino conservation while doing it.
