The Texas Documentary Photography Group has come together to document the production of wine in Texas-everything from growing the grapes, to highlighting the vineyards, to enjoying the finished products. Making wine in Texas has become big business. From its humble start in the 1662 near present-day El Paso, when Spanish missionaries planted the State's first vineyard, to its current status as the fifth largest wine producer in the nation, wine making in Texas has become a force and a figure in the industry. The Texas Documentary Photography Group set out to document this by visiting vineyards around the state with the goal of educating and informing fellow Texans as to the different facilities, establishments, wines, and the impact of the wine making industry in Texas. The wine and grape industry has contributed to the state of Texas with an economic impact of 1.35 billion dollars and Texas currently has 190 commercial wineries. The exhibition highlights images from the growing region with the hopes of raising awareness of Texas as a force in wine making.
