Landon Winery

Harold Mitas was born and raised on a farm in the Midwest, but it took a long time to find a home. He made his living as a farmer, musician, businessman and entrepreneur, but he was always a winemaker at heart. In 1999, Harold and his wife Sue landed on the golden slope of their dreams. With his magical green thumb and his visionary spirit, they set off. One vine quickly became two, and soon the rocky soil of Mitas mountain was decorated with nearly five thousand vines and seven varieties. It didn’t take long before the entire Mitas family joined their parents’ passion. Steve and Sherrie, financier and sommelier, Lisa and Tim, pharmacist and winemaker, Michelle, businesswoman and concierge, all play important roles. Even the third generation of the Mitas clan is involved in cleaning. It’s a family affair. It’s a love affair. The future of Mitas Hill is really bright.

Mitas Hill’s new winery is capable of producing 15,000 gallons per year, all handcrafted with the utmost care and attention to detail. A sunny hill rests in the rolling fields of North Texas, where Clemons Creek meanders lazily under a bright blue sky. A piece of heaven. Fertile land with abundant fruits. Vines with Tempranillo, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel, Black Spanish and Venus. Golden vineyard. Where old friends return, new friends meet and memories take root. Where every view is a postcard. Where the sound of laughter echoes through the valley and is always a good reason to open another bottle of wine. Raise your glass to the good life. For the sun, the soil and the stream. To the rich rich land of Texas . In memory of past and future dreams. Let’s laugh with good friends and family. Enjoy the fruits of our labor and the vine. Let’s enjoy every day and drink of the best wines. Never miss an opportunity to celebrate. Not all wines are created equal. And while every bottle of wine we put our name on at Mitas Hill is special, some are in a category of their own. Handcrafted in small batches, Mitas Hill’s exceptional reserve wines are specially reserved for members of The Experience. Don’t forget to check out this place in McKinney too.

These exclusive reserve wines are delicious, created by Mitsa Hill’s expert winemaker. A smile in a bottle. Some are juicy and rich, others are earthy and spicy. Each of them promises to be exciting. Members of their Vineyard Club and Wine Appreciation Society are invited to an exclusive launch party where a Mitas Hill sommelier will pair rare wines with your favorite dishes to further enhance the divine flavors. You won’t want to miss these memorable bottles and events. Membership has its benefits. North of McKinney, the landscape begins to undulate, and many slopes are covered with bucolic vineyards. Just a few minutes away from the city you will reach Mount Mitas. Here they grow Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Black Spanish, Venuso, Syrah and Tempranillo on well-stocked vineyards surrounded by forest. This unusual choice of grapes allows Mitas Hills to create wines that are both fresh and familiar. You can reserve a table at the vineyard’s restaurant, take an informative tour of the grounds or, if you’re here in August, attend the annual harvest festival.
