About Newsom Vineyards
The Newsom family had been cotton farmers for over a hundred years in the Lubbock area. Worried about water shortages in west Texas, Neal Newsom decided that it was time for a change. Interested in alternative crops and after researching peanuts, alfalfa, pumpkins and others he decided on wine grapes. It was a huge gamble, as large scale planting of grapes were not commonly grown in that area. So began his adventure in wine grape growing on the Texas HIgh Plains. In 1989, three years after he planted, the first crop was harvested and fit in the trunk of his car. He drove the grapes to a winery in Garden City and received his first check for about $500. Today, Newsom Vineyards is one of the largest producers of wine grapes in the High Plains area. The vineyards produce …. tons annually and the highly sought after grapes are sold to wineries all over the state.
