A local favorite winery is celebrating a significant milestone! Horseshoe Bend Cellars Vineyard and Winery has officially reached its seven-year anniversary, proving its resilience through challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic and the ever-changing business landscape.
For small businesses, reaching seven years is no easy feat, but Horseshoe Bend has stood the test of time, continuing to serve the Wichita Falls area with high-quality, locally crafted wines.
The Secret to Success: Adapting & Innovating
General Manager Gabriele Poenitzsch knows that staying relevant in the wine industry takes effort, creativity, and dedication to customer satisfaction.
“You always have to restructure and redo a lot of things because you can’t do the same thing over and over again,” Poenitzsch explained. “You have to keep bringing new, fresh ideas to the table, and honestly, just making sure that you are taking care of your customers too.”
By continuously introducing new wine flavors and event experiences, Horseshoe Bend Cellars has remained a staple in the Texoma wine scene.
