7 Creeks Vineyard has been chosen as the Bertram Chamber of Commerce Business of the Month for May. 7 Creeks Vineyard is a family-owned business, where each member takes on important and individual roles to drive the success of the business. The land was purchased in 2017, the first few thousand vines were planted in 2018, and the tasting room was built and opened in 2019. Since that time, they have seen exponential growth and success.
The family feels the success is owed to a community rich with people who love supporting local businesses, and of course, love drinking great wine.
7 Creeks Vineyard is calling 2026 “The Year of the 7!” Patriarch Jerry turned 77 this year, the beloved vineyard dog, Blondie, is turning 7, and the business will be celebrating 7 years. They plan a big celebration on August 1st, so watch for details on their social media pages.
There are plans to expand the onside facilities to include a production facility as well as an event space. The Bertram Chamber wishes them much success in the years to come.
Plant & Bake Sale
Bertram’s very own Prairie Flower Garden Club held its annual Plant & Bake Sale this past Friday and Saturday at the Bertram Community Center. There was a huge variety of plants for the community to purchase, and the counter was lined with sweet treats for sale. The proceeds of this annual event go to support local nonprofit organizations in the area.
Splash Bash
Mark your calendars for June 4 for the 3rd Annual Summer Splash Bash at Panther Park. The Bertram Chamber of Commerce, the City of Bertram, and the YMCA of Highland Lakes will be sponsoring this free family event which will include free swimming from 6-8 pm, free hot dogs and chips, cold treats, and lots of fun. This annual event has become a Bertram family favorite, so make plans to join the fun.
