Today we’d like to introduce you to Daniel Marek.
Hi Daniel, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I have been in the business almost 20 years owning 2 wineries at one time. Now owning just one winery with a brewery and distillery onsite. We grew this business from a homewinemaking project to a very good profitable business which we also make wines for 32 other wineries in Texas
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Only rough patch was during Covid where all wineries in Texas were forced to close temporarily.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about THIRSTY MULE WINERY?
What sets us apart is we are a Custom Crush facilty working with 32 other wineries. Recently winning 2026 Top Winery in Texas. https://www.lhindependent.com/lifestyles/liberty-hill-winery-rides-into-spotlight-with-major-houston-win/article_35273130-c03e-4fea-9dcf-8b3259438b66.html
How do you define success?
I define success is having a growing business and a business where your staff is your family to treat the business as there own and to continue to grow it.
