Meet The Team
Larry & Karen Cress
Owners
While traveling through Italy, France, Australia, New Zealand and other exotic lands, Larry and Karen began to dream about beautiful vineyards and perhaps even making wine. That dream became a reality in 2009 when Wild Stallion Vineyards was born!
Come and visit WSV and capture the vision that we have cast. It is our hope that you will want to gather around friends–both old and new–and family and make a lifetime of unforgettable memories with us.
Elyssa Niebel
Marketing Coordinator
Elyssa graduated from Oklahoma State University with a Bachelor’s of Business Administration in Marketing and Management. She interned here at Wild Stallion Vineyards during college where she learned the ins and outs of event coordinating. During her internship she decided she wanted to pursue a career in the events field. So of course she was thrilled to be given the opportunity to work at Wild Stallion Vineyards after graduation. She has made it her mission to tell everyone that, “Yes, there is a vineyard in the Woodlands!”
