Sabor a Pasion is a cluster of small, private cottages set around a Tuscan-inspired, food-first estate in the East Texas countryside. Chef Simon Webster cooks in the onsite restaurant: breakfast comes with your stay, and multi-course dinners can be added. Guests share the restaurant patio and deck that look over the vineyard, the cottages are BYOB, and flowers, dinners and spa services can be arranged on request.

Tuscan-inspired cottages around a vineyard estate in Palestine, Texas, with Chef Simon Webster's gourmet breakfast included in every stay.
Palestine · East Texas
Chef Simon Webster was born in England, raised in New Zealand and cooked in four countries before opening Sabor a Pasion outside Palestine, Texas, in 2004. The estate is twenty acres of pines, pasture and vineyard, with cottages for two along brick paths a few steps from Restaurant Aubergine. Breakfast comes with every stay; dinner is yours to add.
Two of the estate's cottages book here directly.
Pizza nights come straight from the tiled wood-fired oven by the patio.
The grounds
Brick walkways run between the cottages, under iron arbors strung with lights and past crepe myrtles, roses and red spider lilies. A white horse keeps watch from the paddock, an old tractor sits behind a split-rail fence, and the drive in curves through pasture under tall pines.
The covered patio at dusk: fire pit, string lights, a pink sky over the pasture.
For two
The cottages are made for two, and the estate can add a multi-course dinner on the patio, flowers or spa services when you book. Bring the champagne; it's BYOB. The cottages are for quiet stays, so parties and events aren't allowed.
