Uncorking innovation with interactive augmented reality wine labels.
Founded on the cornerstones of family, tradition, and romance, Messina Hof has been at the forefront of the Texas wine industry for nearly 45 years. In addition to being the most awarded winery in the state of Texas, Messina Hof is also the largest producer of Texas wines with locations in Grapevine, Bryan and Fredericksburg. Upon the opening of their newest location, Harvest Green Winery & Kitchen in Richmond, Messina Hof will also add ‘largest winery in the Greater Houston area’ to its list of achievements. To commemorate the opening of the Harvest Green location, Messina Hof partnered with VISION to develop a mobile app and innovative augmented reality experience for its Harvest Green wine collection—making the collection the first Texas wine to feature interactive wine labels.
