See Why This Old East Dallas Neighborhood is Special at The Munger Place Wine Walk Saturday

Visiting Munger Place is like stepping back in time. Prairie Foursquare homes with broad porches line the tree-shaded streets. Neighbors know each other, there are always events, and the feeling of community is palpable. On Saturday, you can experience all of this at the Munger Place Wine Walk and Home Tour.

Munger Place History

Munger Place was developed in 1905 by Robert S. Munger and his son Collett as the ultimate family neighborhood with every amenity and great proximity to downtown. It was also the first deed-restricted neighborhood in Texas, meaning the homes had requirements and uniformity. 

The neighborhood was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 and was designated as a Dallas Landmark District in 1988. The Historic District status ensures the neighborhood retains its original feel. The five streets that form the Munger Place Historic District are designated by sign-toppers and street lighting in the fashion of the early 1900s.

This year, six historic homes in Munger Place will be on tour, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Boys and Girls Club of East Dallas and local schools. 

Elizabeth Mast, a Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s Realtor and the owner of Talulah & Hess has sponsored the tour for many years. This year, she is sponsoring 5004 Tremont, which has a significant transformation story the docents can tell you about.

“It’s such an intimate home tour,” she said. “You really are able to capture that small-town feeling of what it was like to live here in the 1900s and how important community was and still is here.”

Guests that are 21 years of age or older may enjoy a small glass of wine, hand-selected by Jimmy’s Food Store or The Wine Therapist, at each home. We give our guests the option of purchasing tickets to taste either our standard or premium wines. Each paid ticket holder will also receive a Munger Place wine glass, compliments of Talulah & HESS, while supplies last.

Munger Place is offering two ticket options for the Wine Walk and Home Tour this year: online and at the event on April 20 from 2-6 p.m.
