So I have the following code:

TextFlow textWrapper = new TextFlow(_title);
FlowPage flowPage = new FlowPage();
flowPage.add(textWrapper);

The standard way of wrapping text. For my project I now need to somehow figure out what the height of this text will be when placed in a container with a fixed width.

This seems simple but I have been unable to figure out how to get this value. A lot of similar threads mention the getPreferedSize() method but this doesn't seem to return the proper height. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I think you may do something like FlowUtilities.getTextLayoutBounds(String, Font, int, int), just that you will need to set the width on the internally used TextLayout to reflect the wrapping.
