Fredericksburg sits at the edge of one of the state's most celebrated stretches of wine country, and the wineries in Fredericksburg, TX make an afternoon of tasting an easy “yes”. Some pour bold Tempranillo with a view of the Pedernales River Valley, while others keep it fresh with a shaded patio and a glass of rosé.
From family-run estates pouring award-winning reds to hilltop tasting rooms that are perfect for slow afternoons, this part of the Hill Country has a little of everything. If you're ready to find a few new favorites, here's where to start.
Our Favorite Wineries in Fredericksburg, TX
Grape Creek Vineyards
Head to Grape Creek Vineyards for an afternoon that feels like a quick trip to Tuscany. Grape Creek Vineyards sits along Highway 290 with vineyard rows behind the tasting room, and the Taste & Tour adds a tram ride through the vines and a stop in the barrel room. Order a glass of sparkling wine or a seated tasting of small-batch Cabernet, then settle in on the patio and enjoy the view.
Becker Vineyards
Save an afternoon for Becker Vineyards if you want lavender fields with your wine flight. Becker Vineyards grows its own grapes on the estate, and its Ranger Hays and Chardonnay Reserve have both taken home gold medals. Grab a seat, order a glass of Barbera, and listen to live music, playing most weekends.
Pedernales Cellars
For a wine road 290 stop with a view that merits the drive, head to Pedernales Cellars in Stonewall. Pedernales Cellars sits on a hilltop above the Pedernales River Valley, and the patio is the best seat in the house for watching the light move across the Hill Country. Their Tempranillo is the wine to order, and the guided cellar tour is worth booking.
