Came for a tasting. Service was so good. Great wine. Beautiful area for bird watching outside. They have a Summer Tanager on their label. This is now Llano Estacado winery. Good place. read more

Kyle was our guide during our visit to Airis 'Ele. We enjoyed the wine but Kyle made the experience worth while. The out doors was well appointed and the tasting area what beautiful. Great interaction with staff and wine was very well presented as well. Also important to note the tasting room opens at 10am which is an hour sooner than most so good place to start. read more

Fun place to come with friends and family. Wide selection of wines and friendly staff. read more

Very comfortable tasting room with really good wines. Three of us stopped by Airis 'Ele Vineyards on a Thursday afternoon for a tasting. We stopped here on the recommendation of friends that had stopped here earlier in the week. Airis 'Ele did not disappoint. A few things really stick out here: - Multiple covered outdoor seating areas (dog friendly) - Multiple uncovered outdoor seating areas (dog friendly) - Outdoor restrooms - Beautiful indoor seating in multiple areas - Nice bar area - Nice shop for wine stuff - Great tasting wine - Personable, knowledgable and friendly staff We sat in super comfy chairs at a small table and was served by Tyler. If you're curious of anything about Airis 'Ele, he seemed to know it all. We spent about 90 minutes tasting 5 wines and drinking a glass of our favorites. We'll be back! read more

This was the third and last stop on our wine tour. We sat outside which was nice. I think they pride themselves on being unpretentious so the wines just had 3 "personality" adjectives instead of real notes to describe the wine. I wasn't a fan of this as we took the tour to learn more about wines and find some traits we liked and made a game of guessing the notes. We weren't particularly keen on any of the wines we tried. One cool thing is you can pick any 5 wines from their list to try so everyone's tasting is different. read more

THE BIG: Gorgeous tasting room with decor nicely done and the view of the hill country. Tons of parking around. THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and I came here on a Sunday afternoon to make the most of our Wine Passport. We were recommended to try the wines here as one advice we got was to try their tannat. Lo'behold, it was a delicious wine and we ended up getting into a fun discussion on Texas Wines and the growth of the region. We also ended up tasting a few more of their california wines and I know my wife enjoyed those. I love the fruit forwardness of Texas wines so I'm right at home. THE FINAL BAMBOO: A tasting is around $25. It's definitely worth stopping by to do the tasting and grab a glass (or bottle) to relax. read more

We started with this very lovely winery at the beginning of our trip and the bar was set high for the rest of our stay. Not only was the atmosphere calm and comfortable but we were able to sit and were not rushed for the duration of our tasting. Kyle was informative and personable and so incredibly helpful with local recommendations and really helped make this trip for us. We will be back! read more

I love this Vineyard. The place is beautiful & staff is very professional. They have the best Cab Fran here! I drove in from SA just to pick up a bottle. Try it out next time you are in Fredericksburg. read more

This is an absolutely beautiful winery. They have big windows and cozy areas. Verity of seating inside and outdoors. The owners and staff here are so down to earth and kind. I've sat with a glass while finishing up some work and they gave me space when I needed it and freely made conversation when I wasn't working anymore. A very relaxing environment. I am no expert in wine... I know I like rich and complex reds and I don't like anything too sweet. I really enjoyed their tasting and I got a glass of something red afterwards. This place is a gem. read more

My favorite spot on our wine tour! All of the red wines were good and I took home a bottle of the Cabernet Sauvignon. I loved the outdoor space under the trees and appreciated that it's dog friendly. I do wish the staff shared more details about each wine instead of simply pouring them and walking off - but overall a wonderful experience and would come back! read more

We visited on a Monday afternoon, which was a slow day. We enjoyed our tasting and our conversation with Luis. The view from the tasting room is beautiful. We look forward to sitting outside under the big oaks in the cooler weather. We were pleased with the wines. I loved the Bienvenue, it's a light white, not sweet, and with a little bit of bubbles. The Cabernet and the Muscat were both really nice. Luis took the time tell us about the winery, the grapes, and the wines. We truly appreciated his attentiveness and knowledge. read more

Stopped by Airis Ele today and had a great experience! It was our first tasting here and we will be back . Our friendly server was Ethan and he was very knowledgeable of the wines we sampled . They were also welcoming of our pup which we appreciated. Their tasting room and patios were beautiful and relaxing. read more

We came in on a non holiday Saturday. There were 2 parties besides us at the bar. We were 3 girls in winter clothes. I dont know if it was our clothes, or that we are well under 40. Throughout the tasting the server maybe spoke to us 4 times? It was only to ask which wine we would have next. There was no talk about where each wine came from. Or even how they personally felt about it. I feel like we were a burden and should leave. It was especially prominent when the other guests actively chatted with their servers. We came here off of a recommendation from one of our beloved wineries. I will definitely tell them about this experience. They should not recommend these places. read more

We loved this winery! New! Great indoor and outdoor space. Wished there was more red wine on the wine passport. Ask for Coach, super fun!

Having been opened since 2022, this new winery on HWY 290 is a must add to your regular Hill Country wine trekking trips. Founded by the Bernard and Perrenoud families, this new adventure for the 12-acre estate has really gotten off to a great start. Chris Perrenoud has a long-time history in the Fredericksburg area and helped get her husband Brett hooked on the Texas wine bug. Both Chris and Brett worked at Becker Vineyards for a long time, so they have certainly seen many changes to the ever-expanding Texas wine industry. John and Susie Bernard have had a long time community involvement in the area. Having established their own careers, this next adventure into the Texas wine world is the next chapter of their careers. The name of the winery comes from the blending of John Bernard's side of the family and Chris Perrenoud's maiden name. Once an old farm ranch house, the owners have added on to the 20th century home turning it into a fantastic tasting room with scenic views of large oak trees in the backyard area and great artwork on the walls. There is ample indoor and outdoor seating and an exquisite upstairs private tasting room overlooking the main downstairs tasting room with an even better view of the outdoor area too. Michael Barton, from Hilmy Cellars, is helping the owners with the winemaking. They currently have several great wines to select from that you can't go wrong with. Most grapes are sourced from the Texas High Plains. You'll also notice some wines from the Columbia Valley area which will give you a great comparison with the Texas wine equivalent. You will notice a three-word descriptor for each wine. This is Bret's take on how best to describe how enjoyable each wine is to drink. First to start off with was the NV Dry Bienvenue. Sourced from Wilmeth Vineyards of the Texas High Plains AVA, this fizzy jewel is a blend of 55% Roussanne, 25% Riesling, and 20% Viognier. Along with the lively bubbles, are some great minerality and buttery notes. The next white was a 2019 Viognier from Lahey Vineyards. This big Texas white wine has great acids and tropical notes to add to that lush feeling. For the Rosé wine, they have the 2021 Redlin sourced from Farmhouse Vineyards. This blend of 40% Cinsault, 20% Montepulciano, 20% Sangiovese, 15% Mourvèdre, and 5% Grenache is not only full of cherry notes, but light, smooth, fruit forward and quite refreshing. The first red on the menu is their 2018 Malbec. This Newsom Vineyard sourced fruit is quite smooth with berry notes, well balanced, and has good acids. This was followed by the 2021 Nichol which is a 50/50 blend of Petite Sirah and Petite Verdot. It is one of the darker reds you'll try and has jammy notes, lots of depth, and is very smooth. The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is big on black cherry, smooth, and savory. However, brace yourself for the 2021 vintage! We got a "sneak peek" of this bad beast Cab, and it just hits all those high marks of bold, lush, long finish, and elegant. It's a long-term cellaring wine for sure. For a take on left/right bank style blend, try the Cuerno. Also sourced from Columbia Valley, it's a blend of 40% Merlot, 20% Malbec, and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Call this jewel well balanced with a nice fruit forward sensation. And not to be left out, is the 2020 Cabernet Franc from Calistoga. This big and heavy red wine just explodes with a tantalizing mouthfeel, along with that classic pucker up tannin sensation. Lastly, was the 2021 Muscat. Sourced from Farmhouse Vineyards, it does have a beautiful aromatic nose with notes of grapefruit and other delightful tropical sensations. To say the owners are enthusiastic about their place is an understatement. Take the opportunity to chat with them during your tasting and you'll get the A-to-Z about their passion for this place. There is a lot of great history packed into their story, and the views are only complimented by the many species of birds you'll find on the estate. You'll love their wines and fall in love with the tasting room. Cheers! read more

I was in town with my husband who was here on business so I stopped by this new winery and absolutely loved it. To clarify, I'm an equal opportunity wine drinker, i like white/red/dry/semi-sweet, but I am a little particular when it comes to actual flavor. Luis was my server and talked me through every wine and I did not dislike a single one. The reds were light and flavorful (perfect for the spring/summer season) and the whites were crisp and refreshing. Their sparklings (they have a dry and a sweet) were my personal favorites, but the Cabernet and the Viognier were standouts as well. You can't complain about $25 tastings in Fredericksburg anymore. That's the direction all wineries are going in this area, if not more expensive. Their logo is lovely and they have some nice merch in their shop, and I think they nailed the interior decor. It's really nice but comfortable...not too boujee so anyone can be comfortable here. They also have a fire pit for cold weather and outdoor seating for nice weather. Don't hesitate to come by!! read more

A bachelorette weekend and a day of wine tasting took us to Airis'Ele. We had such a wonderful experience in a private space that over looked the rest of the tasting room.
