What a great find of a winery along the Fredricksberg wine trail! Alexander Vineyards stands out for their excellent wines and beautiful surroundings. Our server, Madelyn gave us personal attention, serving us while we enjoyed the view from the patio. The wines are from grapes from Europe (France, Germany, Austria, Spain) barreled and bottled there, then flown all the way to this winery. I had a glass of Crianza (Tempernillo from Roja, Spain). Very good! Ambience is calm and mellow. Next door is a fenced area that was full of colts and their mommas. Adorable! Inside tasting room is contemporary with a clean and welcoming design. With so many wineries to choose from in the area, Alexander Vineyards is a true winner! read more

Interesting little gem along grape highway. We were looking for a quiet, nice ambience and good wine on a Saturday which in any wine country area is known as big money day. That means busy busy busy. Fortunately we hit at a good time. Not too busy and at an easy going pace. Self admitted wine snob that I am i prefer to choose a glass over wine tasting. We looked over the lineup and the Montepulciano 2022 was calling me. My wife latched on to the Tempranillo. No grapes are grown here it all happens on foreign ground. From grape to juice to bottle and label. Everything happens in Spain, France etc....interesting concept. We enjoyed our glasses that were served by young Madeline new to the industry and very nice. We were also enjoying new foals/colts on the property next door. Six mother horses and thier babies. The outside patio and grounds are very relaxing. I recommend Alexander Vineyard. read more

Madeline was amazing! Her knowledge of wine is incredible, and her experience working at wineries abroad, from production to leading tastings, really shines through. She made the tasting fun, engaging, and informative. The wines were absolutely outstanding--every pour was delicious and thoughtfully crafted. This winery is a must-visit, and if you can do a tasting with Madeline, even better! read more

Amazing service with beautiful wine choices. Staff was very knowledgeable about every glass of wine. Highly recommend the tasting menu! read more

THE BIG: Old world centric wines from Alexander Vineyards right along the 290 strip of wineries. Plenty of parking and a relatively small tasting room. They have a small pond outside that isn't noticeable coming in but when you're in the tasting room, it makes the outside so aesthetic. THE BLACK AND WHITE: We came here at 2pm on a Saturday and it was packed! Granted we rolled in right after a bachelorette party. The staff was great and handled everyone like a pro. We sat down a few minutes afterwards with no problem. There were two options: curated and premium. The premium wines looked amazing however, the tasting was $60. The premium had more burgundy wines and included some 1er cru vineyards. The curated had more bordeaux wines, which were still amazing. Both options concluded with a nice, honey sauterne. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall a flight of the curated wines (6 in total) came out to be $30. We will be back to taste more of these old world wines especially since they are my wife's favorites. read more

Came in with a group over the weekend and had such a great time. Morgan was our server and was incredibly kind and accommodating, even putting up with our very silly picture requests. The wine was delicious, and the outdoor patio was perfect for the beautiful early spring weather. We'll definitely be back. read more

The views along with the wine and charcuterie was perfectly paired with the weather onlooking the water and hill country scenery! Morgan helped our tastings be more well rounded and truly cared about our palettes before pouring tastings! Will be returning in the future! read more

I absolutely LOVE Alexanders. While not local, he doesn't claim to be Texas. Or worse, be California and open a winery using CA grapes. We go way back to the old tasting room. And I admire him as a person and a father. After suffering a family tragedy, he has found a way to carry on. Something I honestly don't think I could have done. It truly told me a lot about the man I only knew from occasionally saying hello. Why Alexanders? If he doesn't have Texas wines? Claude, actually knows French wines and hands picks the wines he features. And we have never had a bad wine. Another thing I love about Alexander Vineyards is that the offer dessert wines. They also offer one of the best charcuterie boards. The only negative thing I have ever had to say is seating. The way he chose to lay out so many tasting stations took square footage over seating. So if they are busy,or having an event, seating is obsolete. He has added tables outside but that depends on the unpredictable Texas weather. I have several wineries that I have similar struggles with and sadly don't recommend or take groups because of seating. I took a group to Beckers on Main because they have the intimate members lounge. My group took over most of the one section and spent several hours. We not only bought bottles to drink while we were there. We bought bottles for later. It is hard when you really like a venue but pass because of seating limitations because I don't like to stand at a tasting bar. read more

Hands down best winery in Fredericksburg. The tasting was very in depth and learned so much about the types of wines, where they come from, and how they are made. The experience made it personable all while enjoying the Texas landscape. The experience was fantastic and so were the wines tasted. read more

We were visiting from North Carolina and really wanted to stick to exploring Texas wine, but luckily this fit into our schedule last minute. I'm glad it did because we really enjoyed our time here. They have a lovely new tasting room that's super clean and sleek. The wines are old world wines and we really enjoyed exploring them with our tasting room Associate, he knew what he was talking about. We left with two bottles. 10/10 would recommend read more

Friendly, and tasty French style wine, especially enjoyed the sparkling. Ever evolving space

The wine was delicious, the service was excellent. I would definitely visit here again.

Did a tasting with Christy, and had such a wonderful experience. It's not on the shuttle - and to preserve the level of the experience I don't believe it ever will be. The wines are fabulous, and the ambiance was relaxed, but upscale. I didn't intend to purchase any bottles, but the Bordeaux Rosé and the Graves Blanc were both so delicious I had to add them to my collection. The Tempranillo Reserva was also wonderful. We will definitely be back, this is a must. Christy was both knowledgeable and personable. This is the place to go if you are a true connoisseur. read more

Looks are deceiving... small personal tasting room but amazing Bordeaux, Champagne, Rieslings and Spanish Tempranillos. Super personable hosts. Dana was a great teacher! Joined the wine club, we'll be back for sure. read more

Windi & Claude were wonderful! Came with my girlfriends for the day and happened upon this hidden gem. Loved it so much that I signed up for the wine club. Their vast selection of old world wines were a very refreshing change from the Texas wine vineyards surrounding it. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

You've heard the expression of "great things come in small packages", I give you Alexander Vineyards. Depending on what your group's intentions are (tasting or purchasing bottles), you are seated either in the yard (tasting) or on the outskirts (bottles). Just a note: grapes are not grown on the vineyard, as it is imported from Europe, but that just means you can be a world traveler all in the luxury of staying in your seat. There's a nice after-taste to each sip with all the wines I tasted, love love love! read more

Did a tasting here with a couple of my friends, and we are so glad we decided to try a place the shuttle doesn't stop at. Alexander's offers an elevated experience and some phenomenal European wines. Christy spent time talking about the wines and engaging with us, she was a delight. Very nice, relaxed, but elegant atmosphere. read more

5 stars, 5 star, 5 stars!!! Not gonna lie , we were kinda skeptical bc the outside impression does not do justice for it. Initially what attracted me was the sign that says "our tasting room may suck but our wine is great ". I couldn't be happier that we stopped!! The owner is super nice and his wine steward Dayna is the bomb dignity! She was so knowledgeable in all the wine they import . In addition I had a great side conversation with her about life in general and she is just a gem! We s been coming to the town for about 2 years and stopping at all the same places ...this one just added to our list of permanent stops. They are just so welcoming and the tasting room is so quaint . Absolute must do while in town . read more

Alexander Vineyards is a must visit while you are in Fredericksburg! My friend and I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon about an hour before close and left with a customized tasting from the owner. I can't say how great our experience was, the wine was excellent and the charcuterie board we had was great. The wine menu is curated by the owner from various regions of Italy, France, and Germany and is outstanding. They are also completing construction of a beautiful tasting room this fall, can't wait to go back and see it! read more

We came by Alexander Vineyards after receiving multiple recommendations for a boutique winery that did red wines. It's kind of strange at first, because the tasting room is located in a house, but once you open the door, you see a modern tasting room. There are a few different small tasting bars perfect for a party of two to three people. It offers your group some privacy, yet you're never too far away from others who are also indulging in wine. There are two winery dogs that love to be pet. I went to take a picture of one and he gave me this look like "you really just want to take my picture and not pet me?" The dogs are really easy going and usually just find a place to plop down and take a little nap until something exciting catches their eyes. The day we were there only one champagne was available for tasting, but not even available for purchase. It was kind of a let down since we had really wanted to start our first winery of the day with bubbles. This is the only winery in the area that does not source local grapes. All of the grapes come from France and that is why they can call their champagne, champagne instead of sparkling wine. They also paired a few of our wines with cheese and chocolates. It was a really nice touch. We weren't huge fans of the wines on their owns, but once paired, we were impressed. read more

The place is nice but If you prefer reds, this is not your place. It took forever just to do a tasting. Service was extremely slow.

We did the premium tasting to start our day. Alex did a great job being approachable and knowledgeable. The facility is stunning without the noise that plagues other places nearby. Highly recommend. read more

We stopped by this place for a tasting based on the good yelp reviews. We had a good time, but really nothing special. The wines are not grown there and imported from Europe. That's fine, but if they're going to do that, I would expect them to be a little better. Our waitress even described some of them as "table wines." Overall, just pretty average experience. read more

Alexander Vineyards - Wine on the patio. - Wineries Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

Very pleasant location with open fields around you and nice outdoor seating. Tasting room is small, new, and sort of like walking up to a backdoor to a house. Sold out of any champagne unfortunately. A bit different than other wineries in the area, in that he's partnering with established european wine makers and rebranding wines from various regions. While that made for some nicely done wines, it was a bit off of a Texas wine experience. It'll still be fun to see what styles of wines they have on future trips, and how they expand into more Texas sourced wine. read more

Betsy! Thank you for your excellent service. I learned a great deal about wine and really enjoyed the offerings here. They only offer grapes from outside TX, it seems most of their wines were from France or Italy. We liked that you could make your own tasting selections and that we were able to relax outdoors while the wines were brought out to us. I found the wine to be superior to most of the other wineries in the area. I will say from the street this place is very unassuming, we thought it was private residence and then saw a trailer with their brand and realized we had arrived. Bonus if you drive a Tesla- they do have a free plug and they waved us into driveway so we could charge! I was disappointed that both the cheese plate and the Grand Cru had sold out the night before at a member event. After drinking their other options, I bet their bubs are great! Cheers AV! Delicious! read more

Clay was exceptional at providing us with different taste for different people. Gorgeous view. Great cheese tray. Great wines and champagne. Ribolla Gialla was the fave! Excellent place to try! Not to expensive. Looking forward to tasting room! read more

The wines I tasted here were by far my favorites of all the vineyards we went to on our trip to Fredericksburg! The tasting room is quaint and unassuming, but the wine will blow you away. The tastings were paired with amazing blue cheese, olive oil, and chocolate and it was just so delightful how well they went together, and really changed or brought up different flavors in the wines. And the lady who did our tasting, I think her name was Dana? Was insanely knowledgeable about the different wine regions, vines and their ages, and just really taught us so much throughout the tasting. I highly highly recommend this place!!! And the view outside is gorgeous. Wonderful visit, so glad we came here!!! read more

We honestly had THE BEST wine tasting experience here. Dana treated us to an amazing tasting with wines, cheeses, oils and completely blew us away with her knowledge of wines and champagnes. Everyone in our group thought it was the best wine tasting ever. HIGHLY recommend. We each bought bottles to take with us. The views of the moon rising were incredible, as well read more

They are no longer in the trailer and now have a nice, small, intimate tasting room. Follow the sign past the trailer to get to the tasting room. Dana was amazing and very informative during our Champagne tasting. 4 tastes for $20 but this is fabulous champagne. The first one was beautiful - I could drink it any day of the week and twice on Sundays ;) The second Champagne is very flavorful and I think it screams out to be paired with a triple cream Brie cheese or maybe some jarlsburg cheese and almonds? Very complex. The third was also delicious and the rose was good but I didn't like it as much as the first 3. There are two very nice dogs at the tasting room but it was also very clean and they were very well behaved so I don't think anyone will have issues with allergies. All of the wines are made abroad and imported here so the wines start around $50 a bottle. read more

Alexander Vineyards - Delicious and very informative Champagne tasting! We will be back to try the reds! - Wineries Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

We originally went to Alexander in July of 2015 and it was a perfect late afternoon with Champagne. We revisited last weekend and found some things exactly the same and some different. I love the "our tasting room may suck, but our wines sure don't" sign. Once inside the little tasting room, we tried the Grande Cru I believe it was and meh. Unfortunately they were out of most of their Champers, so we moved over to the whites and reds. We both got a glass, hung outside in the nice weather and sipped away. We sat under an awesome tree and took in the quiet surroundings. The winery is sparse at best, but that's fine by us. We popped back in and picked up a bottle of each and headed on our way. Doggies are cute and hang around peacefully. read more

Overall I enjoyed my experience at Alexander's. The view is gorgeous. it's a simple and quaint place to relax and enjoy imported wine. However the girl Amelia spoke about each wine like she was reading out of a script. She had an attitude and rolled her eyes at me at a simple request. She wasn't very pleasant or accommodating. The customer service- not so great. read more

Alright, this place does not look like much. Seriously when we pulled in my hubby was like...uhhh, what? But we were kid free so we went ahead. Thank goodness we did because the wine is GREAT! It's not grown in Texas, or even the USA for that matter. It's from Europe but hand crafted (for the Alexander wine) by the owner and then shipped to the US. They do sell some other vineyards wines too from across Europe. We bought a ton from here and were super duper pleased with our purchases. Will definitely be coming again. read more

Departure from the average. Wine tasting was great. Every wine presented was excellent. Don't miss this tasting room. It's small, but the wines are the showcase. The scenery cannot be beat, across the street is a thoroughbred horse farm and fields of wildflowers. How can you beat that? read more

Small winery with tasting room as a trailer. However, the small tasting room does not do the wine offered justice. Upon entering the tasting room, we were welcomed with open arms to start a tasting. They have 3 different tastings offered, all with a variety of wines for each palate. Wines are delicious and unique in that they offer wines from various counties. The tastings are led by very knowledgable hosts. Unfortunately, there were sold out of champagne during our time of visit, but that did not deter me from buying some wines from their selections. Don't be fool by first glance of this vineyard, I would highly recommend this place to anybody looking for a unique and amazing tasting opportunity. read more
