    Another nice experience at Augusta Vin. Our 3rd visit in about 12 months. We are at the mid-point of our visit to hill country and we knew we needed to visit Augusta Vin. We've done tastings here before and we know what we prefer, so now we just order glasses of their Merlot. We'd just come from lunch so we didn't eat anything here this time but we've enjoyed their food in the past. Our server here was quite pleasant, as they all have been each time we've been here. They do a great job of hiring and training. We look forward to our next visit to Augusta Vin.

    Bruschetta with a sparkling wine.

    Nice venue but not a fan of the winery caste system here where you can't visit most parts of their winery unless a "member." We split a glass of mediocre sparkling wine and shared the bruschetta (not bad).

    If you're looking for a sophisticated tasting experience in the Hill Country, Augusta Vin is a standout. The entire atmosphere is elevated. A huge shoutout to Forbes, who was a fantastic host. Having a knowledgeable and personable guide makes all the difference in a tasting. The views of the estate vineyards from the patio are absolutely stunning. It's the perfect backdrop for a slow afternoon. We sampled the small bites, and they did not disappoint. The food is clearly well-thought-out and pairs beautifully with the wines. Just a heads-up for pet owners--this winery is not dog-friendly, so you'll want to leave your furry friends at home for this one.

    My friends, husband, and I had an amazing first wine tasting experience at Augusta Vin Winery thanks to Brittany, Bob, and Haley! As people who don't know much about wine, we really appreciated how welcoming and approachable they were from the moment we arrived. Brittany took the time to learn what we all liked and explained everything in a way that felt easy to understand and never overwhelming. Brittany, Bob, and Haley created such a fun, relaxed, and inviting atmosphere that made the entire experience so enjoyable. If you visit, I highly recommend asking for Brittany in the tasting room and Haley in the clubhouse. Bob will be happy to walk you to both! We'll definitely be back. Thank you, Bob, Brittany, and Haley!

    Okay before I even start ask for Shay- she made our experience here amazing. It was my first winery stop ever and I am so glad I stopped by. All the samples I got were phenomenal and she was so sweet in explaining what was what and sold it for me to get a bottle of wine of my favorite the rose. I would love to come back soon! Beautiful location, amazing staff, incredible wine 10/10

    During our weekend trip to Fredericksburg we had the pleasure of enjoying a production tour with Brett. He was very knowledgeable and super charismatic! He led a great tour and gave great wine recommendations! He definitely sold us on the products and we ended up going home with a few bottles! I would say Augusta Vin and a tour with Brett is a MUST when you come to visit! The winery is super cute and aesthetic! Definitely picture perfect for group, couple, or solo pictures!

    This is such a beautiful winery. We had a lovely Sunday couple of hours here, had some of their bubbly, and there was a gentleman playing live music, which was a very nice touch. We got to sit upstairs in the member lounge, and the view is just gorgeous. I highly recommend this winery. The staff are very friendly, and I love all their wines, not to mention it's absolutely gorgeous here!

    Best time! Went right at 11 and had no wait. Server was so kind and knowledgeable on the food and wine. The weather was awesome and love the patio seating

    Went on a Friday and originally was going to sit outside but the tasting was like $40 for 5 pours but it's only $25 if you sit at the bar. After confirming there was no real difference in the wines we chose to sit at the bar. We were told you couldn't order from the food menu at the bar and the tasting would be "sped up." Seems like a money grab in my opinion which is why I'm deducting a star. Additionally the members only clubhouse and the vineyard is only accessible to the general public Mon-Thurs so don't expect stunning views like on social media. As far as the tasting we still felt the sommelier was informative and passionate about the wines. He provided lots of detail and gave recommendations when we went to buy additional glasses. He was running around in between customers but when he was with us he gave us his full attention and was thoughtful. All the wines we had were delicious and I would return to see the clubhouse if I was in the area.

    Arrived to the tasting room and seated at the bar with no view of the vineyards. We spent over $100 on wine and charcuterie. We then went to walk around the grounds since we didn't get to see much and were yelled at from across the lot for walking down this dirt path (not the vineyard itself) to look at the vineyard by a lady stating that only members could walk on this specific dirt path. The membership area was empty and we were not obstructing anyone's view. This area was not enclosed nor were there any signs. Strange experience, will not be back especially after spending so much and not being able to spend even 1 minute looking at the actual vineyard. Another couple said they were also yelled at for the same thing. If you don't want people walking down this area then at least put up a sign so your guests aren't yelled at like children after giving you business.

    Fantastic bottle of Merlot! ($43) Also, an enjoyable selection of tastings ($40 per, either a mixed tasting or reds only). Ample space, inside and out, with designated areas for member-only. Very elegant and modern design, clearly new. Happy 5 years! While Augusta is another one of Wine Country's venues that don't allow outside food, there is quite the variety of food choices, including charcuterie, sandwiches and sweets. (Ranging from $10-$75). Similar to other venues, the prices do seem inflated (and unreasonable) and I do wish we could just bring our own snacks and enjoy the vineyard's wine. While I'm sure it's not often necessary, we do think that a few patio heaters could be beneficial for guests or, at the least, a functioning fire in the fire place on colder days (especially during the holidays). Pro Tip: Pack a few blankets to enjoy your choice of wine on the colder days.

    One of my favorite wineries in Fredericksburg. The grounds are beautiful and the staff was nice. I ordered their Rosé and enjoyed it.

    *IF YOU'RE READING THIS & ARE CURRENTLY AT AUGUSTA VIN WITH A SERVER NAMED ADAM - JUST GET UP AND LEAVE NOW.* Now, for everyone else reading this review, please settle-in for the unfortunate tale of how Adam, a server for Augusta Vin, single-handedly ruined the bachelorette festivities of a dear friend of mine this past Saturday. (Don't worry though because the story has a happy ending - the amazing team at the female-run Barelle Vineyards redeemed the day for us) For added context - There were 6 women in my party. Of those 6, only the bride-to-be had ever visited Augusta Vin. Of the wineries on our agenda that day, Augusta Vin was her one personally requested stop. For everyone else, this was our first, and I'm pretty positive, last time visiting. We arrived shortly after 1 pm and entered the main public building for non-members. We arrived at a busy time for the winery, as there was a short line at the door just to be seated. However, as our table did not want to do a guided tasting, the two friendly hostesses at the front were able to immediately seat us on the back patio. Upon being sat, we were almost immediately greeted by a female server with bottled waters that she dropped off at the table. Quick clarifying note here - she did not ASK if we wanted the waters - she literally said "Here are some waters for you guys." She also brought more bottles than our group needed. We did not realize until we received the check that there is a $1 charge for each bottle. So just an FYI for when you're visiting. After this female server dropped off the bottled waters, we were not acknowledged for about 20 minutes-to the point we were literally starting to think that if you sat on the patio you had to go inside and order from the bar. A member of our party was on the way to the bar in fact when our server, the infamous Adam, finally made his introduction. The first words out of Adam's mouth in his greeting to us was that the team was short staffed & had run out of basically all food except charcuterie. This was fine, because we already knew we just wanted bottles. We informed Adam we definitely wanted a bottle of the Albariño but were stuck between two Rosés and wanted to sample each in order to make a decision. With this update, Adam wasn't seen again for about another 10-15 minutes. When he did arrive again, he had the bottle we ordered and the 2 Rosés to try. Once we settled on the Rosé, Adam poured 4 out of the 6 of us a glass of the Albariño (which WAS delicous btw) - the bride specifically opted out and told him she would wait for the Rose. He said he would be "right back" with a bucket of ice for the Albariño and with the bottle of Rosé. That "right back" turned into 31 minutes. At around the 25 minute mark, we flagged down a passing hostesses to ask her for our check. By this point we'd been there for over an hour with 2 in our party (most importantly the bride to be herself) having no wine to drink and the rest of us drinking warm Albariño since Adam never showed back up with an ice bucket. It was about 5 minutes after we flagged the hostess down to ask for our check that Adam finally showed back up like no time had passed, ready to yank the cork out of the Rosé. A member of our party politely, but firmly, stated we were no longer interested in the Rosé at this point and simply wanted the check for the one bottle as we had an Uber on the way with an ETA of 10 minutes. Adam said Ok and turned heel & in typical Adam fashion was not seen again. As our Uber was arriving, we left the patio & began walking up front to 1) flag the Uber down to let them know where our group was & 2) attempt to pay at the hostess stand. While our group was walking across the indoor dining area towards the front/hostess area, Adam spotted us while he waiting on a table seated indoors. He proceeded to yell across the room at us like we were a bunch of wine thieves, "You need to check out with me for that Albariño." I informed him we'd be waiting, per usual for him, at the front. During the checkout process with my friend who was paying he had a very condescending attitude and attempted to charge us for the Rosé at first! He even made a comment about knowing he wasn't getting a tip. I recognize the vineyard was busy this day. It was a beautiful September Saturday after all. I'm sure Adam was probably working more tables than he should have. However, we watched EVERY SINGLE TABLE around us on the patio, including another bachelorette party that had 15 attendees, receive consistent service throughout the hour & a half we were there. We couldn't even get the bottle we ordered or an ice bucket. *Apparently you're also supposed to receive complimentary chocolate cake when you're there, which we saw everyone around us receive but obviously we did not* This put a huge damper on the bachelorette festivities, but fortunately Fredericksburg is full of other amazing vineyards (like Barelle) even if Augusta Vin isn't one.

First and foremost I appreciate the professionalism shown by Cadye with her prompt emails and answering all of my questions. She and Clint put together an awesome itinerary, our only ask was to tour Slate Theory. Everything else was suggested and curated by Cellar Rat. Second I appreciate Clint, for the whole experience the day of the tour. We paid for a private tour and it was just that. He sent a text the morning of the tour to let me know when he was set to arrive. He arrived 1 minute early in the SUV and greeted us when we came out. He had a cooler in the truck with ice and water. He is well versed in all things vino and super down-to-earth. We started the tour at Texas Wine Collective where they rolled out the red carpet. We were doing the tour on a Monday so we pretty much had the whole winery/tasting room to ourselves. Sandy at Texas Wine Collective was awesome, ask for her if you visit. While we did our tasting, Clint went to grab our lunch from Fresh Pickens. The food was AWESOME! It hit the spot definitely after all the wine and cheese Sandy gave us! After lunch, we took some photos around the property then hopped in the SUV and on to the next winery, Kuhlman Cellars. Where we were met by Malachi. Malachi served us a flight of 5 wines, 3 selected by Kuhlman and 2 selected by my wife and me. We took a couple of photos out near the vines then headed on to the last winery, Slate Theory. Slate Theory's tasting room is by far the best experience. Words can't explain it. By the time we got to Slate Theory we didn't really want to learn about the wine, we just wanted to drink; and that we did. We hung out there for about an hour before heading back to the Airbnb. Great day of drinking! Met some awesome people and got to enjoy my wife on our anniversary. Clint knew everybody by the way, definitely makes the difference when you visit because you feel like family at each location. The only thing I would change about the tour would be to add an actual tour of the facilities and vineyard to the experience. I'm a visual learner and it would be cool to tour the distillation area and barreling process while learning about the wines. All in all, I give Cellar Rat Tours 5 STARS "A+++". PS: Slate Theory charged us for the wine tasting and Clint stepped in and handled the situation and orchestrated the refund to our credit card. This guy does it all! He's our main man for real. Thank you, Clint and Cadye! Many blessings to you and your business!
