    Talked my husband into taking me to a vineyard while spending the weekend in Fredericksburg. My dad had told us that he heard good things about Becker Vineyards so that is where we went on Saturday afternoon around 3:30. The drive up to the parking lot from the highway is lovely as are the buildings on the property. We were able to purchase a tasting at the front desk upon arrival and given tickets so that we could get our drinks at the indoor or outdoor bar. The service at both bars was friendly and helpful. There were also a good number of people there that afternoon but it didn't feel crowded and it didn't affect our experience. They had lots of products to browse as well as a small food menu if you were feeling snacky. Overall it was a really nice experience, but, and I want to say this in the nicest way possible, the wine is still Texas wine.

    This is one of the most established wineries along the 290 corridor. Their first vintage was back in 1995. If you plan on visiting the winery, it is not located directly on 290, it's about a mile down Jenschke road. Out of the 11,000 Texas wineries, they are the largest producer and use 25% of all the grapes grown in the state. I came here with a large group of wine enthusiasts and we got the grand tour. Along with their impressive facilities and barrel rooms they have a very large tasting room where you can purchase many of their wines that you won't see featured in stores. Most of their wines sit between the $20 and $50 price point. They do offer a 20% industry discount if you work within the alcohol business. And yes, they'll flip the tip screen over on you. Unlike many of the wineries in the area, they do actually have the ability to serve chef prepared meals for your wedding rehearsal or family /work gathering. They have a complete separate dining room for those events. Our group had lunch in that dining room with a wine pairing menu. Definitely one of the most notable wineries in the area that should be on your must visit list. Very informative photos included to get you through the door.

    Few places are as inviting or enjoyable as Becker Vineyards!! The vision of Dr. Richard and Bunny Becker has become an elegant reality. It's a must stop.

    Beautiful space, ample room to roam and walk through their beautiful winery. You're welcomed with a complimentary tasting of Primavera Rose after purchasing your tasting. On the back side of the tasting room, there's a field of lavender and flowers, great for pictures.

    We had a eating good, laughing hard, wine dranking time! Loves Becker Vineyard hosted an even with venders and live music right before the summer. This event has made me feel super fancy. Funny fact is sometimes you have to go south south to see the bueaty of Austin and when we hopes in thr car to BV it was scheduled to rain real nice. I loved going to see thr grapevines up close and speaking with the venders.

    O.M.G! This is a true gem!! I did a lot of research for the first time going to Fredricksburg and a winery. Everyone was sooooo nice! I felt like someone important and great customer service is so hard to find. I didn't feel pressured to get a wine membership like I've read from reviews of other locations. I willingly purchased wine after the tasting because it was truly delicious and affordable! (Less than $30). Kim was amazing, knowledgeable and she just let us feel so relaxed. I will be telling all of my friends and family of Becker Vineyards! Thank you for the most amazing day!

    The dinner table

    My wife and I enjoyed two events at Becker Vineyards, part of their monthly lunch/dinner events. The first one was the Sat 12/23/2023 lunch event, and the second one was the 02/09/2024 Valentine day dinner. Both events were beautifully prepared by their event team. The Christmas lunch was setup as a long table in their Lavender Haus, which is an old fashioned building with the warmth of the west. The Valentine dinner was setup with tables of 8 people. Either way, it was very well laid out. The first thing that impresses is the number of wine glasses per person (7 or so). You know you are going to have fun! Both menus were prepared by their French chef, Jean Claude Balek from Napa, CA. They are crafted with excellent ingredients, and inventive flavors. You can read all about it in my wife's review (Shonel G.), who also "leveraged" all my pictures I had shared with her on WhatsApp, so I don't have much new to show here! What I want to say is that this is a nice venue, the service is awesome and the wine is really, really good. We are so far from the early wines of TX when I came to this country in the late 90s... Also, the Becker family attends these events, including their latest baby girl, which we find adorable! Please keep doing this, it's a fun adventure for us and a nice excuse to drive to the Fredericksburg area.

    We attended the 2024 VALENTINE'S DINNER FRI. FEB. 9 and it was just as nice as the dinner at Christmas time. It was hosted in the lavender house a rustic farm house style building on the property. The tables were perfectly decorated with clear chargers with gold accents, dusty rose table napkins, dusty rose tea rose accents on the chargers and also as a focal detail in the middle of the table. Each place setting included a menu. This was a perfect introduction to the wine pairings and courses. The meal started with the Poached Oysters and Pearls with Caviar Nage It was accompanied by the 2022 Jolie (one of my favorites)& the 2020 Chardonnay Reserve Let me be honest I didn't know I loved poached oysters till this evening! Next course was the Beets with Citrus salad that included Chicories, a touch of Chèvre & Tarragon this was paired with the 2022 Viognier Reserve- Six Harts Vineyard and the 2020 Barbera. Next was the perfectly cooked Texas Wagyu & Lobster, Foie Whipped Celeriac, Local Mushrooms & Black Truffles. They paired this dish with the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve- Canada Family Vineyard & the 2018 Ranger Hays ( I really enjoyed this one) Lastly we moved on to dessert a Triple Chocolate Mousse, Champagne Liqui Gels, Berries this was paired with a Port. If you love wine, upscale dinning and or just an excuse to do something a little different this is your place. You can go on the website and buy tickets to an event. I have attended twice and I will be back! This place does have something for everyone, smaller tastings and group tastings are also available.

    I have visited quite a few vineyards in the Fredericksburg area. I place Becker at the number 1 position. The wine, the service, the ambiance are absolutely perfect.

    Beautiful space, nice wine, wish it were a little more structured of a wine tasting with information given instead of here are your tickets, order what you want, but the service was great the day we were there and the inside bar seemed to give more details than the girls outside.

    Becker is my favorite vineyard in Fredericksburg. Love the wine and that's its a local brand. They have a good mix of whites, reds, and dessert wines. I usually go for the Cabernet or Tempranillo here. Atmosphere is laid back with lots of space inside or outside patio to enjoy your wine. We did a tasting indoors then got glasses to drink outside. Tasting was decent pour for each taste. The staff was very knowledgeable and would explain each wine's flavor profile, tasting notes, etc. before pouring. They often have live music on weekends, which makes for a fun place. They also offer free wine tours of production and down to the cellar. Definitely recommend this! Great way to see the whole experience without traveling to Napa. In the spring, the backyard is gorgeous as all the flowers are blooming and it looks like a field of colorful flowers. Makes for beautiful sites & photo ops! Becker has become my go-to Texas wine brand when buying local wine at the grocery store. Everytime I'm in Fredericksburg, I have to make Becker a stop!

    Of three vineyards we visited on a recent tasting tour, Becker was the most expensive and most impersonal. Wouldn't pick it the next visit.

    What transportation is allowed to the facility?

    If not traveling in your own vehicle, there are wine tour companies you can schedule with to bring you out to the winery. There is also different local ride share companies.

    Is Becker dog friendly?

    I don't see why not if it stays outside?

    Are food trucks on-site every weekend?

    None when we were there Sat 04/06.

    It's so much so that I joined their wine club (my first wine club) during COVID, when they were shut down for tastings.

    One trip changed a lot for owners Craig Stevens and Chesney Castleberry. During a safari, they…read morewitnessed the tragedy of rhino poaching, an experience that inspired them to get involved in conservation and create a sanctuary. Their 55-acre property became a home for Blake, their Texas-born rhino. And there is a winery here, too! Since opening in '22, it has become a natural extension of their passion for fine wine and a meaningful way to support their conservation efforts. The estate now includes nearly 10 acres of Tempranillo, Sangiovese, Merlot, & Malbec. With most vines in their 4th leaf, estate TX wines are still on the way, but visitors can already enjoy excellent Texas wines made from High Plains fruit along with South African ones. The McPhersons have helped craft many of the Texas wines, while Dr. Bob Young has contributed red wines aged in Texas oak. A team of South African winemakers helps support wines made from the Stellenbosch, Elgin, and the coastal area. The tasting room and back patio offer spacious seating, beautiful views of the Pedernales Valley, and direct views of Blake. The north-facing wine tasting patio is an extra plus design to have, especially with the Texas summer heat. For your testing selection, you'll have a list to choose from. For this tasting session a mix of South African & Texas (both reds & whites) were sampled. Starting off with the Sumatran Sparkles, this South African sourced bubbly is Pinot Grig based with notes of honeysuckle and citrus. Next from SA was their Wijde Sparkling. This white bubbly was blended with 53% Chard, 46% Pinot Noir, & 1% Pinot Meunier. It expressed itself with a floral aroma coupled with acidity and a bit of pear. Following that were two of the Crash label brands. Both Pinotage based, with the dry version a nice and light easy drinking wine featuring notes of strawberries with bright acidity. The sweet Pinotage bubbly version (lightly sweet) exhibited more of a cream sensation with a touch of cherries. Moving on to white wines, the first sipped was the '24 Albariño. This TX white wine has some good pineapple notes giving a pleasant tropical finish. The next white was the Texas High Plains 2025 Viognier. Sourced from Lahey, this one was quite impressive with apricot and lemon. The next Texas red was the '24 Horn Red Blend. This High Plains sourced fruit, comprised of 40% Malbec, 25% Dolcetto, 25% Sangiovese, & 10% Petite Sirah, had notes of clove and cherry going for it with even tannins and acidity. Texas Mourvèdre has been making big waves in the Texas wine industry, and their 2023 vintage has Grenache blended with it to yield an intense fruit forward wine with blackberry to satisfy the nose and palate. The final TX red wine sampled was the '24 Sangiovese. With cherry, raspberry, and a touch of spice, this classic Italian varietal was quite satisfying. For the South African red wines, the '22 Cab Franc was the first to sip. Part of the winery's Keras collection, this bold wine was loaded with big tannins and had a firm mouth gripper! Following that were two '22 Cabernet Sauvignons. One was also from the Keras collection with deep cocoa and raspberry notes and a fine tannic finish. Not quite as bold, but still big, the other Cab wine displayed more blackberry and plum notes with a bit of leather. Rounding out the tasting adventure was the '23 Five Species. This Bordeaux style blend had Cab Sauv, Cab Franc, Malbec, and some Petit Verdot blended to craft a well-balanced, smooth, and elegant wine to savor all evening. With a long family history in the Hill Country spanning more than a century, Craig & Chesney are adding their own chapter to the region's evolving story. The estate offers one beautiful surrounding scenery, dedicated up-close viewing sessions with Blake, and local artwork displayed throughout the tasting room. At its heart, this place is a true rhino conservation effort, strengthened by excellent wines from South Africa and Texas that help support the mission. It is a unique gem in the Texas Hill Country. Cheers!

    This is a must visit in Fredricksberg!…read more The people are so nice and help you pick out a wine based on your preferences. They have an outdoor patio and indoor seating and most importantly a rhino living in the back!
