    THE BIG: Literally a safari winery right off the 290 wine strip. Tall ceilings with taxidermy animals on the wall and floors. Big backyard with a concert venue and live animals to see! THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here with the wife and a couple of friends visiting from out of town. There was a members pick up party and they were super nice to let us in and enjoy the wines. The wines here are a variety from South America, South Africa, and Texas. For the wine tasting, we got to choose from five of the wines except for the ones with a asterisk. My favorites were the pinotage and the chenin blancs from south africa. Afterwards, we went outside to the back to see the kangaroos getting shade underneath the trees from the hot sun. They're alot smaller than I imagine but very cute. THE FINAL BAMBOO: The entrance and a wine tasting was around $30 and let me tell you, this was a fun time! Animals in the back plus good vibes around the winery makes for a stop next time.

    A fun winery featuring South African and Chilean wine! My husband, friends and I stopped by on a Saturday. They were closed for a pick up party, but they lets us stay and hang for $10pp. The wine was not too bad in my option. They have a ton of different wines, but the wine club only bottles are the best. The restaurant is covered with taxidermy all over the walls. Best part, they have kangaroos in the back it get really hot in the winery, so bring a fan!

    Boogie was an amazing host. Safari was a unique experience filled with animals and wine . I really enjoyed getting to know the staff and the history of the wines in the area.

    What a lovely afternoon at Safari Winery. The staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They are upfront that they do not make wines, but import organic wines. No sulfites!! No headaches! The space is upscale rustic, with a beautiful back seating area that featured live music. We really enjoyed all of the wines and ended buying a membership, so now we have an excuse to head back this fall.

    If you're visiting Fredericksburg and don't stop by Safari Winery, you are seriously missing out--especially if you get the chance to meet Peggy! Peggy absolutely MADE our experience unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, she greeted us like old friends and brought such warmth, humor, and genuine passion to the tasting. You can tell she truly loves what she does, and that energy is contagious.

    We loved this place! We'd stopped here on a previous visit and enjoyed it, so we figured we'd try it again - this time with our small older dog. Safari Winery is dog-friendly. They have a lot of outdoor seating - all of which is suitable for dogs. We took advantage of that. Tinker loved being with us and she enjoyed the space. As the sun got more intense in our outdoor space, we asked if we could bring little Tinker indoors. They said 'yes'. They were so kind about it. It helps that Tinker is a small dog and super friendly and a non-barker. Joslyn was our server and she was very kind and helpful. On our next visit to Fredericksburg, we'll definitely be back to Safari Winery.

    We were greeted for our 13th wedding anniversary with smiles! Had a tasting with Boogie and she was the sweetest lady with such great recommendations! We joined our first wine membership because the wine and the experience were so wonderful! We will be back and as official members! Thank you so much Boogie and we can't wait to see you again!

    We had an amazing experience at Safari Winery, and a huge part of that was thanks to Shari! From the moment we walked in, Shari made us feel welcome and comfortable. She is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain each wine in a way that was easy to understand but still very informative. You can tell she truly knows her craft and has a real passion for wine. She didn't just pour samples -- she shared stories, flavor notes, and helpful tips that made the tasting feel personal and engaging. The wines themselves were outstanding. Every pour had great flavor, balance, and character. It was honestly hard to pick a favorite because they were all so good. Shari's recommendations were spot-on and really elevated the entire experience. If you're visiting Safari Winery, ask for Shari. She turned a simple wine tasting into a memorable experience we'll be talking about for a long time. Highly recommend both the winery and Shari's exceptional hospitality!

    JENNIFER, Thank you! Myself & the girls really enjoyed our wine tasting with you! You had lots of fun info for us! The ambiance of the animals everywhere was so much fun. Can't wait to see you next time!

    We came here on a Sunday for one of their wine pick up events. Our friends are members. This winery was absolutely amazing. Place was poppin! So much hustle and bustle and vibes were just on point. We got to do a wine tasting of 4 wines. They took care of us relatively quickly. Their wines were full bodied and smooth. I did not try anything that I didn't like. They also had a lot of complimentary food to include berries, charcuterie and turkey sliders. You can def spend an entire afternoon here and leave 100% satisfied.

    Great time doing my wine tasting with Letty. Great knowledge and guidance in the wine tasting. Thank you

Our server, Madelyn gave us personal attention, serving us while we enjoyed the view from the patio.

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.

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.

At that time, there was nothing going on and nothing growing so we decided to come back around when spring was happening. So this time around, definitely more popular, more cars and people wanting to check the place out. Essentially I was expecting this to be more of a field of flowers. But, it's basically that (although there wasn't much of it yet, just some flowers to see) and garden decor, pots, gifts, wine, pickled things, plants and LOTS of wildflower seeds to plant at home. The plants, some were decently priced, most were a little pricier. Just depends on which ones. Majority of the ones we wanted were a little better price wise vs going to home depot, at least we think so! We walked around the adventure trail (since it was free) to get some steps in and have the kids burn some of their energy out while roaming around (minus my toddler, she would want to run away and fast haha so I changed my mind on that idea). The trail itself was open, spacious and a great way to get some fresh air. You can be lucky enough to catch some glimpses of some flowers that could be sprouting out even though there's not much! The shops: they had different types of store fronts, one for food/snack/pickled items alongside a small cafe where you can order beer and wine, another for more accessories, clothing and some planting items too! They had standing wine tasting area near the trail walking area if you want to walk around with some wine. Parking: so much parking, so definitely not to worry although I can image it being more difficult when the flowers really bloom in their field.
