What a great stop on anybody's wine tour! We stopped by with no reservation and were met with such great hospitality! We opted for the wine tasting which was filled with great variety and yummy sips. Andy was amazing and explained the wines every step of the way, even gave us an extra wine if we answered a trivia question. Besides the wine, the view is impeccable!! read more

Sandy Road Vineyards - Wineries Near Me - Johnson City, Texas

The wine is amazing, Bryan and Andy are great and we love coming here. The food and conversation are always wonderful as well.

Got a recommendation to visit this winery on the way back to Liberty Hills, TX. Glad we accepted the recommendation as this was a great family owned winery with many wines that is produced exclusively from grapes grown in the field in front of us as we drank the wine. We really enjoyed the Neighborly as it was one of the best offerings. The Grenache and Sangiovese were also very good and we bought all 3 of these wines. As you can see in the photographs this is great venue for just lounging in the sun or in the shady pavilion. If you have a large group and want a private tasting from the tree house, that would something very memorial. I recommend having reservations as there's not much space in the pavilion and the tree house would need to be reserved too. read more

I can finally check "visit a Texas vineyard" off of my adventure list! Only about an hour north of San Antonio, Sandy Road Vineyards is located out in the beautiful hills near Fredericksburg, which is home to the nation's second-largest wine country. Who knew?! We chose to do a wine flight along with a charcuterie board while we listened to the host tell us all of the great things about the vineyard. Once the tasting was over, we were able to take a walk through the vineyard and visit the treehouse, which offers a STUNNING rooftop view of the entire property. Overall, this place ended up being a great location for a double date outing and one that I would highly recommend. Things to Note: - The road to get the vineyard consists of gravel and dirt, including the parking lot, so you may want to leave the convertible at home. - The bathroom facilities are in an outhouse, but a VERY nice one, that consists of one large room. - This location is obviously outside, so if bugs are an issue for you, I would think about reconsidering. read more

One of my friends booked the treehouse wine tasting for our bachelorette group of 11, and it was a lot of fun. While the wines were good and the views pretty, Andy was the star of the show - we loved getting to know him along with the wine and vineyard. 10/10 would do again. read more

Sandy Road Vineyards - Headed up to the "treehouse" for our wine tasting! - Wineries Near Me - Johnson City, Texas

Made our way out to Fredricksburg. Not going to lie. Thought I was going to someone's farmhouse as we pulled into this winery. We passed a couple of cows that weren't fenced in casually minding their own business and beautiful long horns (those were fenced in) Ordered wine tastings from here and had a lovely server. He gave us details on each of the wines. One that caught my eye was the one that had an almost orange ish tint. The tasting was so good. The standout for me was the Tempranillo. The vibe was so nice here, relaxing and they even have a treehouse area you can rent out if you have a larger party. Overall great place to visit and you must try the Tempranillo! read more

Reserved a private tasting in the tree house for my birthday and the view didn't disappoint! We went around 1pm in September and there was a pleasant breeze the whole time. The treehouse is built beautifully surrounding a big oak tree! Just gorgeous. We had Andy leading our tasting and he was spectacular. Very knowledgeable on wine - I learned details about variety of grapes, wine stoppers, methods of culturing, and most of all - the best wines for different environments! He really made our visit memorable and contributed much to the experience. We arrived a bit early to our reservation so we hung out at the Pavilion and met with Bryan! He was hospitable and told us the history behind the property and timeline of the vineyard. We purchased three bottles to take home (Albariño, Tempranillo, and Sangiovese), they were carefully packaged in a special cardboard box with a handle. We purchased the charcuterie board for two and this is the only area I felt could use some improvement in terms of presentation! I'd recommend the private treehouse sitting for birthdays, bachelorettes, date night or girls night out. Reserved a private tasting in the tree house for my birthday and the view didn't disappoint!

Came here with a girlfriend in the fall and had an absolute amazing time. The two of us were the occupants at the time which we loved at the time, since we'd been on Main Street in fredricksburg all day and all the wine cellars were overcrowded. The vineyards were so beautiful and we even got a visit from the cutest guest (a cow). The wine was also very reasonably priced and I fell in love with the treehouse. Can't wait to visit again this summer with my girlfriend for her bachelorette weekend. read more

Great venue and awesome Texas Hill Country estate wines. Friendly family owned and operated winery. Schedule a tasting in the treehouse or just hangout in the pavilion and take in the view. read more

Each wine in the tasting was good, which usually is not something we say. They were all balanced and on the drier side. Nicely done! Also the grounds were beautiful :) read more

Sandy Road was a great final stop on our wine trip. We sat up in the treehouse with Andy serving us, and had the best time. We booked the 5pm tasting, and saw an amazing sunset in the peaceful Hill Country. Andy was very knowledgeable, and did a fantastic job with our big group of 10. The wines were all delicious...but everyone's favorite was the Marselan! Although the main tasting room is still being built, we loved the smaller feel, and the great wine. We will definitely be back again! read more

Great intimate experience. This was everyone's everyone's favorite winery of the day. I am giving it 5 stars because everyone liked the wines and the setting, but personally I was not a fan of the wine. I do not like that they don't distill their wines so there is a lot of sediment in the bottles. I am use to my Napa wines like Silverado and Miner and this just couldn't come close to comparing. But you really go for the experience and our host was fantastic! read more

Came here with a group of 6 friends and opted in for the treehouse tasting. The tasting was great, very informative, and loved the private elevated area. It's very shady which is great for warmer weather. We each walked away from the tasting purchasing at least one bottle each - so I highly recommend all the wines. I would personally skip the charcuterie add-on. It was one small plate for 6 people. Bring your own snacks, stay, and enjoy the wine and live music. read more

Sandy Road Vineyards - Private wine tasting - Wineries Near Me - Johnson City, Texas

We enjoyed our stop into Sandy Roads. It was on a whim so we called to make sure they could accommodate a drop in. They confirmed so we drove over. We love how it's set back off the road. It's very small but full of charm and personality. Only one lady was there to serve everyone which made us spend a lot of time waiting. To the point it felt excessive. But we understand it's a small space with an intimate vibe The most disappointing part was the wine. It was just okay. A few of them had a rough bite at the end leaving a bad aftertaste. It's not our favorite and for this reason alone we probably won't return. read more

Andy was the best guide ever!!! The wines were delicious and the view is amazing. I was very pleased with the experience and we bought 3 bottles of wine, became a member, and our wine tasting was complimentary. read more

The tree house wine tasting is an experience you must do! You'll get awesome service, personal attention, stories of the history of the family land and wine maker. The wine is very good. We had a charcuterie board with our experience. It was a treat to taste great wine overlooking the acres of grapes which were used to make the wine while shaded by the beloved family tree. read more

We had a beautiful private tasting here. Andy did an awesome job telling us about the wines, the winemaking decisions, and the winemakers. All the wines were wonderful. I loved the Pet Nat the most but the majority of our party liked the "Good as Gone." The treehouse and vineyard are just lovely when we went in the spring. read more

I can't speak hugely to the wine because I was DD - but in terms of experience this place is perfect for a group! A rather off-the-beaten-path location means we probably wouldn't have discovered it of ourselves own accord - but some friends had been just before the lock down started and had raved about it. I'm glad they did - when we arrived they had set up our group of ten at a beautiful tasting table in a treehouse - great views + breeze + privacy + novelty. We loved it! Super friendly, knowledgable staff who struck the right balance between informing / letting us be. We will absolutely add this to our roster when we come out to wine country. read more

Look no further, this winery is AMAZING!!! Family-owned and operated with amazing wines. Such a peaceful and gorgeous venue -- perfect for a romantic date or group outing. My husband and I booked a tasting for our anniversary and had the BEST time. We were initially disappointed that the tree top was booked, but we ended up LOVING the beautiful new pavilion. We learned so much about Texas wines and purchased several bottled after our tasting. Book now before everyone finds out about this place! read more

Great wine! Great service! We love the tree house winery! Good cheeses. For Fredericksburg this is a must stop for some one who appreciates wine. read more

First time visiting Sandy Road Vineyards this weekend. It was my first time ever visiting a vineyard so I was really looking forward to it. Debated giving 3 stars because I booked a reservation over a month ago for the Private Treehouse tasting but when I arrived, I was informed that my friend and I could not do the Treehouse tasting because of the cold weather. This would have been good to know prior to arrival instead of finding out the the moment we showed up. But I'm going to give them 4 stars because it seems I may have gotten a discount for not being able to fulfill my reservation (?) and Bryan was nice. I would recommend but definitely make sure you'll be able to do the Treehouse before arriving if you're going in cooler weather and possibly bring your own plastic ware as there wasn't any available when we went. But even if you don't book the Treehouse, the pavilion is nice. read more

I went here for my birthday, and I was blown away! The view from the treehouse is spectacular, and the quiet is so calming. In addition, their wine is wonderful! Everyone that worked her is so polite and warm, not snooty or anything like some other wineries. I had an amazing time, and I can't wait to go back. read more

We had a great tasting here today with Bryan. This is a small winery a bit off the beaten path. Very low key, but a great tasting. Our favorites were the Sangiovese and Tempranillo. If you are looking for sweet wine, this is not the place. I would recommend Sandy Hill if you are in the area.. read more

Sandy Road Vineyards - Vineyards - Wineries Near Me - Johnson City, Texas

I cannot say enough good things about this winery and the family that owns/operates it! Wine is spectacular, balanced, easy to drink with or without food. From the first time we tried their wines (at a local wine bar) we loved them! After our first visit to their property, we joined the wine club as Case Club Members after a tasting in the "Treehouse". The wine maker and his family really put their heart & soul into the wine, the vines, the venue and the overall experience of visiting their vineyard. It is a MUST TRY for anyone visiting the Texas Hill Country! They are off the beaten path, but it seems like those are the best places these days. read more

Tree-house wine tasting folks! That is what we got here and you can also. A small open patio space more so, built 20′ in the air around a large tree with stunning 360 views around you. On this occasion it was my and Natasha and Bryan our host. You could likely get a tasting for six up here at max plus a host but that smaller size makes for a intimate experience. Bryan is a wiz on all things wine making from Sandy Road as well as the area in general. A really chill guy that clearly loves his job and the work being done on the vineyard now and what's to come as well. It was here at this tasting Natasha and I both noticed an ironic theme of really good Roussane wine was becoming the norm. I actually have to suggest that the 2018 they have here be one you purchase and bring home, I did! Good As Gone is another I really enjoyed very much and feel many others will also. The views here alone in full vine season must be superb Id think...I guess I'll be back in the fall! read more

This is our second time visiting this place and just can't get on board. Ryan (owner) did our tasting and was very impersonable. Super disappointing. It might be a good place for bachelorette parties, but not the place to go if you would like the hill country wine experience. read more

Nice grass roots operation, owner is there almost every time we have dropped by. Wines are good with a nice wine club program worth checking out. If you are looking for a relaxing wine tasting without the Austin bridesmaids party scene this should be on your list. read more

We found a new favorite winery in Sandy Road Vineyards. The experience was amazing and ALL the wines were fantastic. Bryan made the tasting experience very enjoyable. He walked with us down to the vineyard, told us all about the different vines, explained the process of growing them and answered all of our questions. I can't wait to make another trip back to be able to use the treehouse when it isn't raining. Highly recommended! PS.....We joined their wine club to receive their 12 bottle shipment. That is how highly we thought about them. Oh! They even offer free shipping to Texas residents if you join! Join the club and help support an great winery. read more
