The service was top noche, she always came to pour the next sample as I finished the previous tasting. The menu itself is very open, beautiful indoor tasting room with large windows, and a great patio. The clubhouse is for members only and not open to the public during the weekend. That's where the have live music on the weekends and a great view of the vines while enjoying the tastings. I'll def looking into becoming a member because the wine is great and the clubhouse looks super cool!

Another nice experience at Augusta Vin. Our 3rd visit in about 12 months…read more 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.

My husband and I participated in the factory floor experience on our anniversary trip to…read moreFredericksburg and it was the favorite thing we did all weekend! This experience is so much more than a tour. It combines a tour with a little bit of education and lots of hands on experiences. The class size is limited so you really get the best experience possible. We started off with a brief intro on making chocolate and different types of chocolate along with some tastings. Then we learned about tempering chocolate, including how to do it at home ourselves, and we got to dip and decorate strawberries. Making caramel pecan turtles came next followed by a lesson on how their chocolate coating machine works. They actually allowed us to run the machine and cover a variety of goodies in chocolate like caramels, graham crackers, and the turtles we made earlier. We learned about their caramel making process then got to participate in making caramel covered popcorn. They plated up a beautiful plate of chocolates that we had made along with decorations they had demonstrated making, which we then were able to pack up and take home with us. This was an all-around wonderful, enjoyable, and unique experience that provided a great change-up from all the wineries and shopping. The staff were all super kind and helpful as well. We highly recommend the factory floor experience at Hill Country Chocolate in Fredericksburg!

We've been driving around town looking for this place and finally found it. It's not hard - it's just a little out of the main drag of tourists spot, Main St. Find Industrial Loop off 290 and you will get there. Once you get there, the choices are enormous and oh, so tasty! We got here before they opened so we had the place to ourselves. We got to taste their sampler wares and that will whet your choco appetite! We went on a buying spree! Some are gifts but most will be our treat for our taste buds! What a yummy place. As for the service, they are as nice and helpful as they can be. Wow and wow!!

We stumbled into Cuvée during a girls' weekend in Fredericksburg, and it ended up being one of our…read morefavorite stops! We shared a few bottles of rosé and spent way longer than we planned because the atmosphere was just so inviting. The wine bar is set inside a beautifully restored historic home, with several cozy rooms that make it feel like you're relaxing in someone's stylish living room rather than a typical wine bar. It has such a warm, welcoming vibe. We loved that they also have a piano bar with live music in the evenings, it would be such a fun place to spend an evening! The owner even stopped by our table to check on us, chat for a bit, and make sure we were enjoying ourselves. That personal touch really stood out and made us feel so welcome. Whether you're looking for a wine flight, a bottle to share with friends, or just a cozy place to unwind after shopping on Main Street, I highly recommend stopping by. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Fredericksburg!

Apparently singing "friends in low places" in a baritone will get you asked if you are sober enough…read morefor another glass of wine. The two stars is NOT for the piano player Pierson Keating, who is great, for whom I would give 5 Stars. For clarification I have had a total of 3 glasses of wine since noon and it's currently 7 o'clock and I am writing this review as I am leaving. I have a strong understanding of TABC rules and regulations, and this question was misplaced and pretty rude. Pierson, the pianist, asked my group to sing a song we requested because he was unsure of the lyrics, then the staff asked the group to sit down. Not sure if this place is catered to the older crowd or just not accustomed to having girls who like to have a good time, but I wouldn't come back here if you payed me. Staff 2.7/10. Food 6.7/10. Pianist 10/10.

Not sure how updated their inventory is as we were looking for Mama Mango or Mama Pomegranate & the store associate looked it up but said it wasn't in stock. She left & I was in the Moscato section & found the Mama Mango so we snagged a bottle. I had ordered a bottle of Ube Creme Liqueur as my friend texted that it was available so I ordered online for store pickup since I was in the area. I looked at the yummy Sauternes, a lot of which were rated 91+ pts! We have about 3 bottles at home so I just took note. I looked at the other liqueurs like Pistachios, Passion Fruit and the other fruity Moscatos I'd like to try someday. They even had Kosher wines & we were reading some of the labels which had Biblical names & titled. I'm usually buying some Caliveda Pinot Noir which is one of their best sellers. I stock up during the holidays when they have bundle deals. They have such an organized store and even have a Cigar area. They hold tasting classes in the back & upcoming ones will be for wine. We missed the Tequila tasting so we'll check another location. They have great deals as rewards members so sign up!

Awesome customer service. For that one dude. But it was poor customer service for the rest of us in line, who have been to stores before and were courteous enough to arrive at the checkout counter with ALL the merchandise we intended to purchase already. About three minutes into a game I like to call "8,000 bottles of wine - 1 impressively inefficient cashier on duty", I decided it would be best if I try to frequent businesses who are financially solvent enough to staff two or more cashiers during peak hours.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: When walking into the store, it feels like you've stepped into a fridge. What's funnier is that there is a fridge inside the store that's even colder! They have a bunch of great wines for sale and they constantly have a discount bin with some great finds. Staff is very friendly and is always trying to be a helping hand when you're finding your wine. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Highly recommend checking if you're a wine person. Tons of wines to look at, admire, and purchase to celebrate.

Each week they feature a new winery, region, or producer. The staff is very nice, knowledgeable and willing to help while you shop! There's a mini parking lot next to the store or you can opt to park on the street.

We went during spring break. Unfortunately their trail didn't have much flowers blooming.

Finally made the trek over to check out Wildseed Farms. We came across this place accidentally as…read morewe were leaving Enchanted Rock. 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.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: We came here on a Sunday afternoon and the place was relatively quiet, which is nice. There is indoor and outdoor seating and if you sit indoors, you can peer and walk down into their limestone cellar! It does smell pretty musty down there so be warned. We got a tasting and Matt curated the wines. We got 2 whites, a rose and a red. Also a bonus pour. The wines were alright, my favorite was the mourvede. Bathroom had a baby changing station which is always nice! THE FINAL BAMBOO: A wine tasting here was around $15 for 4 tastings. Very pretty view and each wine had a good story behind it.
