The staff is friendly and helpful, including Nacho the dog. Good BBQ can be found here as well. But the real selling point is the time cocktails. They are fantastic. It's a lovely setting to hang out, play some games, and just relax with friends. read more

Incredibly fun place as 3rd Friday trivia nights and other events throughout the year. They have added Rex's creole Kitchen which is cooking great food. To top Vinovium off is their great selection of wines and mixed drinks. read more

This is an amazing, small winery with some of the best wine I've had. Daniel, the owner, made us feel very welcome. Our time there was like hanging out and sharing wine with an old friend. I highly recommend stopping by for a glass of the Petite Sirah. read more

My wife and I came across this place after visiting another winery. You must stop here to meet Daniel and his staff. They have a great wine selection with awesome service. Daniel is very knowledge about wine and mixes up killer wine cocktails. We will definitely be back on our next trip to the area. read more

This was our first stop on a wine tour this weekend and I was not very impressed. The wine was just okay...definitely not good enough to make up for the bad service and lack of seating. We were a large tour group and there wasnt really a lot of room for us to sit. The inside is small and the outside is lacking seating. They did have a couple of good wines. The BBQ was pretty good but also not the best. I was expecting better. read more

Customer service was great! Even let us connect to her speaker to play our own music outside. Felt very at home and the wine is great! Very knowledgeable and great place for beginning wine drinkers. Outside seating is wonderful and dogs are so sweet. read more

See all

Amazing! A must if you're in the area. Great people and wines, and the best wine cocktails you'll ever taste. read more

We love Vinovium! You need to come to trivia night on the third Friday night each month! Love the people here! It is home!

Love, love Daniel and his wine vibe. Visit Vinovium for a late night fun time in the Hill Country. Good friends, great wine.

Excellent venue to relax and enjoy a great glass of Texas wine. Charming crowd and super staff

Great atmosphere!! Trivia night is awesome and the winery is open late.

This was a great place to visit. Daniel has been the utmost in customer service. He knows his stuff!! If wine is not your thing, try the Mr. Edmonds! read more

Spent our 25th Wedding anniversary here!! So fun and delicious wine!! Great service and ambiance!!! Try the Mr Edmonds too!!!! read more

Absolutely adorable. Very relaxed so know why you are coming. Staff is fantastic and very accommodating and willing to share insights. Sally was an amazing hostess!! Overall, a great first stop on the way in to Fredericksburg. Would love to hang out with friends here outside at the end of the day. read more

Where to begin the review of this delighfully unique wine tasting experience. Do I start with the unique business model, the great personality of Daniel, and leave the dog stories a surprise? This is our second visit, having brought our out of state friends on both visits. We returned this trip because of the wonderful experience Daniel had given us in May ( a totally spontaneous " let's try this one") visit . Daniel is very knowledgeable as to the history of Texas wines, the business parameters within the industry, and openly discussed the challenges of the industry. His delivery of information during the wine tasting is complete, enjoyable, and never rushed. The wines are easy on the pallet, (I'd suggest you bring food for a personal tasting) , Daniel will help you with wine pairings, and don't be shocked by seeing "wine on tap" . Not what you expect to see but does fit into the marketing and business model of Vinovium. The wines are outstanding. My favorite at the last tasting was Social Distance and this trip was Marsanne. All great varietals with wonder flavors at both ends of the pallet. PS; If Daniel offers you an expresso/ cafe au lait at the end take him up on it! I think he was a barista in his prior life! read more

Love this place! The atmosphere is laid back and Texas casual. They usually have a band. Beautiful grounds. Their wine cocktails are delicious. AND this winery is open until 10pm! I love that there is a place to go that isn't rushing you out the door at 5! Kick back on the patio, listen to music and enjoy the scenery. read more

Love this place! They will fill reusable bottles from their wine on tap to take home. The Baby Cab is my all-time favorite here, but a close runner up would be the double espresso with port. The perfect pick-me-up after a full day of wine tastings. The indoor and outdoor seating options are nice and good for couples or groups. read more

By far my favorite place to stop along 290! Met Travis and had an amazing time talking for a couple hours. Loved the atmosphere, loved the wines, loved Travis. Ok, I know that sounds a little odd... but I really liked that guy! Vinovium is a great little place to enjoy life with friends and strangers alike. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to relocate from Phx to Austin. read more

Love love love loved the Ocotillo Red! I'm a Chardonnay lover but tried this one & fell in love! We are going to be visiting your Winery soon. Thanks for doing the wine tasting at The Ocotillo Apartments in Austin. Such a delightful treat!!!! read more

This was our last stop on our way home from a weekend in Fredericksburg and it was the perfect way to end the trip! It is one of only a few vineyards that stays open later then 5 or 6 and has a great atmosphere. When you pull up you are greater by nacho, the pup. He is friendly and got along so well with both our dogs. They got to run around and play while we tasted the differrent wines and enjoyed a cheeseboard. This laid back stop was my favorite of all the vineyards we tried. read more

We loved this winery. Outside seating was perfect and they brought our wine tasting to us. Our server was an opera singer and gave us a taste of culture along with our wine. The tasting was the equivalent of 2 glasses of wine. Strongly recommend! read more

We came with a large group on a Sunday and wow, we were delightfully impressed! The friendly staff, the menu offerings, the snacks, and of course the wine tastings are a memory I will savor and sure to remind me that I really want to come back to this place! Vinovium is unlike the other wineries on the trail and offers a unique experience that must be tried to see what I'm raving about. Of course along with the wine, I never knew I could experience sake, wine cocktails, and fresh fruit with wine pairings on a hot summer day at a place like this off the 290 trail. It was perfect and I can't wait to return again with good friends. Highly recommended. read more

Great service. Great cheese. Great wine!! Daniel was friendly & very attentive. We loved the selections in the generous tastings and bought a growler of our fav. The charcuterie platter was awesome. Overall a relaxing fun place and we will return! read more

Loved this place!! Maybe it was the pit bull greeting us at the car and walking us in (I have a thing for pitbullls)! Maybe it was the great wine. Daniel and Jessica were amazing. Check it out. Great wines. Great hosts!!! read more

Stopped here in route to Austin. We wanted to try some wines but the server was very disinterested in helping us. So we picked a bottle and left. Not like most of the wineries I have been to. read more

This is a down to earth winery with great oak trees all around! We were greeted by two sweet dogs and the owner Daniel. He was very welcoming to us! This winery has a huge nice hand built outdoor deck with ceiling fans too! The bartender who had a really great name (last name Drake) ask her about it...shewas very knowledgeable and super sweet! The wine was really delicious too! They were the first to serve wine out of kegs we learned and I liked their white blend. If you are looking to cool off from the summer heat we recommend the white port served over ice or one of theirs cocktails. They also have wine bottle koozies too, added bonus for Texas! read more

Great time with Daniel...TWICE!!! We stopped by yesterday to find him open on a regular day off. Enjoyed great wine and conversation. Brought family back today and had even more fun. Don't drive by this place! Great wine...wine cocktails...and company! read more

What an amazing, cool, "best of" wineries! Something for everyone, great wines, wine cocktails, food available and dog friendly. Say hello to Sally and Daniel, you'll feel like part of the family read more

Visiting Vinovium is always a great experience. The staff are so friendly and inviting, and the wine selection is amazing...something to please every pallet. A favorite for a picnic and glass of fantastic wine. read more

We stumbled upon this new spot and gave it a try. I'm so glad we did!! Sally is amazing and made our tasting so much fun! I had never had wine on tap before! So good! We will be back!! read more

Cant say enough great things about this cozy spot. You always feel welcome and learn a lot about wine. If I lived locally, this would be my hangout spot. Open late and they offer wine education classes. read more

nice people owners were there very friend interacted with everyone there . They were very busy great crowd wine was interesting they had some on tap which is a different take in wine . will be back for sure... read more

My husband and I make a point to visit Vinovium every time we are in the area. The staff have always been very friendly and the service is exceptional. We've been going for a couple of years now and they take the time to get to know their customers. We were just there this past weekend and although they had over 50 guests from a wine tour bus Sally still took great care of us. She even had a glass of wine ready when we walked through the door. This is definitely our favorite place to visit and we highly recommend it. read more

Well, you're in for a treat with a totally different wine tasting experience! Owners Craig Mayer, Daniel Kelada, Travis Graves, and Allen Lucarelli have kicked started a new and refreshing way for customers to enjoy their tasting sessions. Vinovium Partners has actually been around since 2012 offering services and products to the industry. Their tasting room along Hwy 290 started soft openings back in early July. What you'll first notice about this place when you're in the tasting room are the taps for pouring wine. Yes, how cool is that? Vinovium (and yes, the name does reference the roman fort in England) uses a keg solution for pouring wine and selling to customers. Besides reducing cost, this also helps promote to customers that their wine is ready to drink now and drink well. After your tasting session in the Growler Lounge, all you do is select what wine you like and they bottle it for you in a growler. Bring it back when it's empty, and you can enjoy more great wines from their selection. (Nice way to recycle the bottles!) Once you get the hang of how it works, you'll walk away and come back a satisfied wine lover and customer. They try to use Texas grapes when the can for their wines, but they also have a great selection of wines made from grapes from around the world. On the tasting menu, you'll also get to see who the wine maker was for each wine. Some of you may notice some familiar names from the Texas wine industry! We got to try a great selection that included bubbly, whites, Rose', reds, and then some using their "Old World style" glasses. They happened to have a great Prosecco to try that was quite delicious. We'll save that bottle for a special celebration posting in the future. The 2015 Texas Rose' is made by Llano Estacado. This blend of Cinsault, Zinfandel, Carignan, and Grenache has nice melon notes. The 2013 American Lot 37 is made by Tim Drake from Flat Creek. There is nothing Tim touches that won't turn out great! This white mixture of Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier and Pinot Grigio has refreshing lemon flavors and some hints of avocado. The California 2014 Chardonnay is very smoky, with a creamy texture. The 2014 Oregon Pinot Noir greets you with ripe bright berry flavor with some earthiness to it. The second Tim Drake creation is the Texas lot 83 NV blend. Think of this Sangiovese, Syrah, Tempranillo blend as the Super Texan NV. Yes, it is quite good and does Super Texan proud! The California 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is pretty on the nose with some light herbal notes. Next, was the Two Worlds NV blend. Made from many different wine makers of old and new world grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Carignan, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay), you'll get a complex meld of licorice notes with some nuttiness. The 2012 Montsant is made by the famous former Becker winemaker Russel Smith. The Master made a fantastic red blend of Grenache and Carignan. It's leathery rich and dark texture only adds to that full body experience and makes you want to linger over this glass. We also tried the Italian Moscato on hand made from the same place as the Prosecco. It was sweet, dripping with a honeysuckle nose and pure joy on the palate. A great way to end the tasting session! Did we mention that have espresso, too? How many times have you been on 290 and craved a shot of espresso or some great coffee and agonized that you have to drive all the way back to Fredericksburg or Marble Falls to get your fix? Wine tasting or not, you can now stop here for an espresso shot too. Vinovium plans on holding wine education classes. These are a great educational opportunity to enhance and appreciate wine even more. The great location and nice hill country scenery in the back makes for a great new place to sip and relax. Staying open till 9pm just adds another spot to extend your day as you hang out with friends enjoying your trek into the Hill country wine region. They have definitely raised the bar on what's trending with Texas wineries. We look forward to many more visits and new wine offerings coming in the future. Because they produce small lots, they can turn over wine faster and provide broader options on their tasting menu, leaving you more opportunities to check out new things with every visit. Looking forward to seeing how their vision unfolds in the future. A bright new beginning on the 290 Hill Country wine trail. Cheers! read more

The owners were fantastic, extremely personable, great recommendations, made the experience fun. The patio is nice, makes for a relaxing time. They have a good variety of wines and wine cocktails. So there is something for everyone, can't wait to go back! They are also open late which makes this place even better! read more

Great new winery in the hill country. Daniel should be be applauded for his great customer service. We had some superb wines and fun times with Daniel. We'll definitely be back. Walked away with a couple of phenomenol growlers of wine. Can't wait for a revisit. They have some great plans in process. Go by and support the growing hill country wine trail experience. read more

Fantastic place. Staff is friendly and wonderful. Wine is very good and very interesting, some very different than what you normally find in the area. The day we were there they had BBQ and I will say that the brisket we had was the best we have had since moving to Texas. If you are in the area it is a place that you must visit! read more
