My friend and I came in on a Saturday for a standard wine tasting, and the place was buzzing with energy! Highly recommend making a reservation (we had one, thankfully), as it's a popular spot, and walk-ins may face a wait. We did a wine tasting flight and added a charcuterie board and rosemary bread to round out the experience. The wine? Fantastic. Each pour showcased the care and artistry that goes into Rae's winemaking. The Dandy Rosé was bright and refreshing, and the Trousseau was a beautifully light red. The charcuterie board? Easily one of the best I've had while wine tasting in the Hill Country. Every bite was thoughtfully curated and paired perfectly with the wines and we devoured nearly everything on it. The absolute highlight of the visit, though, was meeting Rae Wilson, the winery's master wine maker, herself! She was making the rounds in the tasting room, chatting with guests, and stopped by our table. Getting to hear directly from the winemaker about her process and passion added such a personal touch to the experience--it's not every day you get that kind of access. Wine for the People delivers on all fronts: incredible wine, a welcoming atmosphere, and a memorable experience. If you're exploring Hill Country, make sure this spot is on your list! read more

I just love this wines, the people and the new spot in FB!

Sipping delicious local wines in a clean, minimalist space. It's our vibe. There's lots of parking but we honestly just took the 8 minute walk from the main strip down to stretch our legs. Indoor and shaded outdoor seating provides options in that TX weather. We loved the great service with a chill, non pretentious vibe (shout out Karen!!) Love that there are some bites, too (char boards etc). We tried the Sauv Blanc & the Cinsault and they were amazing. This will be our new haunt in the Fredericksburg scene. read more

Charming, tucked away wine restaurant. We're in love with this place. Start with an order of fresh sourdough bread and cured butter. You'll ask for more sourdough so you can finish every morsel of this beautiful butter. Opt for their seasonal wine flights. Order a charcuterie plate for your table. Your group will be served the next glass in the flight at the same time, and you can substitute any glass for a different variety if you're not feeling one. Share their charred Basque cheesecake and/or olive oil cake with your table, and rejoice! Come back with a different pair of friends next time, you'll be glad you did. read more

What an adorable spot for a wine evening with friends! The patio was perfect on a cool, shady night. Service was really friendly and helpful at selecting a glass of wine everyone enjoyed. I wish the food options had clearly marked vegan options, but the hummus/crackers and olives were tasty. Will be back soon! read more

We had a wonderful afternoon here with a walk in party of 6. We received a personal recommendation for this place from another vineyard OWNER. Owners supporting other owners spoke volumes to us. Wine for the People is new to this location in 2024. What a hidden gem! It is comfortable and laid back. The staff was friendly and accommodating. It felt like we were visiting friends in their backyard paradise. We loved ALL the wines we tasted. It was definitely our best charcuterie board of the entire trip. We met & spoke with Anne & Rae, the owners. On the back of every wine bottle, you'll find a quote from a courageous woman. We joined the club, bought the merchandise and had a memorable afternoon. Can't wait to return! read more

I joined a group of my daughter's friends here for appetizers and wine. I tried the reserve flight which was delightful. We ordered a couple of charcuterie platters and other items - they accommodated allergies and gluten-free issues. What impressed me most is that the entire staff was helpful, informative and created an environment where you can learn more about the wines and the business. Several of the group were members and they are very flexible with the level of commitment to accommodate your budget. Definitely a new go-to place when I'm in town. read more

Love this new local winery! The winemaker is so sweet and approachable. We immediately joined the wine club and have been going back for months. Just a quick 30 min drive outside of the city. The ones are very good, my favorite is the Chenin Blanc, which is so unique tasting from others you've tasted. The patio is perfect for sipping a flight on a slow afternoon. There's easy parking, a food truck on the premise, plus you can make a reservation. Trust me and make the drive to check out this spot, you won't regret it! read more

I went here with a good friend and we got a cheese board (I don't eat pork) and they'll sub the meat out for more cheese and it was a beautiful board!! I had a whole photoshoot with it. The cheese choices were truly amazing as well. My friend picked the wine but we did taste a few before settling and it was delicious. read more

We joined friends here for a wine tasting consisting of 5 different wines. We loved all the different wines that we tried. The waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable of each wine we sampled. It was a special treat to meet Rae the winemaker and to learn her journey. The food snacks we tried were a charcuterie board, chips and dip, hummus and crackers; all prepared by Spread and Company. The snacks were perfect for the wine tasting ! Great location and lovely patio. We will definitely return! read more

I received a trial membership to Wine for the People. What an awesome gift, experience over stuff is the best. I went to my first wine release at the Lemon Lounge Sunday, a space with great atmosphere, people, and a fabulously curated collection of wine and healthy nibbles (tapas). Rae and Sisi are two personable, passionate and knowledgeable wine ambassadors. They have a knack for hosting a fun, welcoming, unpretentious and relaxing gathering. The Cascina Belamonte Costellazioni Valtenesi Doc 2016 Rose was the best Rose I have ever had. I also liked the Chateau d' Oupia Minervois Red Tablewine 2015. I can't wait to see what the future harvest has in store with this dynamic company. read more

Attended the Chef's dinner at Snack Bar. Rae Wilson performed the role of sommelier. Rae selected each wine and gave a great introduction for each course. The joy she has for everything wine is contagious. The wine/food combinations where excellent. She really made the event something special. Extremely knowledgeable and charming. read more

Rae came to our house and presented us with a wine tasting. It was amazing. We had so much fun and learned so much from her. Rae is knowledgeable, personable, and just cool to have around. We gave her a tough genre for our party- we wanted low sulfite wines. She delivered bubbly, white, red and rose and they were all delicious. I would not hesitate to recommend Wine for the People for anything wine related. read more
