“We love coming to Hye Meadow Winery. They have done an excellent job creating a laid back family friendly atmosphere with their outdoor space and more intimate experience at their inside bar. Stop in here to soak up the beauty of the Texas Hill Country and enjoy some delicious wines. You won't be disappointed!“
“Absolutely loved our visit to French Connection Wines! The views were stunning, the atmosphere was relaxed and upscale, and every wine we tried was unique and beautifully crafted. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tasting experience even more enjoyable. If you’re in Fredericksburg and appreciate bold, French style wines, this place is a must. Can’t wait to come back! 🍷🍷“
“A Hidden Gem Beneath the Hill Country Sky If you’re looking for an unforgettable wine experience in Texas, stop scrolling and add Calais Winery in Hye, TX to your must-visit list. Tucked into the side of a limestone hill, this boutique winery offers an intimate cave tasting experience that feels like stepping into a secret—the kind of place you only whisper about to friends you trust to appreciate something rare. French winemaker Benjamin Calais has crafted something extraordinary here. His wines, made exclusively from 100% Texas-grown grapes, are Bordeaux-inspired yet distinctly Texan—elegant, complex, and soulful. Every sip tells a story of sunlit vineyards, native yeasts, Hill Country water, and a winemaker’s devotion to excellence. Tastings are by appointment only, which means you’re never part of a crowd—just part of the moment. We sat at a table fashioned from reclaimed barn wood, surrounded by barrels and stone, and shared an hour of good wine and even better conversation. It was as if time slowed down just for us. Whether you’re a seasoned oenophile or a weekend wanderer, Calais Winery is a revelation. The cave. The craftsmanship. The calm. This is what wine tasting should be—intimate, authentic, and deeply rooted in the land. Bravo, Benjamin. You’ve bottled something magical.“

“Margaret and Allan are the most accommodating venue owners I’ve met. We’ve visited their location several times over the past two years, and every time it is like walking in to family. They opened their space to us for our private event this weekend and took care of us through everything! I trusted them for everything, and I will 100% be coming back and I 100% encourage everyone to visit their beautiful property. The wine, the hosts, and the scenery are breath taking.“
“We spent a couple of nights in one of the glamping tents at 12 Fires (recommend #5 !). The tent had everything we needed, including a nice shower, mini-fridge and efficient A/C. The owner was very responsive and even gave us a tasting after hours (great wine !). The bed was very comfortable and the bedroom was dark enough to sleep late. The nights are very dark, so the stars are quite impressive. We were the only glampers, but #5 is far enough from other tents that we may not have known even if there were others. We had access to the tasting room deck in the evenings which was really nice. Also access to gas grill which made some great burgers to eat with the 12 Fires wine ! Recommend giving this a try. Location is perfect for wine tasting trip.“
“Just had the best experience at Pedernales!!! Delicious wine and a wonderful host! Thank you! we will be back!“
“What an awesome place!! The staff is more the accommodating and friendly. They make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in. The wine, food and scenery all exquisite but the staff beautifully bring it all together, I can’t say enough good things about Siboney Cellars.. I wish I could give this place 10 stars. We found our new wine spot in the beautiful Texas hill country.“

“My wife and I stopped by Foyt Winery while on a wine tour celebrating our wedding. We were so pleasantly surprised by our experience! Foyt is like no other winery in Fredericksburg. We got to experience the legacy of the great AJ Foyt while sipping great wine on one of their beautiful outdoor patios. Our wine tour was fantastic and filled with fascinating history about their startup and success. We also chatted with Chris, one of the founders, who was very personable and welcoming. Great wine. Great people. Highly recommend visiting.“
