Exploring Historic Fredericksburg

With over 100 vineyards and beautiful wineries in the area, it's no wonder that Fredericksburg area wine tours are a top attraction for travelers. Our popular grapes are those grown in the European regions of Tuscany Italy, Provence, and France, as well as Spanish and Portuguese varietals. These include Viognier, Tempranillo, Mouvedre, Marsanne, Rousanne and Malbec. The Texas Hill Country is also becoming famous for its blends.

History buffs have plenty to explore in small-town Fredericksburg. Founded by German immigrants in 1846, you'll see the German influence in the architecture, culture, and food. Fredericksburg Texas is one of the few remaining present day German cultural communities in the US. The 36th President of the United States was born and raised here, and the Lyndon B Johnson National and State historical parks are dedicated to the preservation of early Texas life as they offer a look at the life and times of LBJ and his wife Lady Bird Johnson.

Why should I take the 290 Wine Shuttle over a private tour?

We can sum it up in one word – FREEDOM! Our shuttle gives you access to 15 wineries and breweries with pickups every 15 minutes. You can visit as many, or as few, as you would like on your own schedule. You can’t say the same with a private tour, where you are at the mercy of the tour guide, dawdling guests, and a tight schedule! Choose the option that gives you flexibility, both logistically and economically!

Does the wine shuttle follow a specific route?

Yes, we visit 15 wineries along the 290 Wine Trail and 1 on our Bonus Route. Take a look at the wineries on our route to see which ones you’d like to see.

How long can I stay at each winery?

You can stay at each winery as long as you’d like! With 290 Wine Shuttle, you’re not confined to a schedule. When you’re finished at a winery, just hop on the next shuttle arriving every 15 minutes to get a ride to your next destination. Our shuttle service runs from 10am to 6pm every Saturday.

I forgot to book a pass, can I still use 290 Wine Shuttle?

Maybe. We accommodate walk-ups on a first come, first served basis, but cannot guarantee available space.

Do you accommodate bachelorette parties?

Yes! 290 Wine Shuttle is the perfect activity for bachelorette parties . Our spacious shuttles accommodate groups of all sizes. Best of all ‒ for parties of six or more, brides ride free! Simply purchase shuttle passes for everyone in your group except the bride, then let us know at check-in that you have a bride who is riding for free.

Select Reserve Experience

We had a fantastic time on our 25th anniversary wine tour. Paul did such an excellent job of taking us to some excellent wineries, catering to our needs (water, snacks, taking items to the van). The van was comfortable for the couples on our tour. He picked us up on time and dropped us off right in front of our door. I highly recommend this tour!  Can’t say enough about Paul!

Personalized trip, with attention to details. We were well taken care of by Paul. Thank you again, we will be back!

Had an amazing time! Thanks again!

Our group booked the Select Reserve Experience for our best friend’s bachelorette weekend and About Town Wine Experience was very responsive and easy to communicate with before the trip. They filled me in on the BEST itinerary for what we wanted and even gave us helpful recommendations for the rest of our trip. We had an exceptional time together and the service was amazing.

WHO ARE WE?

Hi, i’m bailey..

winery tour in fredericksburg tx

Growing up in Fredericksburg and working at some of the first local wineries & distilleries during summer break, Bailey Whitworth learned a lot about the industry and is well-versed in southern hospitality. As Fredericksburg grew from a farm & ranch community into a tony tourist destination, Bailey knew she wanted to share the local flare with others. She knows just about everyone in the local viticulture industry and after attending Texas Tech, decided the best way to share her love for God’s country was to start a tour company that enables her to share her passion closely with others. It has been a while in the making, but here we are!

Stephanie with 290TX Tours made our visit fantastic. She is very thoughtful and personable; from coordinating wineries and lunch to managing our groups wine purchases. Thanks Stephanie, cant wait to come back!

We had a great time with Stephanie and we will definitely be back to share another experience with 290TX Tours

Bailey is very knowledgeable about the wineries in the area. She was able to provide us a list of her favorite places and let us customize what we liked the most. We visited four wonderful places and had a great day being toured around the region. 290TX Tours’ hospitality is a 10!

290TX Tours was awesome! Super friendly and informative. Gave us plenty of time at each winery we visited but kept us on schedule. The Mercedes Sprinter van was top notch! We were able to jam to our own music via Bluetooth and Stephanie kept all of our purchases stored in the back while we were out and about. Highly recommend!!

We just got back from a great weekend in Fredericksburg and used 290TX Tours and it was AWESOME! Stephanie is very knowledgeable about the region, reliable, and prompt with her communications. She made our winery tour experience easy and so much fun! I would HIGHLY recommend using 290TX Tours when planning a trip to Fredericksburg. We will most definitely book with her again!

Tourists from around the world travel to partake in one of the many wine tours available in Fredericksburg, which is why we’ve written this guide to distinguish each one from the other.

Whether you’re looking for an active and exciting, or calm and serene wine tour in Fredericksburg, this guide will give you everything you need to know about the 9 best ones. After sampling the details of these wine tours, we’ve decided that you’d so well to try one of the following wine tours in Fredericksburg.

Fredericksburg Wine Tours

Texas hill country and lbj tour from san antonio.

Texas Hill Country and LBJ Tour From San Antonio 1

One the reasons we loved the Texas Hill Country and LBJ Tour From San Antonio was because of the historical role play that promises to entertain patrons. This wine tour features an olden day former American president, as well as famous historical cowboys and singers who are impersonated extremely well.

It’s a relatively longer wine tour at 8 hours, but this promises to focus more on relaxation and entertainment while you sip at some of the famously good wines made by the Frederickson farms. You will also go back in time to the Frederickson town and get a great feel for what it was like in that German town in those times.

Included in your package is a typical German dining experience in a beer garden, with food, wine and beer that’s authentically German. The wine tour itself allows you to sample (and drink) some of the best wines Fredericksburg has to offer.

The tour starts at the Lyndon B. Johnson State Park & Historical Site, and from there you will move across to Fredericksburg itself, then to Luckenbach, and finally to the Sister Creek Vineyards .

You can customize your own wine tour package by buying passes for wine tasting, beer drinking, and dining experiences. The managers of this wine tour do include hotel pickups if you’re staying in the immediate area, so this is an extra optional fee if you wish to enhance the convenience of your experience.

Texas Hill Country and LBJ Ranch Tour with Wine Tasting Options

Texas Hill Country and LBJ Ranch Tour with Wine Tasting Options 1

This tour is on the more expensive side, but we discovered that it’s well worth the ticket price. The Texas Hill Country and LBJ Ranch Tour with Wine Tasting Options is an 8 hour tour that allows you to experience both a guided tour as well as free-time with your companions.

Wine tasting is optional and must be purchased before your tour begins. We’d recommend you opt for the wine tasting if you enjoy good wines, as this just makes the whole experience way more enjoyable.

The tour is all inclusive and even offers hotel pickups for those who don’t want the inconvenience of car rentals. From then on, you’ll be in good hands with the Texas Hill Country and LBJ Ranch Tour guides, who will give you historical information on all the sites and scenes around you while you move through the winelands of Fredericksburg.

Start the journey in Texas Hill Country and then move on to the Lyndon B. Johnson State Park & Historic Site. From here you will be taken through Fredericksburg and subsequently Luckenbach, and finally to the Sister Creek Vineyards for some wine tasting options.

Choose the Texas Hill Country and LBJ Ranch Tour with Wine Tasting Options if you would like to spend the whole day enjoying wine, learning about history, and meeting new friends along the way.

Boutique Winery Experience in the Fredericksburg Texas Hill

Boutique Winery Experience in the Fredericksburg Texas Hill 1

Despite a rather high ticket price for this shorter wine tour, the Boutique Winery Experience in the Fredericksburg Texas Hill is one of the most popular Fredericksburg wine tours available. Word of mouth has done all the advertising for this tour, and it promises to deliver time after time.

The Boutique Winery Experience in the Fredericksburg Texas Hill offers a more exclusive wine experience, and includes visits to privately owned wine farms as well as their wineries. You’ll learn about wine, taste the wine, and even enjoy a fascinating lesson on how that wine is produced on these magnificent farms.

You will start your journey at the Fredericksburg Convention and Visitor Bureau, and from there move on to the Fredericksburg Visitor Information Center. After a short 15 minute stop, it’ll be time to move on to various wineries like the Pedernales Winery , Kuhlman Winery and Messina Hof Winery .

One of the reasons this tour is so popular is because it’s different every time you go. Those who have been on the tour before often repeat the visit because of the unique experience they experience each time. Different farms and eateries are visited, so the tour is customized each time you go.

So, if you’re keen to experience a luxury wine tour, choose the Boutique Winery Experience in the Fredericksburg Texas Hill. We found this to be one of the best wine tours in Fredericksburg, and would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good glass of wine.

Fredericksburg Wine Trolley

This tour includes luxury wine tasting as well as a lunch, but does not include entry to the Fredericksburg Museum—so you may want to take some extra money if you’re keen to complete your experience with a visit to this interesting site.

Wine, on the other hand, is very much included. The Taste of Fredericksburg Wine Tour from San Antonio allows patrons to sample some of the tastiest wines and show you exactly where it came from, how it is made, and why you should walk away with a few bottles of your own.

This tour starts at 418 Villita St and takes you down to the Bingham Family Vineyards Fredericksburg Tasting Room. From there you will also visit the Hilmy Cellars , and finally end the tour back at Villita Street after visiting the Fredericksburg Visitor Information Center.

But we still thought it was worth mentioning, as most of the other tours listed here have a 5 – 8 hour duration—which may not be for everyone. So, if it’s a short wine tour through Frederickson you’re looking for, then opt for the Fredericksburg Historic District Narrated Trolley Tour.

But if you’re feeling healthy and rearing to enjoy some good wine, great conversation a tons of historical facts, then book your wine tour to Frederickson now.

Loved having you! God bless our vets! Come back soon!

Photo of Michaela P.

Really nice people but...ummm...what exactly is going on here? Is this an animal rescue/sanctuary or a tasting room? Petting zoo or wedding venue? Working(ish) farm or primitive camp site? I'll tell you what it's not...it's not a vineyard. Nice venue. Eclectic. But definitely not a vineyard. Overpriced tour. Overpriced wine (none from TX) although the pours are generous. They do have a full bar and fresh eggs @ $4/dzn. They'll also give you a free glass of wine for a 5 star review...

Amazing safari wine vineyard! We did a safari tour and got to check out tons of animals! Highly recommend for animal lovers!!

Jun 29, 2024

We loved having you in and appreciate you. Thank you so much for the kudos and please join us again soon.

Photo of Kimberly F.

This winery is the cutest drive in. You see all the animals including zebras, camels and kangaroos. You can do a tour to see them. It has an open airy vibe that is perfect for summer. They can accommodate huge parties, which I appreciate because we came for a bachelorette party and had a 11 girls with us. Pricing is good too, we went to some other wineries in the area and they were priced much higher.

Grapetown is so cute!! You get to see all kinds of animals right as you drive in the park! The setup itself is also adorable and great vibes for any type of event. We came for a bachelorette party and had enough seating for all of us! They had a great selection of affordable wines and were also super kind in making sure we liked what we had. I also appreciated how they had fans since Texas can be hot in the summer! They also had some snacks for purchase. Overall, would recommend and would come back!!

This place was nice! I came here for their safari wine tour and I really enjoyed it. The tour started a little late, but it was worth the wait. Feeding the animals and walking the grounds while sipping on some wine, was really nice. The staff were extremely knowledgeable about the animals and the different wines. Make sure you give this place a visit!

Things To Do In Stonewall, Texas

Check out everything to do in stonewall, texas, including wineries..

I f you’ve ever been to the Texas Hill Country, chances are, you drove right past Stonewall. I’m here to tell you the next time you venture to the hill country, check out these things to do in Stonewall, Texas. If not, you’ll miss out on great wineries for fabulous wine tastings, unique places to stay the night, great roadside stops, and, more importantly, nice people!​

Stonewall, TX, is located in the heart of Texas Hill Country, sandwiched between Johnson City and Fredericksburg on US-290, aka Wine Road, aka Highway 290 Wine Trail. The small town of roughly 500 folks is a little over an hour’s drive from San Antonio and 3 1/2 hours from Fort Worth. No matter where you start out in the big cities, you’ll travel on the backroads fully equipped with unforgettable views of rolling hills, winding roads, and beautiful trees on both sides of the highway.

If it’s your first time in the hill country, you may want to skip the popular town and opt for something a little more cozy and country.

And, if you find yourself with more time on your hands, take a short drive to historic Fredericksburg for a day of shopping, history, and fabulous eateries.

The top things to do in Stonewall are hunting down its delicious Gillespie County peaches (when in season), wineries, and visiting the Lyndon B Johnson State Park and the LBJ Ranch.

• Lyndon B. Johnson State Park And Historic Site

Lyndon B. Johnson was born in Stonewall, TX, and grew up in Johnson City, TX. That’s why his legacy is spread among these two small towns.

Inside the park is The Sauer-Beckmann Living History Farm, where the staff dresses in costumes while welcoming visitors and demonstrating the historical past.

Be sure to go inside the Visitors Center so they can explain the layout of the park. It’s essential to do so if you care to see it all. Before leaving on your self-guided tour, walk through the early 1900s Behrens Cabin adjacent to the center.

Give yourself at least 3 hrs. FREE to enter and park.

• Johnson Family Cemetery

Our 36th President, his family, and most of his extended family are buried here.

Address: State Park Road 49, Stonewall

• Burg’s Corner Roadside Store & Texas Hill Country Peaches

My main goal when I stopped by this roadside store was to taste their peach ice cream. It was the perfect snack to get me through the day. If I weren’t traveling, I’d also pick up some produce.

Other than peaches in season, they also sell pecans, local pears, squash (several kinds), zucchini, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, green beans, sweet corn, organic pastured eggs, apples, and more. But you’ve got to taste the peach ice cream—it was delicious!

Address: 15194 US-290, Stonewall. Open year-round Thursday-Monday

• Gold Orchards

Located at 14329 E US-Hwy 290 in Stonewall, it has peaches in season, plus summer produce and fall produce. I don’t know about you, but I love stopping at roadside places like Burg’s and this one.

• Annual Stonewall Peach JAMboree & Rodeo

If you’re around in June, the Stonewall Peach JAMboree celebrates the peach season and runs a parade, rodeo, and dance.

Next Festival: 3rd full weekend in June 2024

The event takes place at the Stonewall Chamber Grounds. 250 Peach Street, and the parade goes all through town. Expect fresh peaches, peach cobbler, peach ice cream, large quantities of peaches, and other peach goods at one of several peach stands along Highway 290.

Carnival food and food trucks will be onsite if you are hankering for something other than peaches!

• Texas Hill Country Wineries Passport

If you like wine and wine tastings, you may want to know about this wine passport. The Texas Hill Country Wineries offers four wine passports a year for wineries in the Texas Hill Country that are members of the THCW. It’s a great way to taste before you buy. Not all the wineries in the area are members; you’ll have a choice of about 45 wineries to visit and use the passport.

​The following Texas Hill Country Wineries passport is its  Christmas Wine Affair . Savor all Texas Wine Country offers this holiday season from November 27 – December 22, 2023. Tickets are $65 for one person and $100 for a couple.

Good news – six wineries in Stonewall are on the passport. Look for the *asterisk in front of the winery below to see which are included in the passport.

• Places To Stay In Stonewall, Texas

Top Things To Do Near Stonewall, Texas

With a town of only 500 or so people, there’s probably not much to do to keep you busy for a weekend, so I’ve delved into close proximity places you may want to visit, from a popular distillery and dance hall to the two towns Stonewall is located in between.

• Garrison Brothers Distillery

A distillery and a party. Garrison Brothers Distillery is the first “Legal” Texas whiskey distillery in Hye, TX. Expect live music. Check days and hours before you go – they are known to shut down to the public for private events.

• Abert Ice House & Dance Hall

This dance hall may be out in nowhere’s land, but it rocks on the party inside and outside. I was very impressed with it all. It’s not too far from Garrison Brothers. Expect live music and a lot of fun.

• House Wren 

My favorite indoor outdoor antique and garden shop right off Hwy 290 between Stonewall and Fredericksburg. I’ve bought a few succulents there that I’ve never seen before. Just look for the old truck and sign that says WREN.

• Fredericksburg, Texas

The peach capital of Texas truly is a gem of a place to visit. There are many things to do there, from spending a weekend learning about the history of Fredericksburg and spending the holidays in town .

  • National Museum of the Pacific War
  • Enchanted Rock State Park
  • Fredericksburg Trade Days
  • Pioneer Museum

• Johnson City, Texas
