Nicole D.

We had a great experience at Adega Vinho! This winery is off the main road and is easy to miss if you don't know it's there. We visited around 3 PM on Saturday and were welcomed inside with our pup. The service was great and attentive. The interior of the tasting room is very stylish with mid century modern furniture and art on every wall. We opted for a tasting and ordered a pizza from the food truck. Everything was divine! Our favorite wine was their most popular, the estate tempranillo. Although I'm not usually a huge fan of red wines, I could drink this one all day. If you are looking for a winery to enjoy with your well-behaved dogs or children, this is the place.

Adega Vinho was one of the three wineries we visited when we were in the area along 290 earlier this month, and I'm glad we put it on our list and made a reservation. We stopped by a cold weekday afternoon, and the tasting room wasn't busy, but we were greeted right away (the staff member who assisted us with our tasting was lovely, friendly, helpful) and told to take a seat anywhere we liked. The décor in the tasting room is different from most I've visited - almost modern but with midcentury modern décor. It was cozy, informal - definitely a place you can hang for hours with friends. (We didn't eat but they have a food truck, so you definitely can spend hours here!) I had picked Adega Vinho over other wineries in the area because I loved that it seemed to be a smaller, family-owned operation and because they have a modern, progressive philosophy when it comes to wine (low intervention, organic when possible). They also grow some less common grapes (many mostly grown in Portugal - like arinto and touriga), which is another way they separate themselves from the many other wineries that wonderful area of 290. We enjoyed our tasting very much (6 wines, reds, whites, and rose); the wines we tasted, to the service, to the ambiance - everything was stellar. I highly recommend it.

There's over 100 wineries on the '290 Wine Road', so we relied on the Yelp recommendation to pick our first winery, Adega Vinho. The staff was really friendly and we were attended by Jeremy that was a great host. We chatted freely about wine and enjoyed the Portuguese inspired wines. The highlight was the Rose and the 2020 Tourgia that was great now and expect it to age to even a more fantastic wine. Definitely would put Adega Vinho on your check list to try if you come to this area for wine tastings.

Pizza from the new food truck!

Family-owned Adega Vinho is even more of a delight to visit than when it first opened in 2020. The sunny patio is decked out with furniture, complementing the ample seating under the shade trees. A food truck serves delicious mushroom risotto and pizza from a wood-fired oven. You'll find only Texas wines here, with a few estate wines almost always available. Specialties include dry rosé, tempranillo, tannat and viogner. Staff members are friendly, knowledgeable and always happy to tell you more about the vintages they're pouring. Well worth the short (~1 mile) jog off the beaten path of US 290.

We stopped in for a tasting on a Sunday. It was busy, but we were greeted immediately. They have multiple small "living room" areas, each with a different feel, style, and size. It's a great vibe. We were seated and given a brief introduction to the wines and the philosophy of the winery. Jeremy was our guide for the tasting. He was knowledgeable and friendly. Our favorite wines were the 2020 Pordosol and the 2022 Viognier.

This is my new favorite winery! The wine is fantastic. My favorite was the pordosol -- we bought several bottles to go. It is smooth but not overly so. The staff was super friendly and building is awesome. Very cool place to hang out, unlike some others built on 290 with lots of traffic noise or where you are drinking in the parking lot. Also unlike other wineries this is comparatively affordable. We will definitely be back!!

This vineyard is marked by a modern, somewhat hipster-ish / industrial feeling tasting room - maybe "modern Hill Country." It's living-room comfortable here, regardless of the label! We visited as the last stop on a day of visiting a few vineyards in the region, and the Pordosol was my favorite wine of the day. We only tasted reds when we were there, and along with the outstanding, deeply flavored Pordosol, two others also were excellent - the very good Cuvee Carinho (which reminded me of a light Pinot Noir), and the rich Temranillo. (Two others were a bit too much on the fruity side for me.) The staff members were warm, friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable across everyone with whom we interacted. They are such caring, passionate people, about their product as well as their guests. These are vintners who are committed to their own wine as much as furthering the collective wine capabilities in the region, which is reflected in their products, facility, and stories. I look forward to returning!

It's not something you're going to experience at your typical Fredericksburg winery. Good wine, great experience, and Blake stole the show. YOLO!!

During a safari, they…read morewitnessed the tragedy of rhino poaching, an experience that inspired them to get involved in conservation and create a sanctuary. Their 55-acre property became a home for Blake, their Texas-born rhino. And there is a winery here, too! Since opening in '22, it has become a natural extension of their passion for fine wine and a meaningful way to support their conservation efforts. The estate now includes nearly 10 acres of Tempranillo, Sangiovese, Merlot, & Malbec. With most vines in their 4th leaf, estate TX wines are still on the way, but visitors can already enjoy excellent Texas wines made from High Plains fruit along with South African ones. The McPhersons have helped craft many of the Texas wines, while Dr. Bob Young has contributed red wines aged in Texas oak. A team of South African winemakers helps support wines made from the Stellenbosch, Elgin, and the coastal area. The tasting room and back patio offer spacious seating, beautiful views of the Pedernales Valley, and direct views of Blake. The north-facing wine tasting patio is an extra plus design to have, especially with the Texas summer heat. For your testing selection, you'll have a list to choose from. For this tasting session a mix of South African & Texas (both reds & whites) were sampled. Starting off with the Sumatran Sparkles, this South African sourced bubbly is Pinot Grig based with notes of honeysuckle and citrus. Next from SA was their Wijde Sparkling. This white bubbly was blended with 53% Chard, 46% Pinot Noir, & 1% Pinot Meunier. It expressed itself with a floral aroma coupled with acidity and a bit of pear. Following that were two of the Crash label brands. Both Pinotage based, with the dry version a nice and light easy drinking wine featuring notes of strawberries with bright acidity. The sweet Pinotage bubbly version (lightly sweet) exhibited more of a cream sensation with a touch of cherries. Moving on to white wines, the first sipped was the '24 Albariño. This TX white wine has some good pineapple notes giving a pleasant tropical finish. The next white was the Texas High Plains 2025 Viognier. Sourced from Lahey, this one was quite impressive with apricot and lemon. The next Texas red was the '24 Horn Red Blend. This High Plains sourced fruit, comprised of 40% Malbec, 25% Dolcetto, 25% Sangiovese, & 10% Petite Sirah, had notes of clove and cherry going for it with even tannins and acidity. Texas Mourvèdre has been making big waves in the Texas wine industry, and their 2023 vintage has Grenache blended with it to yield an intense fruit forward wine with blackberry to satisfy the nose and palate. The final TX red wine sampled was the '24 Sangiovese. With cherry, raspberry, and a touch of spice, this classic Italian varietal was quite satisfying. For the South African red wines, the '22 Cab Franc was the first to sip. Part of the winery's Keras collection, this bold wine was loaded with big tannins and had a firm mouth gripper! Following that were two '22 Cabernet Sauvignons. One was also from the Keras collection with deep cocoa and raspberry notes and a fine tannic finish. Not quite as bold, but still big, the other Cab wine displayed more blackberry and plum notes with a bit of leather. Rounding out the tasting adventure was the '23 Five Species. This Bordeaux style blend had Cab Sauv, Cab Franc, Malbec, and some Petit Verdot blended to craft a well-balanced, smooth, and elegant wine to savor all evening. With a long family history in the Hill Country spanning more than a century, Craig & Chesney are adding their own chapter to the region's evolving story. The estate offers one beautiful surrounding scenery, dedicated up-close viewing sessions with Blake, and local artwork displayed throughout the tasting room. At its heart, this place is a true rhino conservation effort, strengthened by excellent wines from South Africa and Texas that help support the mission. It is a unique gem in the Texas Hill Country. Cheers!

We were previous members of Kuhlman Cellars, before the property changed ownership, so we were excited to come back and see what the experience was like under the new ownership. Unfortunately, it felt very different. We decided to go ahead with the tasting and paid for four tastings, but our group was then split up and we were told we had to share tastings, which was confusing considering we had paid for four separate ones. By the end, the experience felt less like an enjoyable winery visit and more like a pitch to join the wine club and learn about the other affiliated vineyards. Overall, we left disappointed. We will not be back.

The wine was enjoyable, and we ended up purchasing a few bottles at what felt like fair prices. Nothing quite wowed me enough to join the club or grab a case, but still a pleasant tasting overall. My only real critique is that our server could have been a bit more attentive. While we weren't in a rush, he didn't seem to be either. All in all, a relaxing stop with good wine and great scenery. Worth a visit if you're in the area.
