We may have caught them at a busy time but it paled in comparison to a few other vineyards we visited on the same day. We signed up for a tasting, and it completely possible that I just didn't know what that entailed, but it was far different from what I expected. Instead of being seated (or doing a standing tasting), we were given drink tickets and told to go outside for drinks. We were given a welcome wine to try with our tickets which I appreciated! When we got outside, we were met with long lines leading to what looked to be a bar with three staff members pouring wine. For the first pour, we were told a little bit about the wine but after that, no one bothered to tell us anything. In addition, the pours were very inconsistent. Some of them were barely more than two small sips while others were far more reasonable. We quickly discovered which staff member was willing to pour more and who he was willing to pour more for (not me lol). The wines themselves were fine but it was difficult to enjoy considering we had to keep getting up to get pours and the drink tickets felt a little like SXSW. We did very much appreciate that they offered actual food unlike many other places in the area! read more

Talked my husband into taking me to a vineyard while spending the weekend in Fredericksburg. My dad had told us that he heard good things about Becker Vineyards so that is where we went on Saturday afternoon around 3:30. The drive up to the parking lot from the highway is lovely as are the buildings on the property. We were able to purchase a tasting at the front desk upon arrival and given tickets so that we could get our drinks at the indoor or outdoor bar. The service at both bars was friendly and helpful. There were also a good number of people there that afternoon but it didn't feel crowded and it didn't affect our experience. They had lots of products to browse as well as a small food menu if you were feeling snacky. Overall it was a really nice experience, but, and I want to say this in the nicest way possible, the wine is still Texas wine. read more

Becker Vineyards - The Wine Cellar at Becker Vineyards - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

This is one of the most established wineries along the 290 corridor. Their first vintage was back in 1995. If you plan on visiting the winery, it is not located directly on 290, it's about a mile down Jenschke road. Out of the 11,000 Texas wineries, they are the largest producer and use 25% of all the grapes grown in the state. I came here with a large group of wine enthusiasts and we got the grand tour. Along with their impressive facilities and barrel rooms they have a very large tasting room where you can purchase many of their wines that you won't see featured in stores. Most of their wines sit between the $20 and $50 price point. They do offer a 20% industry discount if you work within the alcohol business. And yes, they'll flip the tip screen over on you. Unlike many of the wineries in the area, they do actually have the ability to serve chef prepared meals for your wedding rehearsal or family /work gathering. They have a complete separate dining room for those events. Our group had lunch in that dining room with a wine pairing menu. Definitely one of the most notable wineries in the area that should be on your must visit list. Very informative photos included to get you through the door. read more

Beautiful space, ample room to roam and walk through their beautiful winery. You're welcomed with a complimentary tasting of Primavera Rose after purchasing your tasting. On the back side of the tasting room, there's a field of lavender and flowers, great for pictures. read more

O.M.G! This is a true gem!! I did a lot of research for the first time going to Fredricksburg and a winery. Everyone was sooooo nice! I felt like someone important and great customer service is so hard to find. I didn't feel pressured to get a wine membership like I've read from reviews of other locations. I willingly purchased wine after the tasting because it was truly delicious and affordable! (Less than $30). Kim was amazing, knowledgeable and she just let us feel so relaxed. I will be telling all of my friends and family of Becker Vineyards! Thank you for the most amazing day! read more

My wife and I enjoyed two events at Becker Vineyards, part of their monthly lunch/dinner events. The first one was the Sat 12/23/2023 lunch event, and the second one was the 02/09/2024 Valentine day dinner. Both events were beautifully prepared by their event team. The Christmas lunch was setup as a long table in their Lavender Haus, which is an old fashioned building with the warmth of the west. The Valentine dinner was setup with tables of 8 people. Either way, it was very well laid out. The first thing that impresses is the number of wine glasses per person (7 or so). You know you are going to have fun! Both menus were prepared by their French chef, Jean Claude Balek from Napa, CA. They are crafted with excellent ingredients, and inventive flavors. You can read all about it in my wife's review (Shonel G.), who also "leveraged" all my pictures I had shared with her on WhatsApp, so I don't have much new to show here! What I want to say is that this is a nice venue, the service is awesome and the wine is really, really good. We are so far from the early wines of TX when I came to this country in the late 90s... Also, the Becker family attends these events, including their latest baby girl, which we find adorable! Please keep doing this, it's a fun adventure for us and a nice excuse to drive to the Fredericksburg area. read more

We have been coming for almost 12 years and we're members because we love the vibe and their not California wines but they are solid for hill country. This year I was so disappointed. I always purchased the signature lavender items that had for sale but they appear to be changing business models and carrying other businesses lavender products which no longer feel unique or special. A real disappointment. read more

Beautiful space, nice wine, wish it were a little more structured of a wine tasting with information given instead of here are your tickets, order what you want, but the service was great the day we were there and the inside bar seemed to give more details than the girls outside. read more

Great service. Fantastic wines. Really loved the grounds and entire experience. They even have a nice lavender section.

We attended the 2024 VALENTINE'S DINNER FRI. FEB. 9 and it was just as nice as the dinner at Christmas time. It was hosted in the lavender house a rustic farm house style building on the property. The tables were perfectly decorated with clear chargers with gold accents, dusty rose table napkins, dusty rose tea rose accents on the chargers and also as a focal detail in the middle of the table. Each place setting included a menu. This was a perfect introduction to the wine pairings and courses. The meal started with the Poached Oysters and Pearls with Caviar Nage It was accompanied by the 2022 Jolie (one of my favorites)& the 2020 Chardonnay Reserve Let me be honest I didn't know I loved poached oysters till this evening! Next course was the Beets with Citrus salad that included Chicories, a touch of Chèvre & Tarragon this was paired with the 2022 Viognier Reserve- Six Harts Vineyard and the 2020 Barbera. Next was the perfectly cooked Texas Wagyu & Lobster, Foie Whipped Celeriac, Local Mushrooms & Black Truffles. They paired this dish with the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve- Canada Family Vineyard & the 2018 Ranger Hays ( I really enjoyed this one) Lastly we moved on to dessert a Triple Chocolate Mousse, Champagne Liqui Gels, Berries this was paired with a Port. If you love wine, upscale dinning and or just an excuse to do something a little different this is your place. You can go on the website and buy tickets to an event. I have attended twice and I will be back! This place does have something for everyone, smaller tastings and group tastings are also available. read more

Had tasting as part of Texas wine month passport. The wines were great but Paula did a wonderful job of guiding us. We are already members of other wineries but her "low key" approach and the quality of wine lead us to join their club. Thanks for not being hard sell like many other wineries. Again, thanks to Paula! read more

Becker is my favorite vineyard in Fredericksburg. Love the wine and that's its a local brand. They have a good mix of whites, reds, and dessert wines. I usually go for the Cabernet or Tempranillo here. Atmosphere is laid back with lots of space inside or outside patio to enjoy your wine. We did a tasting indoors then got glasses to drink outside. Tasting was decent pour for each taste. The staff was very knowledgeable and would explain each wine's flavor profile, tasting notes, etc. before pouring. They often have live music on weekends, which makes for a fun place. They also offer free wine tours of production and down to the cellar. Definitely recommend this! Great way to see the whole experience without traveling to Napa. In the spring, the backyard is gorgeous as all the flowers are blooming and it looks like a field of colorful flowers. Makes for beautiful sites & photo ops! Becker has become my go-to Texas wine brand when buying local wine at the grocery store. Everytime I'm in Fredericksburg, I have to make Becker a stop! read more

For those of you who know us, wine and wine tastings are important to us. During COVID, when everything shut down, we no longer had our weekend tastings. As a substitute, we started watching virtual tastings. One of our favorites was from Becker Vineyards. Dr. Becker and his crew (his staff: Bobby, Nichole, Katelyn, and John) became a part of our weekly Wednesday night wine tastings. To this day, they are still hosting their tastings! Fea and I always mentioned that if we ever traveled to Texas, we would stop by the vineyard. That time finally arrived, and they lived up to all our expectations. The tasting was wonderful and on par to the wine we've had from Napa Valley. We also received great service from Roy, Paula, and Ginny, who gave us a fantastic tasting, a tour of the vineyard, and an excellent charcuterie board. We weren't expecting to personally meet the folks from the virtual tastings. At most, we thought we might see them in passing during our visit. However, after Paula heard our story, she said, "Let's see if Bobby is around." Sure enough, he stopped by to greet us! Then came Nichole, followed by Katelyn, and finally John! All of them took time from their busy schedules to say hello and let us know they appreciated us. In turn, we got to express how much they meant to us, and how thankful we are for all their hard work providing the virtual tastings. I could keep going on and on about how amazing today was, but I'll just end by saying: if you're ever in Austin, drive out to Becker Vineyards. You won't regret it! read more

Iconic vineyard that is a MUST stop. Samantha and the entire team are world class. Thank you Samantha for such a great experience.

I've visited twice. The staff here is very friendly, didn't pressure us to become members or seemed unhappy when we didn't want to become members. $25 for 6 tastings plus a welcome rosé tasting is pretty generous. Also $25 for the charcuterie board, $45 at other wineries. The wine glasses are not included with tastings, available for purchase for $10. Check their website for private members only event before you go, otherwise you'd have to turn around and go somewhere else. read more

We were met with terrible attitude from one of the two hostesses and an outdoor bartender. They both clearly did not want to be there and god forbid you ask the bartender a question about their wines (isn't that the point of going to these wineries? Learning about and trying their wines?). So unfriendly it was actually astonishing. As you can see if you read more reviews here, I'm one of many who mention this. I would never return purely because of the service. There's plenty of other vineyards with employees who are kind and happy to educate you on their wines. I'm not paying $18 for a glass of wine to be spoken to that way. read more

I went here with a friend to stomp some grapes, get a tour of the grounds and do some wine tasting. We had a blast! The entire vineyard is serene, clean and peaceful. They even have a flower farm of sorts, I don't know if guests can walk through it but it made for a great photo op. We did some wine tasting and then got a glass each. I unfortunately don't remember what I got but I remember that the glass of white wine was equally dry and refreshing, which I was impressed by. Staff were also friendly and helpful. I would go there again and highly recommend it. read more

Ambiance 5 stars ***** Service 5 stars ***** Wine/Food 4.5 stars ****1/2 Overall a 5-star experience for us. The vineyards and tasting room/patio are lovely with plenty of space for conversation or a walk around the grounds. They have a generous pouring of more than a dozen varietals and blends from which you can choose 7 to sample. Despite reading about how well South European varietals grow in Texas, I was surprised to find that my favorites were the Cab and Chardonnay, which had just the right amount of oak. Make sure to do the complimentary tour which takes roughly 30 minutes and gets you into the barrel room and wine cellar. The icing on that cake was that my car battery died(daughter left the door ajar) and the staff quickly got a team member out to get us a jump start. Thanks so much for a great experience. read more

Was only in Fredricksburg for two nights and stopped at a total of 3 wineries. Of the 3, Becker Vineyards was my absolute favorite!

Can't wait to come back! read more

Sharing the Texas with friends it would have been a miss not to enjoy some Texas wines and what better place than Becker Vineyards. This venue is beautiful and even in the heat the flowers were gorgeous. Love the stone and the open areas. The individual that helped us noticed I seemed nervous because it was 5:23pm and their last pour is at 5:30. My friends were asking tons of questions but she leaned over and said, "We pour until 7:00. We just don't let anyone in after 5:30." Whew! Wines are wonderful and we became club members. Really great place y'all. read more

I have been to Becker Vineyards several times. They have a nice set up for tasting wines. This was the first time I took my husband to Becker. Unfortunately, we had poor service. The wine server, was not very helpful. My husband doesn't like too dry wine and enjoys sweet better. The sever was pretty blunt and short, "We do not make any sweet wines." I knew this already since I've been here many times. I suggested their Jolie wine. He did not offer any suggestions and was quite rude. It sorta ruin our experience. We drank one glass of the Jolie and took the rest home. The bathrooms are cool and clean. There are many places to sit outside. The gift shop sells cute wine gifts and things. Keep in mind they are pricey at Becker. Overall not a great visit this time around, but we will give them another visit sometime. read more

Beautiful grounds and great outdoor seating. Lots of covered outdoor seating and some water misters to keep it cool. We can during grape stomping and participated which was a great experience. Highly recommend giving it a try if you're ever around during the grape stomping timeframe. Becker offers free grape stomping and you can purchase a shirt to put your foot prints on it. The shirt is a nice shirt for $18 which is so cheap compared to other wineries. Well worth it! They don't really carry sweet wines but have a few semi sweet. My boyfriend loves sweet sweet wines but really loved the Fleur Sauvage so I'd recommend trying that if you are a sweet wine drinker. read more

Great wine, great service, beautiful grounds. We always have a great time at Becker.

We had a really nice time looking around and the property is very nice. We were staying in the area so we bought tastings where they give you 6 tickets to use. We used 2 and decided to use the others the next day. Well guess what? You cannot do that as all the tasting coupons need to be used on that same day. No explanation, no refund, and honestly they weren't very nice about like we were stupid and should have known. However once the employee saw my $5000 camera and I mentioned that this would be mentioned in my review, only then did she offered a free sample. We were really disappointed as the tastings are $25 each and to provide a glass and allow us to enjoy the winery a second day doesn't cost a thing. Overall I think there are plenty other wineries (39) in the area that you should go to instead. This one has gotten too snooty for us. read more

The winery in this area that started it all. If you want to know more about Texas wine - don't pass up this gem. This small winery has grown and grown which is just fabulous. Most of the winery owners, wine makers, tasting room staff have all worked at Becker at some point in their careers. We did a small group tastings and really loved working with our guide Cynthia who modified the standard tour to help accommodate our schedule crunch and the wine knowledge of those in the group. Excellent work Cynthia!!! read more

Fredericksburg on its own is a vibe. It was our first time visiting Texas wine country and wow was it incredible! We love picking up Becker wines at our local grocery stores in Dallas so my husband was determined to visit their vineyards while in Fredericksburg! Wow. First of all, this is a VENUE. I'm talking everything you could imagine in a winery. Straight out of a movie. The staff was so kind, even when we showed up 30 minutes before closing, (oops). Whoever is reading this and debating whether or not to have their wedding in wine country, DO IT. The Malbec is absolutely fantastic! 100% recommend this bottle when visiting and to take a couple of other bottles back home with you. We had the most amazing time and felt like movie stars the whole time. Will recommend to all! read more

Probably the best place we've visited so far in Fredericksburg and just okay. The staff were okay, the wine was okay, and the venue is beautiful.

Of three vineyards we visited on a recent tasting tour, Becker was the most expensive and most impersonal. Wouldn't pick it the next visit.

I've been to Becker multiple times through the years and it's proven itself as my favorite. It's so much so that I joined their wine club (my first wine club) during COVID, when they were shut down for tastings. I wanted to support this beautiful winery with its delicious, well priced wines. After my second shipment of wines, I was able to enjoy some of the perks of my wine club membership (aka complimentary wine tastings). I went with a few friends to do an early Friday outdoor wine tasting. If you didn't know, Becker was one of the last wineries to re-open so it shouldn't have surprised me how seriously they were taking everything. You have to have a reservation (we did) and all of the tables (outdoor-only option) were much further than 6ft apart. In addition to that, we did see them cleaning the tables in between reservations. My friends and I enjoyed our leisurely outdoor tasting and were able to feel a bit of normalcy. It was so enjoyable. Tasting prices seemed a bit higher than before but I'm sure they have to account for the fact that they can't have as many tastings. read more
