The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, the wine selection is thoughtfully put together, and the staff? Absolutely top-notch. Hannah made the entire experience unforgettable. She's incredibly knowledgeable, so kind, and brings such a joyful energy that it instantly puts you at ease. Her passion for wine (and cheese!) is so genuine, and she made the tasting both fun and educational--without ever feeling stuffy or scripted. Every wine and cheese pairing came with a little story or insight, and it completely changed how we experienced each sip. We've done wine tastings before, but this one felt totally different--in the best way. It was personal, engaging, and you could really feel the love behind every detail. We made the trip up from Austin and honestly? We're already planning our next visit. This time, we're bringing more friends so they can see what all the hype is about. Huge thank you to Hannah for making our day so special--we left smiling and can't wait to come back. If you're anywhere near Salado (or even if you're not), this spot is a must. Highly, highly recommend!

The Salado Red and Tannat stood out for overall quality for bouquet, body & finish. The Montepulciano finishes with robust peppery notes and would pair well with some Indian butter chicken or fajitas.

We'll stop in for a glass of sangria on a hot day - guaranteed.

Knob Creek rocks, Elijah Craig rocks, a Ranch Water (a bit too sweet), and a classic Italian Aperol Spritz. Dinner on the patio starting with a smoked bacon appetizer followed by a wedge salad. Sugared bacon was delicious. Wedge didn't have the salad core removed which was a bit disappointing. Shared a coal-fired Margarita pizza with chicken added. Pizza was cooked perfectly and was delicious with a healthy amount of ingredients, including the excellent blend of cheeses. Our waiter Peter was very professional, friendly and informative. Definitely recommend the Vineyard for an upscale night out with excellent ambiance featuring a Mediterranean decor. Will go back.

It looked pretty, but nothing came together, and the biscuit was very dry. We also tried the Cuban sandwich--way too fatty and overly thick, hard to enjoy. The loaded croissant, however, was very good, and the fries were solid. The artichoke dip had little to no flavor, and the bread wasn't grilled like the menu said. The atmosphere was beautiful--you feel like you're in a villa. The country drive out there is nice, and the grounds are gorgeous. Drinks were on point and the wine was good, though pricey for a small pour. Our waiter was friendly but not very attentive. Overall, probably won't be back. We've had much better experiences at wineries in Fredericksburg. I don't mind paying for an expensive meal if it's worth it--this just wasn't. Very disappointed.

While…read morethey don't have their own in-house wines, they have a variety of "exclusive" wines that tastes amazing. I love that they offer 5 tastings for $15. Unlike other places, they limit you to 3 tasting. Chris was amazing! Very knowledgeable of each wine and great recommendations. I'm more of a sweet wine kind of gal but walked away with a glass of dry wine, how is that?! Thank you, Chris! The inside is small and intimate but they also have a covered patio with a beautiful open yard to sit in peace and enjoy. If you're not up for the outdoors, they also have an air conditioned wine lounge with games, music, and tv. If you're ever in the area, do yourself a favor and drop in!

I did taste a lot of good food and some good wine - I'm not a huge sweet wine drinker and most of the wines that were there to sample were on the "too sweet" side for me. The food was really tasty though! I enjoyed the little samples mixed in with the wine. My favorite sample was the first vendor I tasted (I wish I remembered the name of the place) but they had brought chicken, pork, and ribs. I tried them all and the ribs were definitely the best. They had the 1 Cav jazz band out there playing. They were good and it absolutely went with the feel of the festival. The biggest issue I had with this is that they only gave you 5 tasting tickets for the wine... that's 1 ticket per 1oz pour on top of a $25 entrance fee. The wine vendors and the event host(s) I don't think ironed out exactly what they were going to do. Many vendors told me that I could buy more tasting tickets but this was not true. You could buy samples directly from the vendors. I think that was a bit confusing for both the guests and the vendors. They advertised a BBQ cookoff however, I didn't see one there. I'm sure they had one but I didn't see anyone cooking. Honestly, it wasn't a well planned out festival. I think perhaps next year they'll do better with some more planning, a better wine tasting plan, and some more signs or an MC or something to tell people where to go for certain events.
