I love Wildseed farms because it's iconic. They do wine tastings here although that is not the main…read morething they're known for (at least to me), despite their location right in the middle of wine country. They have a big shop with a lot of gardening themed tools and items, and they sell plants as well. They have a cafeteria with tables and chairs that sells your standard fast food options, and they sell things like homemade salsa, jam, and of course bottles of wine in there too. The thing I like most about Wildseed: they have a path you can walk around that stretches between their vineyards and ends at a little fence facing the mass of wildflower fields that bloom in the spring with red, blue, and yellow wildflowers. If you go at the time it's in bloom, you'll be blessed with SUCH an incredible view, and all the little butterflies and bees zoom around while you walk the little trail/path. I think it's so lovely that it's been around/available to walk all these years. They do also have a little garden aspect at the beginning of the trail with a pond etc. that you can look at. It's mad cute. Definitely pay this spot a visit if you're passing through Fredericksburg!

Finally made the trek over to check out Wildseed Farms. We came across this place accidentally as…read morewe were leaving Enchanted Rock. At that time, there was nothing going on and nothing growing so we decided to come back around when spring was happening. So this time around, definitely more popular, more cars and people wanting to check the place out. Essentially I was expecting this to be more of a field of flowers. But, it's basically that (although there wasn't much of it yet, just some flowers to see) and garden decor, pots, gifts, wine, pickled things, plants and LOTS of wildflower seeds to plant at home. The plants, some were decently priced, most were a little pricier. Just depends on which ones. Majority of the ones we wanted were a little better price wise vs going to home depot, at least we think so! We walked around the adventure trail (since it was free) to get some steps in and have the kids burn some of their energy out while roaming around (minus my toddler, she would want to run away and fast haha so I changed my mind on that idea). The trail itself was open, spacious and a great way to get some fresh air. You can be lucky enough to catch some glimpses of some flowers that could be sprouting out even though there's not much! The shops: they had different types of store fronts, one for food/snack/pickled items alongside a small cafe where you can order beer and wine, another for more accessories, clothing and some planting items too! They had standing wine tasting area near the trail walking area if you want to walk around with some wine. Parking: so much parking, so definitely not to worry although I can image it being more difficult when the flowers really bloom in their field.

We signed up for their guided tasting experience which was amazing! So educational and informative. In addition to the special edition olive oils & balsamic vinegars curated for the tasting, we were allowed unlimited samples of their infused flavored olive oils as well, which were absolutely delicious! This place offers quality olive oils and balsamic vinegars at very reasonable prices. We ended up taking home several bottles- their Sola Stella, Terra Verde, & Sicilian olive oils as well as their Traditional Balsamic and Bourbon Balsamic. After the tasting we enjoyed a light lunch at their bistro, which was delightful. Farm to table, fresh food paired with a bottle of Chardonnay made for the perfect end to our experience. Highly recommend!

Definitely gave us a better idea of what true olive oil should taste like (most store-bought olive oils are adulterated with seed oil). We also were able to taste three of their specialty balsamic vinegars, which were outstanding. I left with a bottle of their wild cherry balsamic to mix with my next old-fashioned drink at home. Their bistro serves a great menu. We sipped on their tasty wild cherry and peach sangrias (made with their balsamic vinegars) and thought that their lemon caesar salad with chicken was excellent. We might come back here for lunch if we visit the area again.

Pearl Farmers Market is one of my favorite weekend activities!…read more This farmers market has been going on for a couple of years and it just keeps getting bigger and better with each year. On Saturdays they host more of the classic "farmers market" where you can find local produces from around the area. However, on Sundays they host a "makers market" where is mainly produce and stuff made by amazing local businesses. The market has grown so much in the last couple of years that now truly covers the entire outdoor space of The Pearl. For the summer they changed their hours and markets start at 9am and I believe in winter they will move it back to 10am. They also host a couple evening markets on the weekdays for those looking to stay out of the heat. This market is always such a great time and it is very family and pet-friendly! Make sure to check them out on an upcoming weekend.

This is more like a street party with food trucks, venders and artisans. They shut the streets down. There's a huge stage with a band. Food trucks line the streets. Another area is venders and produce, seafood, and even home made items. Restaurants open their doors, they even have a small table out on the sidewalk sampling drinks. YES, looks like you can walk around with a drink in hand. I saw people selling beer in copper mugs. White Claw booth. ZAO was giving away 12 ounce drinks as well. So impressed. Had a great time. I did pay $3.00 for parking. I'm sure there is free street parking. But since I don't know my way around. I just paid at the first lot of saw that wasn't full. Well worth $3.00. I think it was for 2 hours. Can totally see people spending their whole day here getting food, listening to the band enjoying the sunshine, as the rain storm we got.
