We were shopping and stumbled upon Grape Creek's Main Street location, which was convenient because we had the couples wine passport. We were able to choose between a few tastings and I was excited to finally try the Heath sparkling wine flight. My boyfriend tried the grape Creek red wine flight. We enjoyed our time there. It's a no frills tasting room, but our server was fantastic and really made our time there enjoyable. read more

We stopped by because we saw something in the storefront we were going to purchase for our SIL. Yes a $375 wine holder. Yes we had a drink in our hand but instead of staying so sorry, you can't bring drinks in here, we felt discriminated by the hostess asked is there alcohol in it? We said yes and this one only had watermelon juice which a sweet girl gave to us for donating to her cheerleading fundraiser next door. He proceed to say TABC doesn't allow it, and we would get shut down. Where's your southern hospitality? Simple, "so sorry but you can't bring alcohol beverages in here that you purchase else where"would've be sufficent. Do not recommend, bring back the southern hospitality, or get rid of him. He doesn't even presents well as your front store guy he's turning away your business. read more

I stopped in with some family to do a standard wine tasting. The inside of the store front was nice and clean, but the service here was terrible. The man who greeted us when entering and helped set us up with the wine tasting was friendly. He did a great job. I did not catch his name. Once we walked into the back room to start the tasting we quickly began to be borderline harassed to purchase a wine plan from Floy behind the counter. Half of the words that came out of her mouth were just ramblings about the wine club and why we should do it. Pushing back when we politely declined. I filled out my card to choose the wines I wanted to try, and Floy kept suggesting wines I could try and pouring me thimble sized glasses to sip. I incorrectly assumed she was being friendly and giving some free samples before the tasting. After getting through exactly 4 thimble sized pours of wines I never asked for (and rejecting her push to get me to purchase a wine plan), she suddenly stopped and just stared at us awkwardly asking if we were finished. I thought I still had MY selection for the 34 dollar wine tasting, but I was wrong. Wasn't even worth the argument, and I just left. Floy had the audacity to say to mention her name in a review after. Well, here you go Floy. Your service was not appreciated. Thanks for wasting my time and money. For anyone considering stopping here while visiting Fredericksburg, go elsewere. Plenty of other great places with better tasting wine, nice service, and for a cheaper price. read more

We stopped in as a party of 4 today. The woman serving us made us feel as those we were a burden to be there. It was our first time in. We were handed brochures with pens without any explanation. When asked what they were for she very rudely told us we weren't picking any wine based on our tasting package and that it was for only wine purchases. When I asked again for clarification she appeared very annoyed. The experience was not welcoming and we felt rushed out at the end. read more

We stopped here on our 290 wine tour. We were immediately told unless we were members it would be a 30 min wait. That's totally understandable if it is a bumping place, but there were plenty of open spots. Definitely a snooty vibe. Plenty of other wineries that will welcome you with open arms for a testing! Not my vibe. Looked like a pretty place though. read more

One of our favorite winery stops in Fredericksburg! All the wines in our flight were good. Would definitely be back if in the area.

Everyone was friendly our servers were fantastic and Leilani was the best and very knowledgeable.

I would never come back here the older Caucasian lady who was serving our wine was SOOO RUDE! She was extremely disrespectful, I told the front desk of our encounter and the lady simply said oh I'm sorry about that have a great day. Also you get to stand up when there's several chairs open for the members regardless if 30 chairs are open they are only for members. read more

Is this the best tasting room in Fredericksburg, TX? Yes! Modern tasting room in the middle of Main Street. Great TX wines, sparkling wines and Napa Valley wine if you're a wine conossieur. Katie, Leigh, Johna, and Christina took such great care of us. We'll be back for sure. read more

Very disappointed to learn that these people had attitude and were not nice. Never got a chance to taste the wine as we needed to leave. read more

Grape Creek is such a great place to visit. The winery is beautiful and they have several different styles of wine featured on the property. The winerys ambiance feels so much like an Italian winery. The hosts of the tastings are so knowledgeable and made the experience super pleasant. We love the membership and what it gives us access to! read more

My friend and I wanted a glass of wine while strolling main street and decided to pop into Grape Creek Winery. The inside of the store/ tasting room was well done and looked like a nice place to unwind for a bit. I walked to the counter in the tasting room and was ignored for the entire time I stood there so I went to the front and asked a woman how I could get help/ a glass of wine. It was then that I was informed that they don't offer single glasses to non-members and my only option was to buy a bottle to-go. This venue definitely didn't make us feel welcome as non-members and isn't a place I would want a membership at after this experience. A place to avoid when planning your trip. read more

Best winery tour experience. The staff are friendly and fun. They are knowledgeable and provide a great visit!

Not welcoming to nonmembers. This location was not welcoming to nonmembers. Would not serve nonmembers without discrimination.

This Winery seems to only cater to members. They charge 30 for tasting only 4 wines and you have to stand the whole time even though they have plenty of seats but they are for members only. If you are looking to relax and enjoy some wine this is not the place. We definitely did not feel welcome! read more

I've been to a lot of wineries and by far this is the worst service and experience I've had in one. Staff not very friendly, ambience is ok but even the quality of wines for what you pay does not make sense. Take your hard earned dollars where customers are better appreciated and where they'll take care of you. read more

Floy did a great job, she was very knowledgeable and was an awesome host! I would definitely recommend stopping by during your trip in Fredericksburg! read more

The fact that they are getting less than 4.0 speaks volumes. Friends from California were in town and wanted to visit both local TEXAS wineries and some of the California wineries who have moved to California. I listened to the staff makes comments about Texas wines and Texas wines makers that were absolutely NOT true. There is in fact a female wine makers not 10 miles from Heath that has been making TEXAS SPARKLING WINE. In-house and owns her equipment. I also am a former member of two former wineries that were acquired by Grape Creek and dropped shortly after the sale. Your wine should stand for itself. Just as your staff should speak truth. I have never taken guest to Beckers or William & Chris and had a staff member misrepresent their wines or tarnish another winerie. I personally think Texas needs to crackers down on "who" can call themselves a vineyard, winery, and tasting room. Especially if they are not using Texas grapes. Grape Creek does make some great wines. I choose not to do business with them because of the way they run their business. And I am NOT ALONE. I have many friends who have had similar experiences with Grape Creek. read more

Grape Creek is one of the nicest if not the nicest on the highway 290 wine shuttle tour. You have to be apart of their wine club for an exclusive patio area and special pricing. They have a very beautiful facility and fantastic wines. A lot of the wines were super easy to drink and they have a wide variety from red, white, and rose. Their tastings were a little pricey, it felt more like a sales pitch when we were there. They were trying to get us to join their wine club where they send out bottles of wines at a certain time of the year. Our bartender was very knowledgeable with all the wines we tried and very personable. Everybody treated us great and was professional. read more

I gotta say I travel to San Antonio for a educational conference and was told to go check out Fredericksburg and Austin Texas. In the Fredericksburg area was this winery above and their service was not great. They served a whole group of people before us even though I was there before and I believe it's because I told him I was from California so if you're from Los Angeles or California don't do business with this winery. They don't need our money so don't give it to him really bad hospitality there. read more

Employees work very hard to make sure you enjoy the offerings. The wine is incredible as the winemaker has won numerous awards for his creations. Make a reservation to be sure you have a spot. read more

So we were dropped off here on the 290 wine tour. The woman at the entrance was haughty and gave a stuck up kind of vibe. We were hungry and wanted to eat with our wine. SORRY, Only members can go to the restaurant. To see the property you had to pay for a tasting and tour. (if you weren't a member) to be a member you had to commit to buying three bottles of wine quarterly. So we couldn't do anything but wait for the bus to pick us up. Side note. The security guard hong around us while we were waiting hum.... Don't go here. read more

First winery we visited in Texas was a winner. Well crafted wines from local vineyards. They also have a vineyard in Paso Robles that supplies some of their higher end wines. The tasting notes do not include the varietals for each wine. But in our case Floy was very knowledgeable about the wines and winery. read more

Rude service, they only care about you becoming a member. The wine isn't good at all, in fact, I ended up wasting most of it. They were really watered down or super bitter. The sweet wines were either overly sweet (just syrup) or they shouldn't be considered a sweet wine at all. $25 for a tasting of 3.... ridiculous in my opinion. You do get a fancy glass but $25 for not even an ounce of wine is insane. The place is really pretty, fancy, we felt special being in there... until we dealt with the workers. My mom even had an allergic reaction to one of the wines, no one seemed to care and in my opinion, that means they put something sketchy in their wine. Enter at your own risk, also, don't fall for the membership. It's a hassle to deal with. read more

Horrible. Snooty "bouncer" at the front door. Informed me I couldn't buy a glass if I'm not a wine club member, but i could buy a bottle. Seriously? I sent an email to the company, and was told they're a "wine club winery" and "a country club for wine lovers" but they "want everyone to enjoy Grape Creek" and "love sharing their winery and wines with new guests so they can decide if they want to join the club". Pretty contradictory to me, as how can everyone love it if they can't try it, lol. Asinine. With the overwhelming choices of wineries in the area, I'll definitely not visit the actual Grape Creek Winery. I just can't wrap my head around a company that turns away business. read more

They have storefront on main Street in FGB, and also a winery on 290. I wish I could have gone to there tasting/tour. It was all sold out. I have had there Cab Blanc in the past and really liked it. So I got another bottle while here! Cheers! read more

We booked a sparkling taste test here for $30 each and had a good time! The wines were good and we thoroughly enjoyed chatting with the hosts. We stood at the bar the whole time, but it would have been nice to have some seating options for the tasting. When we finished the sparkling tasting, we had a couple group members who were still on their last couple wines, but Mike very graciously offered us more samples based on our wine preferences (sweet, dry, fruity, etc.). We were able to get 3 wines for $29 total (original price of $100+) by signing up for the membership, which is cancellable at any time. The membership is essentially just purchasing wines at a discounted price online during their "season" (i.e. sparkling drop offs are during certain months). Overall, we enjoyed the experience! read more

Amazing ambiance. Great wine tasting . Katie was our expert that was so helpful, knowledgeable, friendly...we had a most lovely experience.

Rude staff, nasty wine, stiff atmosphere, there are better wineries to visit. Will not visit again and not recommend

My wife and I liked our charcuterie board as an afternoon snack at the patio here after our tasting next door at Heath Sparkling wines. Membership required, which we'll only have for 3 mos ($$$$ sparkling wines at Heath). It's been our favorite venue so consider checking it out if you are a member at Grape Crerk or Heath... read more

This is not a winery, it is a scam! DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION!! YOU WILL BE SIGNED UP FOR THEIR WINE CLUB. $400 TO $500 DOLLARS A MONTH FOR 3 BOTTLES OF WINE THAT ARE WORTH MAYBE $30 EACH. It's sad that the owners of this "so called vineyard" can only make a profit by scamming visitors. The owners should be ashamed. I think it's the Heaths that own Grape Creek. I asked them to refund me for 3 bottles of wine they shipped without me knowing, they sent an email to my girfriend. They refused to accept a refund on the wine and cited the agreement we signed at the tasting that we thought was for payment of the 3 bottles of wine we purchased during the tasting. These people are like what you wipe off the bottom of your boots! Enough said!! read more

ONE OF THE WORST WINERY'S EVER! We were wine tasting all over and we came here, obviously had been drinking from other wineries and they didn't feel comfortable serving us? Taking my mother in law for Mother's Day to the wineries. Bartender older woman with white hair wouldn't serve us at all because my mother in law didn't want to drink so she felt uncomfortable drinking more. So the bartender didn't want to serve us? Never ever coming back again! Stuck up people. Worst service! read more

We really enjoyed this wine tour and tasting. I seen a few reviews saying they where pushing the membership pretty hard but we did not feel like this our tour guide greg didn't put no pressure on us at all and even gave us alone time to discuss it. Even if we didn't get the membership the tour was definitely worth it and greg did a great job with our tour. He didn't make us feel out of place or lost as we a very new to wine. The vineyard was very nice as well with a beautiful courtyard and best of all the wine was delicious! read more

Dropped in for a tasting in a Tuesday! Wasn't busy at all so we were helped quickly. It's $25 per person for 4 wine samples, but they give you a list with descriptions and you choose which ones you want. The sommelier was very friendly and gave us great info on all the wines! I really liked getting to choose which wines I was trying. I even decided to take a bottle home since they do not sell to any major retailers. Grape Creek has a large vineyard right outside the town on 290 that you can pay to tour but we were walking down Main and decided to pop into this location. read more

Came for a tour and tasting! We were late for our tour time but they very kindly put us onto the next one. The wines were very delicious and they allow you to choose a variety to taste. They heavily advertise the membership and make it irresistible to join! read more

Decided to stop on our trip through Fredericksburg. The tasting room was inviting , the staff were friendly and our wait was not long. We tried multiple wines, not all were to our liking but , not everyone likes every wine. However we did find some we enjoyed. The interior was lovely , the murals on the wall are beautiful. Our server was , I believe Mark. He was very friendly, knowledgeable . Cannot wait to try out the patio. read more

3 years ago I was able to do a wine taste and buy a few bottles of wine and Porto. I went into just buy a few bottles of Porto wine which they denied me and stated it members only. They claimed it has been 7yrs since only members can buy which is a straight out lie. I would never recommend anyone to sign up for their membership. Plus I did get a racist vibe when I got denied purchase. Which many reviews online that I read who are Hispanic or black have similar experiences. read more

My visit took place many years ago. I went during the holidays, it was chilly so we opted to stay inside. We had wine tastings for the group and their selections and orientation was very thorough. The wines were fresh and tasty, reasonably priced as well! We got to keep the glasses we had the tastings in and unbelievably I still have them as keepsakes. It was a memorable experience and I'm looking forward to going back! read more

We joined Grape Creek about a month ago while visiting with friends for Valentine's Day Weekend. We had an incredible experience with Chuck. The man was incredible to learn from and had a great way of making everyone feel right at home. This weekend, we are visiting for my wife's birthday. We needed a little getaway to recharge our batteries. We visited the tasting room in Main Street. Leigh (I hope I'm spelling it right) was not one ounce short of fabulous to visit with. Last, but not least, while having a quick lunch a Stout's (the restaurant for members) we met Abigail. She was so insightful, attentive, and friendly. She made us feel at home while we enjoyed our pizza, which is superb - 1/2 Chicken Bacon Ranch and Pepperoni. If you're looking for a great experience, we both highly recommend. The wine distracted me from taking photos, but the food here speaks for itself. A great little midday snack! read more
