    Outdoor area

    I'm traveling with little kids and needed a spot to enjoy some wine and views. This place comes with the added benefit of having some live animals on site. The donkeys were friendly and came to greet us. Unfortunately no apples or feed were available for us to give to them but the kids still got the interact and enjoy the experience. Near the oak tree area there were also some games for the kids to enjoy which was very nice to let's us parents sit and enjoy some wine. The wine which I had was quite good. It was the port wine blend which I enjoyed.

    Tim our server was excellent. We had the place to ourselves this Monday morning at opening (11am). He offered us 4-5 free tastings before we decided, and even gave us apple slices to feed the friendly donkeys out back. He's an expert on wildlife conservation and can give some recommendations regarding local animal-supporting activities. I enjoyed my sweet white "Saturn," and my wife liked the semi-sweet "Chica." The cheese board was tasty as well. We may try some food next time. Fun and relaxed venue with plenty of outdoor seating.

    If you're looking for the BEST dog-friendly (and people-friendly) wine tasting room in the Fredericksburg/290 area, Hye Meadow Winery is it! I did a ton of research on pup-friendly tasting rooms prior to our trip and I'm so glad this place popped up on my radar. You can easily make a reservation on their website that gets you an inside or outdoor space for a tasting that is dog and kid friendly. Since it's August, and hot as heck, my husband and I (and our two dogs, Jake and Finn) were so thankful and grateful our reservation got us a space inside their super cute (and air-conditioned) tasting room. Not only were the wines delicious (we bought a bottle of Tempranillo) but we also loved the sandwiches and cheese boards. The indoor space is a good size (and cute and comfy!) and the outdoor space is huge. There are outdoor fans and a great grass area (sans sticker burrs) where our babes were able to run around, which is so hard to find this time of year. Delaney was our wine pourer Friday and again on Sunday when we came back because we loved it so much. She was so welcoming, friendly and excited/knowledgeable about the wine, which made us too! There were a couple of other super friendly staffers there both days (I'm sorry I didn't get your names!) who made our visits such great experiences. It was truly the best case scenario for us. Hye Meadow will now always be our favorite stop in this area. Thanks so much, y'all!!

    It was a pleasure meeting Justin, so much fun introducing the stages and steps of each wine at our tasting this afternoon. Relaxing atmosphere, really good music and wine selection! As recommended, we purchased tickets for the Love Libations Scavenger Hunt, can't wait to come back for the raffle, karaoke and more!

    What a great winery with awesome acreage developed for guests! The kids played while we enjoyed our tasting! Wine choices were superb! And the Cheese Board was delicious - 3 kinds of specialty cheeses along with sausage, peppers and jam! Highly recommend! Worth the stop!!

    Awesome outdoor space

    Hye Meadow is such a relaxing and wonderful winery. My fiancé and I stopped by here earlier this week and we fell in love with the location. I absolutely loved the patio and the views! Not to mention, the wine here is AWESOME!! I enjoyed a wine tasting, so I had the opportunity to try different types of wines and Y'ALL!!! Every single type of wine that I had was INCREDIBLE. You cannot go wrong here! Thank you Hye Meadow for the wonderful experience!

    I really enjoyed this winery. We had some really good wine as we seat outside and listened to music as we enjoyed our picnic we brought there. We will be back for sure!

    The wine was pretty good overall. My girlfriend and I did the Blended Tasting with a mix of white a red wines. So far I'm this area it is the best around. The service was on point. We loved the little pourers they had were really cute. The property is very pretty with all the oak and pecan trees. It's a great place to relax and lay back. Not uppity at all.

    Hye Meadow's magnificent patio out back.

    A very good winery in Hye, one of the blink-and-you'll-miss-it small towns along the 290, on the way into Fredericksburg. Hye Meadow seems to specialize in 'blended' wines, for example their excellent 'Junkyard White' being a blend of Reisling and two other mild whites. The 'Junkyard' and the Edelzwicker were the top picks according to the server we chatted with, and I'd agree - very good sipping wine. Though many people here like the interior, I found it a bit too modernistic and bare-bones for my taste. However, the outdoor patio space out back is heavenly, and a must-visit for those who stop in. The highlight for me was spending time out here with a glass and their spectaular cheese plate. Definitely worth your time to visit if you're cruising the 290 'Wine Corridor' and want some 'me time'!

    It was pickup day!

    This is a great winery full of great people who greet us with a smile every time and continue to provide a comfortable enjoyable experience. Go check out the amazing selection of Texas wines served by happy people

    Dog friendly patio?

    Yes! And we were there on a cold, slow day so they allowed our dog (lab) inside. Very dog friendly.

The $35 cave tasting included 5 wines from Rose to Red (no whites). You'll get a wealth of knowledge on the grapes, regions, process and the final product.

Calais Winery is easy to miss as it sits right off 290 between Johnson City and Fred. Look for the French Flag. The cave is an intimate setting and you are surrounded by their French Oak wine barrels. It is cool in there. We learned during our private tasting that they have been producing their limited production wines since 2008. The winemaker is a French-born engineer-turned-winemaker, Benjamin Calais. Even though the wine is produced using Texas grapes Calais uses old school French traditions when producing his wines. Our tasting included their Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and even a Rose'. The Left and Right Bank Bordeaux rivaled any Cab that we have sampled in Fred or Napa. The 2020 Gravitas red blend was an absolute joy to sample and it was one of the wines that traveled home with us. From their best harvests they select the 10 best barrels in the winery and produce Gravitas. It is unbelievably complex and if you enjoy a fuller than full bodied wine you will love Gravitas. Check out their website for a detailed description. Do make reservations as they are booked even on the weekdays.

    One word to describe this winery: gorgeous! The new tasting…read moreroom is modern and beautifully designed, with thoughtful aesthetics throughout. The spacious patio and lovely views overlooking the vineyard make it an especially relaxing place to spend an afternoon. I came for the summer tasting event and I'm so glad I did! It's about a little under a hour's drive from Austin for me, but I had a free Sunday and the drive was really enjoyable, so it was definitely worth it especially since the wine was pretty good. For the tasting, the Cab Franc was the standout for me and I even ended up buying a bottle to take home. Honestly though, pretty much all of the reds were enjoyable. My server was friendly and attentive and even let me try a few wines that weren't included in my tasting, which I really appreciated. I also had the chance to meet one of the owners Daniel, who was incredibly friendly and introduced me to the in-house chef who makes the oven-fired pizzas. Seriously, don't skip the pizzas! They're still working on bringing the winery to its full potential, but based on my experience, I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the Hill Country area.

    Visited the new tasting room and it is GORGEOUS! Plenty of parking outside, with some construction…read moreareas to watch out for. As soon as you walk in, there is large bar with sitting areas on both sides. One side was a little bit louder, by the food kitchen and another bar. The other side has couches and chairs only. Its very calm and relaxing. There's also a family bathroom and a bathroom with a bunch of unisex stalls. We ordered a tasting of 5-6 wines for $20. We started with the pinot noir sparkling, it was SO good made in the traditional method. We also tried the SpRonkling, Petit Manseng, 2 Tempranillos and a blend. The Rose sparkling was my favorite. Great hospitality and vibes all around, but not my favorite wines.
