Nut allergy friendly: I had no issues here with the tasting nor the restaurant…read more Note that Yelp has one listing for the entire place whereas Google Maps seems to separate them into the Bistro and the shop. They are attached, all one building. They are really responsive! I accidentally booked a reservation for 14 instead of 13, asked for a refund, and received it within a day. We arrived 10 minutes early for our appointed tasting time, and spent it wandering around the shop. We were led to the back tasting room on time and seated with a delicious tasting set of 6 olive oils and 4 balsamic vinegars, along with some bread as a palette cleanser. Our host was very informative and each olive oil and balsamic were noticeably different. The Sicilian was a great tasting Olive Oil x Italian Herb type of feeling, and most of the olive oils had the authentic black peppery aftertaste. I ended up going home with some of the Terra Verde to share with people, as well as the fig balsamic vinegar. We ended up eating at the bistro here, too (Order-to-entree: ~25 minutes-35 minutes for the entire table of 13). The flatbread was very sharable among two people. Everyone did comment on how the olive oil notes stood out in their dishes! The prices were extremely reasonable and they set aside a long table for our large group, great service all around. Overall, we had a great experience here and would definitely recommend the tasting for a unique nonalcoholic experience in the area.

Making a road trip to the hill country for an olive oil tasting trip was not on my bingo card, but…read morewhen wifey wants to go, then we go. I've known that the rocky soils in the Texas Hill Country are good for wine producing, but recently learned that it is also great for making great olive oils. With many misleading brands in the grocery store, extra virgin olive oil includes a high percentage of seed oils as Texas does a poor job of regulating what the label says. As we are constantly looking for better options to prepare our foods, finding a healthy olive oil has been on our minds recently. Texas Hill Country Olive Co. is not only producing authentic oils, but is also an award winning brand for doing such. During the tasting, we not only sampled a variety of oils and balsamic vinegars they produce, but also learned the history of doing so. The 4 s, sniff, swirl, sip, and swallow was the process to get the true taste to come alive in our mouths. We ended up buying the Sicilian olive oil and Blackberry balsamic vinegar to take home, as they were our favorites. There are many to choose from, so it's worth doing the tasting. If you have an afternoon free, desire a new experience, and want to view the beautiful hill country landscape, then this may be just the trip for you.

This ended up being my favorite wine, not only of the whole tasting, but of the multiple vineyards we visited that day. We were brought to our tasting station which allowed for standing only and our guide was very knowledgable about the wines. I especially liked that he was purposefully reluctant to share the wine notes so that we could judge for ourselves (however, as someone who only tastes notes of wine and nothing else, it made it a little difficult). We ended up with a lineup of reds which was not what I expecting. Despite not being a huge fan of red wine, I still fully enjoyed myself and the wine that we tried. Our guide even gave us another tasting to try that was a off menu. I will be back and hopefully, I can try some more whites at that time! My biggest regret is not buying a bottle of the Mama Ruth. What in the world was I thinking?

Overall, a nice place, with a simple tasting menu for many to enjoy.

Other people also stopped by to help and chat and everyone was so so lovely and friendly. I loved the Alegria, Blanc de blanc, and the Riesling. Bummed they can't currently ship to California but will definitely be having our friends bring us a case when they next road trip (and they also gave me hope that shipping to CA will be an option next year).

When we went, it was in the middle of the day on a Monday so they did seem a little shortstaffed. However, the woman working was extremely nice and was able to guide us through our tasting very well. The wines were- in our subjective opinion- a bit hit or miss. Some of the wines were good, some were bland. If you enjoy full bodied wines stick with their vintage and pay for the upgrade wine tasting experience. Or I would even recommend just buying a bottle/ glass of their Tempranillo.

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.

Brooke herself was there managing the crowd, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the guest experience and making sure everything is running smoothly.

I can't speak to the negative owner comments as I didn't encounter her, but they seemed to be doing fine in her absence. I can definitely see how some might feel a little uneasy here, as if you don't "fit the vibe" you will look and feel largely out of place which is unfortunate. Granted, that's kind of a Fredericksburg thing in general. Long story short, if you want a place that is gram worthy - this is the dream location. If you want to be relaxed and have a slower more inviting pace, look elsewhere.
