This was our second visit to Kai-Simone Winery. My husband did a 6 wine flight tasting (also available in a 4 wine flight), but I decided to give their pear mimosa a try. The Asian pear mimosa was a great balance of homemade pear syrup mixed with moscato wine. It was not super sweet like most traditional mimosas and had a unique flavor to it. My husband enjoyed his flight and our favorite was the semi-dry rose. They have friendly, attentive staff and a beautiful outdoor patio with live music events (check calendar). We are also glad that we could support this veteran owned winery. read more

We decided to return to Kai Simone as part of a month-long birthday celebration. It is still a great place to spend a few hours on a Sunday afternoon. It was really quiet when we arrived so we decided to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Our server was nice and had us all ordering and eating very quickly. We shared the Italian cheese and meat tray and did the wine tastings. The food was delicious and we all had a very relaxing time just talking and laughing and getting away from it all. read more

Kai-Simone Winery - Lovely Thyme Brunch & Wine Event - Wineries Near Me - Spring Branch, Texas

It was a small nice place to relax. The experience was not what I expected. The wait staff was friendly . I believe the owner was there. I traveled 300 plus miles first visit and she walked by and said hi! Quickly. There was no interaction with guest. I assume you can walk around if you like. But you learn nothing about the wines or the location. My trip was about a hour. The charcuterie boards are that of a cheap setup . Hopefully as I start this new experience , I'll have a better journey next time at a different location. But I will not be returning. Was not there at night. It was about 1:30 in the afternoon. I was there when it was on 8 people dining last night Saturday (approximately 3 tables). while you were doing yard work. Thanks for replying but seeing that it was not busy at all. I should not have to go to the QR code. You should want to mingle so that we would support more and bring more friends to support you. Thanks for showing us we are just that customers. read more

Such a beautiful winery with great service and amazing wine selections. I came here for a private event to celebrate a friends birthday party. The venue has great outdoor space. A lot of open area with seating. Also a great covered area for music acts and dancing. One thing I noticed right away while sitting outside was NO BUGS. The whole time we did not get bit by a single mosquito. The lawn is treated well. They also have a nice layout indoors. Great bar area for wine pouring and a large room that can be a private space. Wine selections ranged from sweet to dry. I really enjoyed the Pink Sky Rose, it's sweet and easily my favorite. I mostly kept with that selection for the birthday party. I will be coming back to experience as a customer and partake in the tasting and music acts. It's also important for me to celebrate and support Black woman owned businesses. read more

Hubby and I were visiting Marble Falls, TX when we learned about all the wineries located in Fredericksburg. Who knew that Central TX had so many wineries! Anywho, we decided to research black-owned wineries in the area and found Kai Simone. They are not located in Fredericksburg but we still decided to visit. Hubby and I hit the road on a Saturday morning and drove for 1 hour. We arrived a little before they opened at 1pm. The owner and the employees were nice. We had a lovely time as we did wine tasting and enjoyed some snacks. Christy was our server and she was wonderful. I ended up ordering a glass of Rose after my tasting. The Rose is fantastic in opinion - it's not too sweet like other Roses. If I am ever in the area again I will visit Kai Simone. read more

Kai-Simone Winery is one of the best wineries in Texas Hill Country!!! All of the wine here are delicious. My favorite is Pink Sky. The food is delicious, especially the charcuterie boards. The customer service from the owner and the staff is great. They take the time to inform the customers about the different wines and they are always kind and attentive. The owner, Dr. Adam make sure to interact with all the guests at the winery making sure each customer is having a great experience. The ambiance at Kai-Simone Winery is absolutely beautiful. They have a very elegant indoor space and a very relaxing outdoor space with plenty of covered seating. They also host different bands throughout the year. My favorite nights are jazz and R&B nights. Also, there are great perks for being a wine club member!! read more

My friend invited me to hang out. It's such a peaceful drive out there to begin with. It's not a hard place to find. The gps takes you straight there. The owner is super sweet. She took the time to come to our table and greet us. Make sure to ask us how everything was going and how we liked things. She took the time to recommend some wines and go over the different textures and flavors. I'm not a wine person myself but my friend and her mom are. I definitely learned a lot from them. We purchased a charcuterie board, it came with cheese , nuts & a super delicious olive jalapeños thing! MY GOD that was delicious. Did I mention it is a veteran owned , black owned , women business ?! Whooooooo as if It couldn't get better. But to makeIt better , it is SO peaceful out there Definitely recommend to check out. read more

First things first, the numerous signs telling you "No Children" allowed is a little off putting. They really need to chill. So many wineries who don't smack you in the face about that and they do just fine. However they let us bring our 5 week old in with us so we appreciate that. Second tasting are served in tiny plastic cups and I hate that personally, put that in glass so aromas can be better dispersed. We opted out for a tasting and got the Sangiovese which was good so kudos to that. The property is nice and the staff is friendly. read more

We learned about this winery from an article and decided we needed to visit. We were greeted by friendly employees and the owner. We did a 6 wine tasting and really enjoyed all the varieties of wine. The charcuterie board was perfect as well. The menu includes several options of charcuterie. We enjoyed our afternoon and returned for the live music in the evening. We appreciated the friendly atmosphere this winery offered. It is the perfect way to enjoy a beautiful autumn Saturday. read more

Woman owned. Combat veteran owned. Black owned! This place checks off a lot of boxes. Not only all that, but the wines were award winning and the owner and her servers were all super nice and charming. I am so glad I stopped by this little winery. It's a hidden gem for sure! The owner, Dr. Adams, is was so friendly and nice as she explained how she came to own a winery. We are so glad she did. One day, I'd love to come by and enjoy a glass of wine with her! Kai-Simone is a little off the well worn wine trail, but so worth the jaunt through the beautiful Hill Country to visit this special place. I like or loved all of the wines I tasted and I went home with two bottles. I'll make a point to stop by as often as I'm able. Salute! read more

Unsure of how I learned about this place, but I'm so glad I did! It was a little chilly outside so my friend and I opted to sit inside. This location was decorated so beautifully and the staff was knowledgeable and friendly. I loved that each wine choice had a clear description of what we should expect. I so look forward to trying this location in the Summer for all the Summer time events! Definitely recommend! read more

Kai-Simone Winery - Wine Tasting - Wineries Near Me - Spring Branch, Texas

We were looking to try out a couple of new wineries over Labor Day Weekend. This popped up on a Google search. For the tasting, you can choose four wines for $15 or six wines for $20. They are doing all tastings outside so that social distancing can be maintained and they brought all six wines out as a flight. Service was attentive and friendly and all servers were wearing masks. The wines were on the sweet side for my taste (I prefer dry, bold reds). They had a small selection of small plates (charcuterie, dips with vegetables, and pizza). My only reason for giving four stars was the pizza was a cheap frozen pizza that they heated up. We enjoyed the experience and supporting a new winery that opened up during a pandemic. read more

Had a wonderful time at this winery. Even though the tasting room wasn't open, my boyfriend and I sat outside and enjoyed our time. My favorite wine was the Pink Sky Rose. It's not too dry and just enough sweetness. read more

Kai-Simone Winery - Wineries Near Me - Spring Branch, Texas

My granddaughters were in town from Houston. We decided to do a local wine tour of three small wineries to help small businesses. We were seated on the patio which was comfortable. There isn't a vineyard onsite which detracted from the experience. The Chardonnay was very good. Smooth with just the right balance of dry to sweet. We wanted to love this place as it is veteran owned and the owner was quite friendly. The waitress was socially awkward at best. She wasn't able to answer questions about the wine or small plates. When we asked for more crackers for the artichoke dip and hummus we were told they're pre-packaged so we couldn't have more. I was certainly willing to pay but that was not an option. I hope this was a unique experience and they will be successful. read more

Fair wine at a higher price. Property needs some better landscaping to keep up with other wineries. Music inside was too load and uptempo. Need to have more mellow jams something soothing and enjoyable so your not struggling to have a conversation. read more

Friendly owner and hostess. Lovely grounds, and of course great wines. Worth the visit.

Wine tasting poured in plastic pill cups, and not even once ounce pours. Poor quality wines. Nice atmosphere. They don't accept cash or America Express. Don't waste your time or money. read more

We've been members here for a couple years. Sheila and all the employees are super attentive and accommodating. Wines never disappoint and are always changing. No need to drive all the way to Johnson City, Stonewall or Fredericksburg. Kai-Simone has something for everyone. Cheers! read more

I so wanted to give them a 5 star rating and it truly would have been if they had a better wine selection. The venue is clean, and beautifully decorated. Service was good. Set up makes it easy to socially distance from others. Easy to order snacks from menu. The one thing that was the deal breaker for me is that their tasting menu offered 7 wines yet all were VERY dry. There was one sweet one listed but sold out. I scheduled a group tasting for 13. Most of the people in my group made it through 4-6 tastings w/o finishing and absolutely no one made a wine purchase and that says a lot. read more

What a great experience! Sheila is amazing. The tasting was wonderful and her Rose is delicious on this beautiful day. They were so welcoming and took the time talk with us about their winery. We'll definitely be back. read more

Would've loved to give a better review; however, I simply can't. To start the positives, the place is beautiful and clean. Plus the ambiance was upbeat. On the other side, no one explained the different types of wines that we tasted like most wineries do: type of grapes, region, age of the wine, etc. The wine was served in shot glasses. I mean--this is a winery and wine should be served in wine glasses. Most of the wines I had were bitter. If the winery can make a few changes it would be a much better experience. Otherwise, I much more preferred the other wineries that provide the full wine experience. Room for improvement here!! read more

We went out last Friday with a group of friends for a private tasting! Everyone In our party had a blast, Sheila and Christine were so friendly and taught us a lot about wine. Thank you for an incredible kick off to an amazing weekend! read more

Kai-Simone Winery is great place to meet up with friends, book a Private Party, wind down and absorb the relaxing atmosphere. I love being a Wine Club member, and sampling the great selection of Reds, Whites & Sparkling wines. So far, the Petite Syrah is my favorite Red. Very pleased that the Spring Branch location is an easy drive from San Antonio & Boerne compared to the further distance to Fredericksburg. Looking forward to continued experiences! read more
