Located just off the Old San Antonio Road near Fredericksburg, one of the newest wineries has joined the Texas Hill Country family. This venture has been a dream for owners Mike & Rosann Mitrione. Their first vineyard was established in the Texas High Plains in 2018, where they planted around 15 varietals across 27 acres. In 2021, they began designing and planning their new 38-acre Texas Hill Country vineyard. They started planting their estate vineyard in 2022 and have now expanded to 9 acres of vines including Albariño, Petite Sirah, Montepulciano, Syrah, and Aglianico. Since opening to the public in summer of 2023, they've maintained a steadfast commitment to producing 100% Texas wines. When you enter the tasting room, you will immediately notice the impressive Texas granite structure adorned with a symbol that reflects the Ross family's core values: Faith, Family, Friends, and Fellowship. The two-story, eco-friendly tasting facility is semi-circular and built into the hillside - reminiscent of a piazza in Italy. It has an upscale vibe, high-end design, and comfort in mind lending to its artistic flair. Facing east, the tasting room stays cooler both inside and out, enhancing the experience. Another notable feature are the large tables made from repurposed old pecan trees found on the property. Well known Texas winemaker Tim Drake has been helping in the crafting of some very fine wine here. Most focus has been primarily on Italian style wines which reflects the owner's wine travels. Most grapes are sourced from the High Plains vineyard estate with some future Hill Country estate wines to come. First to sample was the '23 Sauvignon Blanc which is sourced from the High Plains estate vineyard. Citrus & melons will be the first notes to light up your wine palate followed by zesty acidity. The second white wine sampled was the '23 Bisaccia. This Italian style blend, named after Michael's grandfather's Italian town, was crafted with 57% Trebbiano, 39% Albariño, and 4% Pinot Grigio. It is dry with dried apricot notes and minerality. An extra white wine treat was the Windswept. This Rhone style blend (yes, departure from the Italian theme, but that's ok) is a blend of 52% Viognier and 48% Roussanne. It is a lovely lighter Rhone style wine with buttery notes, a tango between apricot and pear, and a hint of minerality. Moving to the Rosé wines, the first to sample was the '24 Sangiovese Rosé. It had a pink colored hue with notes of watermelon and strawberry coupled with good acids. It also had more of a Provence style feel to it for an added pleasant. The next Rosé wine sipped was the '24 Vega. It is Malbec based with some raspberry notes and a nice soft and refreshing feel. Moving into the reds, the first to sample was the '23 Grenache. It was aged in Russian oak (yes, for real), exhibited a deep brick rusty color, lots of good fruit forwardness and a touch of smoke. Next, was the '22 Piazza Rossa. This super Tuscan style wine has 67% Sangiovese, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 11% Merlot. To say it has a big nose is an understatement, but you will also be impressed by its deep dark color, and notes of fig. Plus, the finish is to die for! Saving the best for last red to sip, was the '22 Envisage. This right bank Bordeaux style wine (yes, not exactly Italian, but still great) was carefully crafted with 46% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 16% Malbec. It has nice rich dark fruit, some baking spices, good tannins and acidity, and a smooth finish. Overall, it was a very fine and enjoyable tasting session with everything being spot on. When dreams are realized, magic happens. You can see this not only in the quality wines produced, but the tasting room design, décor, and cool vibes. There is a food truck on site that will whip up some good eats to pair with your wine. You will experience great hospitality here as well. The team is very professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to help ensure you have the tasting experience you desire. You will feel well cared for and comfortable here and will want to return. Cheers! read more

My wife and I spent the evening in Boerne and made a trip to Fredericksburg to get our wine shipment from another vineyard. We decided to try something new this time around. We were kind of concerned as it is in the opposite direction of all the other places. Upon arrival we were greeted by the host in the outside foyer and taken to our table ( they take reservations but we did not have one). We were sat and promptly greeted by our server. She explained the options for tasting to us and informed us that there was a food truck onsite as well. We opted to do the red wine tasting . The tasting started with a Grenache ( full bodied, very fruity but not sweet) the grapes really shine, next was the Sangiovese which was even better. We went through a series of 5 wines that all were made with exceptional care as none were left to waste. My favorite was the 1 Sangiovese, 2 Grenache, 3 Tempranillo. We also purchased a pizza from the food truck onsite. It was a margarita pizza ( large enough for two to share as a medium snack). If your hungry you made need more. They have more than pizza as well. We bought a bottle of Sangiovese and will definitely return. Excellent live performer and extraordinary service !! read more

I was in the area picking up a wine shipment from another establishment and when planning my next stop I was lead to Michael Ros. With the Valentine's holiday it looked a little busy but the hostess got us seated right away. Laurie conducted our tasting and we was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. We did the red tasting. All of the wines were delicious. My favorite was the Grenache. Followed by the Sangiovese which was a strong second. It paired excellently with the pizza. read more

Ron welcomed us at the door and created an exceptional tasting experience. We were lucky enough to visit with the winemaker, Tim, and enjoy his insights on several grape varietals. Will definitely be back! read more

Michael Ros Winery - '23 Sauv Blanc was my fav - Wineries Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

If you want a quiet, intimate wine-tasting experience, this is your place. We were paired with Laurie, and she was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable about the wines. She did an amazing job explaining each one, and we were actually able to ask questions, learn about what we were drinking, and really appreciate the experience. Not only are you getting a personal and intimate tasting here, but the wine itself is top-tier. I've been to many wineries, and this honestly has to be some of the best wine I've tried. We enjoyed it so much that we ended up signing up for a membership for 12 bottles quarterly, which should tell you how impressed we were! I'll definitely be coming back every time I'm in the area. The only thing I would change is the food setup. I wish the charcuterie boards and other food could be ordered and served inside rather than having to go outside to the food truck. Having everything brought to the table would make an already great experience feel even more complete. Other than that, I definitely recommend this winery, especially if you're looking for a more personal wine-tasting experience where the focus is actually on learning about and enjoying great wine. read more

Absolutely loved our visit. The wine was excellent and the tasting room is beautiful. Our server was very knowledgeable and entertaining.

We came out based on a family member's suggestion. The winery is very clean and modern. Having grown up in California, I prefer California red wines. We did the wine tasting, and I chose the reds. There were some which I would normally not drink, but the wine expert explained each sampling and I was mildly surprised at how good each pour was. My favorite was the 2020 Tempranillo. The only negative was the lack of customer service from the pizza trailer. That was taken care of through a different review. Bonus shout out to how clean the bathroom was! read more

THE BIG: Beautiful tasting room resembling an urban playground. Built right into the hill in a semi circle format with plenty of indoor and outdoor (even a 2nd floor patio) seating. Private parking lot available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here with the wife on a low-key Sunday afternoon and man, this is a beautiful space. Bathrooms are outside of the main tasting room space. We got the mixed tasting that included 2 whites (picpoul, viognier), 1 rose (sangiovese), and 2 reds (tempranillo, malbec). I wasn't too impressed with the reds but the whites and especially the picpoul was great. Nice nose and I as wanting more. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall the damage done for a wine tasting (white or mixed) is $30. Excited to come back later and see what their new winemaker does with their fruit. read more

Everyone there was so nice and the wine was super tasty! I really loved the sparkling Malbec (I think is what it was)

Beautiful space. I love how they incorporated the shape of the natural terrain into the design of their building. Beautiful hand crafted wood tables. Earthy but modern vibes in the tasting room decor. They've only been open two weeks and I have to say I was really impressed. They're a little off the beaten path of 290, but it's worth the five minute detour. They have a limited wine selection which is understandable since they just opened but what they did have available was very approachable with a soft finish. I actually appreciate wineries that are selective and limited in their options. It tells me they are trying to focus on quality and not quantity. I highly recommend checking them out! If you like live music their outdoor space is set up two stories amphitheater style - once the weather cools down to under 1000° degrees it'll be a lovely spot to enjoy a glass of wine. read more

Absolutely gorgeous new tasting room near Fredericksburg. Building has an upper patio level with outdoor tables for nice weather. Inside tasting room, on the lower level, features tables hand-crafted from pecan trees that were felled during maintenance of a neglected orchard. Decor is immaculate, including sitting areas that look like they belong in a designer furniture showroom. Knowledgeable and friendly service. There's a food truck outside - or you can order from your table. Their vision is to make wine using only grapes from their own vineyards. They've planted acres of grapes around the property that aren't yet producing fruit. Their winemaking future looks bright, but I wasn't wild about the current offerings. Viogner tasted a bit flat and lacked brightness and crispness. Rosé was straw-colored and also somewhat dull. Reds, probably their best wines, are solid but not spectacular. But that's just me - pop in and try for yourself! Tastings are $30. read more

My husband and I visited there last Thursday. Loved this winery! The wine was do good, but best of all the service was fantastic! The winery has beautiful views. I have already recommended it to my friends' read more

A winery to watch! This was our second time here - actually joined the club this time so we can keep an eye on this winery. The wines are impressive and I suspect they will only get better with time. They had a food truck on site doing pizza - which was an unexpected perk. We had a lovely tasting guide Dianne who was very knowledgeable about the wines and the winery. Watch that if you buy bottles along with your tasting there is a tipping suggestion that includes the bottles you are buying. read more

Very pleasant wine tasting. Should be added to your list if you're looking for a boutique family Vineyard. We have several wine clubs in the hill country and this vineyard is worth a shot. Texas grown grapes which I try to support. Great white's and very nice young reds this should be on your list to try. read more

Beautiful location! We liked Laurie! She was very sweet and knowledgeable! The reds were all great. We bought the Malbec and Sangiovese. We met Rosanne, the owner, and she was so nice! read more

Michael Ros Winery - Wineries Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

Amazing new winery! Opened 1 year ago and accepts children and infants. This was such an awesome experience compared to the prior reservation we had. Randall is so sweet, hilarious and extremely attentive. He made sure we had everything we needed and provided recommendations for other wineries that allow children/infants. Their hospitality and accommodations were appreciated by our party and we 100% recommend going to Michael Ros read more

What an absolutely fabulous new Texas winery! The grounds and facility are beautiful and picturesque. The owner personally made all of the pecan tables himself from fallen trees on the property. I like it that the location is just a short minute from the hectic 290 corridor so there's no road noise. The staff is very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable and clearly enjoy sharing their passion for wine. BUT most importantly, I have to say the wines are amazing! My personal faves are the Tempranillo and the roussane. They're outstanding! This is a must visit if you like great wine and a great atmosphere. read more

A great winery! We loved the wine, the ambiance inside, and their story! Our last visit was on a Thursday night, and we were excited to see they were open later and had great entertainment! read more
