What a great place to kick up your feet and relax. My husband had a glass of red and I enjoyed the sangria in the mason jar. It was a beautiful day outside, so we sat outside in the courtyard. The man, I can't remember his name, that served us was knowledgeable and friendly! We would definitely go back! read more

Very good winery tasting room! Family owned and operated, the tasting room serves up good wines from Central Texas. The entrance is a bit hidden off of Main Street, in the sense that the signage is almost invisible and the entry gate is non-descript. Let folks know where you are! Sarah was our server today, very knowledgeable and she provided a great presentation of the tasting menu. The wines were good. No whites available today, but the reds were fun. We picked up a candle and a couple of bottles. S good visit, worth your time! read more

My wife and I were in Fredericksburg for the day to pick up a shipment from another vineyard and decided to come here for a tasting as we are always looking for something new . This palace is located in the main area of Fredericksburg and not where the other wineries are. It's a quant little spot tucked of the street . It was pretty busy when we arrived. We were greeted promptly by the most friendly staff and she talked to us about the establishment and history . We sat inside at the counter and my wife opted for a sangria and I had a tasting. The sangria was delicious and very refreshing. Very sneaky too. Be careful not to over indulge on deliciousness and become too inebriated. I had a tasting that consisted of a rose and three reds. My wife tastes the rose and I did the reds. I appreciate a full bodied and smooth wine, that's not too dry. The reds here were very soft and a bit tannant for my taste. If you want sangria this is the spot though. read more

Pontotoc Vineyard Weingarten - My tasting. - Wineries Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

We only had one afternoon in Fredericksburg so we visited Pontotoc Vineyard Weingarten. The place is great! Ambiance is wonderful with a small indoor space and lots of outdoor seating. It was really hot so we opted for the chilled sangria. It did not disappoint! We also got the picnic basket, which included bread, pimento cheese, fruit, candied walnuts, olives and delicious salted caramel chocolate chip cookie and brownie. The only "negative" was the flies outside. We found out afterwards that they do have the "whirligig" device to keep flies away - so be sure to ask for that! Bartender was great! They even boxed up our left overs. Each item in an individual bag, tied with twine and put in a picnic like box. Definitely recommend! read more

The sangrias here have to be the best we have ever had. Every time we are in the area we always stop by here for the sangrias and charcuterie board. The guy I always see here is super friendly and somehow remembered us from months ago! I can't explain how much we love coming here and the overall environment is super welcoming and just very relaxing. read more

We've always enjoyed dropping in at Pontotoc Vineyard on Main St. My friends and I first "discovered" this place about 10 years ago and we've made it a point to swing by for a glass of sangria and their picnic basket whenever we venture Fredericksburg. The picnic basket consists of a sourdough bread, pimento cheese, olives, fruits, a brownie and glazed pecans. All delicious and we especially like the pimento cheese. The owner was there and offered to take our group photo which was nice of him. We sat outside because it happened to be a nice afternoon. We all really enjoy coming to this casual place to hang out with friends. read more

Incredible customer service. Family owned and ran business. I truly felt so welcomed and like family just visiting. The owner is so kind and personal. Went above and beyond. Even provided some bug spray for me. The sangria and bread and pimento and cheese was all so delicious. I sometimes like sangria and sometimes don't, but it was the best I've had. I may be back for a bottle or 2. I love that dogs are welcome. Very chill . read more

We had an amazing time at the winery today. The owner helped us get setup outside by the fire but it was too chilly so she moved us inside.

An unassuming gem of a spot. The infusion of sweet family values with the nostalgic atmosphere set the tone for your experience. The simplicity of having one perfect menu item to snack on while enjoying local made wine in a romantic setting just hits home. It's a wonderful little spot. Francis and her family put a lot of heart into this winegarden and you can feel it in every taste and touch. Her pub cheese is best in class. We loved it here and will be returning. read more

Hands down my favorite experience in Fredericksburg. Carl and Frances (owners) are such incredible hosts, and the wine is fabulous. We felt so at home here and genuinely didn't want to leave. Spent over an hour chatting like we were in their living room. MUST try the rose and Spy Rock! read more

I cannot believe I have never been to this winery and wine garden before! Its right on Main and so easy to get to but also so discrete and hidden, its easy to miss as little signage is noticeable unless you know where to look for it. Once you go inside you won't ever forget where it is or how to get there. Way awesome place to chill out and spend a sunny afternoon with a chef-designed picnic basket of goodies and some terrific Texas-grown wine. Owner-Couple Carl and Frances are spectacular people plain and simple. What a story they have and how kind are they! They have their kids involved in the business as well and they do great jobs as well. The hospitality we got from these two and the direct small talk they took the time to give us was priceless. The wine-tasting flight of 4 wines was thumbs up all around. Not one we disliked. Even the Tempranillo sangria frozen drink my wife got was very good! Not too sweet at all, very refreshing and tasty. The artisan sourdough bread with pimento cheese we got was also very good and I suggest anyone get this with their wine tasting. The wine garden is unique only to this place as no one else really has anything like this in the downtown Main St. area. It sits next to the oldest standing building in the town also, built in 1846! Wife and I plan to come back here every time we go to FRED from now on. read more

We loved our time at Pontotoc Vineyard! You can't see much from the street, but once you walk in, the patio area is pretty big. We stopped here while walking through the downtown area. The patio is dog friendly and we had our pup with us. We were greeted by the owner of the vineyard and got to talk to him for a bit during our time there. He gave us a run down on the history of the vineyard, some recommendations and answered some questions for us. Definitely recommend stopping here on your wine tour of Fredericksburg! read more

Nice outside area that would be great for the couple of days it's not hot in Texas. Only serve red wines so we passed and went somewhere else. read more

One word: sangria. This place is very popular for their sangria. Very refreshing on a perfect spring day in Texas. They even have the perfect outdoor sitting that's pet friendly for it. Probably the best sangria in Fredericksburg - if you're only gonna get one thing here it's gotta be it. We also tried the Tempranillo also - good but a little on the sweeter floral side vs earthy that most snobs would expect. Good thing I'm not because I enjoyed it. They also have a picnic basket with jelly, pimento cheese and bread - very good snack for your wine. Service was really good even though there was only one person working on a Sunday afternoon. Overall, I definitely recommend this place! Would definitely be back for more sangria! read more

Dog friendly very cute winery in Fredericksburg. We met the owner who was super friendly and his wife made an amazingly tasty sangria and also had the rosé.

Very nice family owned business. read more

I discovered this place when looking for a new winery in the area. The owner was there and gave us a little bit of the history. The grapes from their wine come from the area. They don't buy them from north Texas or anywhere else. I had heard their sangria was really good. It sure was. Everyone loved it. It's the wife's recipe. I also did their wine tasting. The Tempranillo was my favorite. They do have small bites. We didn't try any, but I would have loved to try it out. I guess I must return now. Parking is street parking. read more

The BEST sangria ever! Owners are friendly & the location is great. The garden is quaint. We stop in every time we are in Fredericksburg.

We were so happy to stop by this wonderful vineyard - also called a "Heuriger" in Austria! In Austria, we have many of these special places, and I was pleasantly surprised to find the same atmosphere right here in the middle of Texas! You can sit in the incredibly cozy garden, taste their amazing wine, and enjoy delicious homemade food and snacks. The atmosphere is so unique - it's the kind of place where you want to sit for hours. Easy, delicious, and absolutely lovely - we loved it! read more

This place is amazing from the service to the food. The picnic basket was incredible, especially the cheese and the sausage. We will be back for sure. read more

I came here on the 14th with another party. We only ordered two beverages to include a Sangria and glass of vino. The service here was excellent (the owners are very hospitable). The atmosphere outside was quaint. I noticed the establishment had a small wine cellar with a table and chair set up. It reminded me of the one we had when I was a child. The nostalgia of that aspect alone made coming here a great experience for me. My guest had the Sangria which was nicely done. I had the glass of white and was not impressed with the body of the wine. In general, this was a neat little spot to stop in and enjoy the moment. #supportlocal #supportveteranowned read more

Pontotoc Vineyard Weingarten - Enchanted rock wine ! - Wineries Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

It's been a few years since I've reviewed anything, but Peggy and I are back in the land of grapes and Jesus blood, aka Fredericksburg. We met up with some friends for a weekend of gluttony with wine and formage. That's fancy speak for cheese. We stopped at the Pontotoc Vineyard. Pontotoc was a community before they had an apocalypse/typhoid breakout. Now it's a ghost town. The only ghost I believe in is the Holy Ghost™ Anyway, the ladies had their famous sangrias and I opted for a Tempranillo. I'm pretty sure it's French for Temptation. But unlike Adam and Eve, I am in control. Unfortunately, we had eaten at a farm to table restaurant earlier and I had a Rev. Hank to toilet moment. I had more bubbles in my guts than any of the sparkling wines we've had. I immediately repented to my lord and savior. They say there's no fury like a woman scorned, but those people have definitely never blended a cheeseburger, wine and whiskey. The bathroom facilities are easily accessible, but a little drafty. You'll feel the angels breathe upon you while you rid yourself of sin. I highly recommend this place! Can't wait to return. read more

This was our favorite stop in Fredericksburg. We wandered in with eleven people and were able to all sit in the cellar - Carl was so accommodating and we learned so much about the area and their vineyard/wines. We tried each wine and loved them all, and the picnic baskets are an absolute must have. read more

My favorite place in Fredericksburg! It's family owned & ran by the best couple. From the Texas hill country wine to the delicious picnic baskets, everything is 100% local! You can't go wrong with the sangria, pimento cheese or the Tempranillo! Definitely recommend read more

The owner greeted us upon arrival and gave us a brief history of the vineyard. He was so welcoming and educating and really made us feel like home and comfortable.

We also had a sangria to go that also tasted amazing. read more

Absolutely adorable and a hidden gem. I've been to Fredericksburg dozens of times and probably drove by without seeing the sign. The outdoor seating is great and you don't really realize you're off of main street. I loved the Sangria and the Tempranillo. There's only a few people taking care of the tables, so the service is a little slower but they are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. It was cold the day we were there and they had a couple fires going. The pimento cheese in the picnic basket was really, really good. You can even take one of the picnic baskets to go. I highly recommend a stop here when you need a break from shopping. There are picnic tables so you're good if you have more than 4 people. read more
