Unfortunately, the wines did not all match my palate. I did enjoy the Cabernet and Tannat. Just not enough other wines to take the membership plunge. The drive up views of the vineyard were Awesome, you just need to be a member to get the upper level Full Vineyard view???? We were lucky enough to get Clubhouse accommodations due to it being a Monday. Thank goodness we did not come on the weekend. Megan, thank you for an Awesome experience!! Hope to see you again soon!

First time into Untamed Winery and it was a great experience!…read more I had the red flight tasting. We were hungry so we ordered the Burrata and the South African Pizza. Oh my. No wonder it's what they're known for. The wines were delicious too. We will definitely be back! You need to go!

Once you selected a flight, they brouht that full flight to you at once. No getting up to order or waiting around. This is the way to do it! Their pizzas were absolutely delicious as well! Honestly, they were better than the wine in my opinion. They had indoor and outdoor seating, and stunning flowers in bloom on the walk up to the door which made for a great photo op.

We had…read morecome to Fredericksburg knowing me had to sample wine- and this was one of the must try venues. What stood out immediately was how helpful and friendly the staff were. They helped to schedule us and our tasting and answered all our questions. The actual cave was also stunning. Going to the lower levels of the area where an immense elevated area had been set up with huge dining tables, was an experience in itself. Our wine expert was not only friendly, but also knowledgeable and personable. Her suggestions were amazing and we all ended up with the flavors we liked. The quality of the wine served is top tier. The sparkling white wines being my favorites. The history of the winery related to mental health advocacy is also impressive and the mental health names of the wines draw attention to this topic. A great time!

We did order some apps and they were fine enough. Nothing noteworthy, but did help level out all the wine we were drinking. The wine selection was good.

I swirled, sniffed, and sipped like I had opinions and by the second round, I definitely did…read more TL;DR: Inventions Vineyard hit the mark: perfect weather, chilled whites, and generous pours. The Muscat Canelli sang, the Blanc de Blancs popped, and the Ebullience sparkled. We came for one round, stayed for two, and left with full hearts and empty glasses. We spent Sunday afternoon at Inventions Vineyard, the kind of place where wine club members are treated like royalty with patio privileges. My wife (our household's official wine whisperer) and my mother-in-law joined me for the tasting, and the lineup didn't miss. I started with the Muscat Canelli, which was floral, fresh, and ready for its own slow-motion montage. My wife's Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay brought elegant structure and citrus sass, while the Ebullience blend in my mother-in-law's glass could've headlined a jazz club. The cheese plate came stacked like a savory topographic map; crackers, cured meats, sweet and tart fruits, pickled veg, and cheeses that didn't ask for attention but got it anyway. And yes, we added the Signature Meatballs, which were saucy, savory, and appropriately flanked by garlic breadsticks. Everything paired like it was planned by sommeliers with charcuterie PhDs. We went back for a second round of wine because... Sunday. A flawless afternoon of great wine, even better company, and a view that made time irrelevant.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and I came here after one of our pickup parties to check out a new winery. This place is gorgeous and the owners put alot of effort into the vibe of the winery. Invention is under the Heath Family Brands wineries that include Grape Creek, Heath Sparkling, K Estate, and Jenblossom Cellars. We got one of their classic tastings that include 4 pours in which we got to choose. We got 1 white, 1 rose and 2 reds. The white and rose were alright, the tempranillo was the best tasting, however the wines here were just ok. THE FINAL BAMBOO: A tasting was around $30 for the classic. The sparkling wine tour looks fun and that's something I'd come back to see

Every single employee at this…read morewinery took the time to come talk to us while we were here, and everyone was super knowledgeable and passionate about the wine and the kalasi story. And they have a lot to brag about! Kalasi is 100% estate grown, 100% Texas fruit, organic, woman led. The wines are really great and they offer some unique offerings (including teroldego). Customer service here was unlike any other winery experience I've ever had. Only thing keeping this from 5 stars for me is I think the inside seating and decor could be improved. I would love to see more bright colors/fabrics to go along with the theme.

I have been to Fredericksburg quite a few times and I don't know why this winery had never been on…read moremy list previously! I have been to some other ones from the Heath brand. My sister is a member and had many good things to say about them, so we had to try it out! We did a small family trip and this was one of my favorite wineries that we visited. First of all the vineyard is so beautiful and the patio area outside. We had a fun time taking lots of pictures and videos of ourselves! We originally had a reservation for the inside, but since it was such a beautiful day we asked if we could sit outside on the patio and luckily they had a big table available for our group. We ordered a couple of Caesar salads and pizzas for the table. We got the Stout's special and the Texas pepperoni with jalapenos. Everything was really yummy! A few of us did the Classic wine tasting and we also ordered a bottle of Absolution. Overall the wines were really good and we had an amazing time. I would totally come back on my next trip to Fredericksburg!

DO NOT LET GRAPE CREEK TAINT YOUR OPINION OF FREDERICKSBURG WINERIES!!!…read more This place is more of an "amusement park" than a winery, they produce a great vision of what a winery shouldn't be like. In the beginning they produced some "OK" wines and provided a nice "winery setting", but it seems as if someone from Disney World took over and it's a laugh among serious wine people. From the moment you enter the property you get a hard sell to join their club. If you're not a "club member" you're treated like a third-class citizen. Can't enjoy the nicer patios, can eat at the restaurant (but that's OK, it's a rip off with below average food for the area), and get snubbed at every turn. They have questionable on the grounds. Had horrible experience a few years ago and never went back. There's a good reason for Yelpers only give this place a 2.9 Rating. Learn from fellow Yelpers, before you waste your time. There are dozens of wineries that APPRECIATE your patronage and welcome you to their properties, AND they have much better wine than Grape Creek.

He picked us up from our Airbnb and drove us 45 mins out and back, while we blasted some rachet songs to sing haha. He would check in on us during the winery to see if we needed anything or have any questions, and he would offer to help us take multiple pictures. He also got one of the wineries to allow us to explore their cellars! On our last day in Austin, he drove by our airbnb to pick up someone else and honked at us as we waited for our uber. We were all so happy to see him again, as we all enjoyed our experience with him. I recommend Texas Tipsy Tours with Arlen ;)
