We enjoyed our frozen treats out back sitting next to the relaxing pond that had turtles and fish swimming within view. They even had fish food you can buy for $1 to feed them! Before leaving we checked out the smaller separate building where they sell fudge, chocolates, brittles, and popcorn, with a small selection of fudge samples to try. Everyone was so friendly! I'd definitely love to come back here!

We've been driving around town looking for this place and finally found it. It's not hard - it's just a little out of the main drag of tourists spot, Main St. Find Industrial Loop off 290 and you will get there. Once you get there, the choices are enormous and oh, so tasty! We got here before they opened so we had the place to ourselves. We got to taste their sampler wares and that will whet your choco appetite! We went on a buying spree! Some are gifts but most will be our treat for our taste buds! What a yummy place. As for the service, they are as nice and helpful as they can be. Wow and wow!!

This is the kind of place that reminds you why you love supporting small businesses…read more My wife and I booked the wine and chocolate pairing experience at Hill Country Chocolate in Fredericksburg, and without question, it was the best tasting experience we've ever had. From the moment we walked through the door, Dan and Melanie made us feel like welcomed guests instead of customers. We were greeted immediately and escorted upstairs to a beautiful tasting room where we spent nearly two hours enjoying an unforgettable experience. Dan is one of the most knowledgeable and passionate business owners I've ever met. He walked us through not only each DKM wine and handcrafted chocolate pairing, but also the fascinating story behind how the business came to be and the meticulous process that goes into making every product. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for his craft were evident in every minute of the experience. And the products? Absolutely phenomenal. I can honestly say every single wine and every single chocolate was outstanding. The Moscato, sparkling wines, and red wines were all incredible. The chocolate pairings elevated everything even further. The turtles, brittle, chocolate-covered raisins, chocolate-covered strawberries... every bite was memorable. It was one of those rare experiences where you keep waiting for something to be "just okay," but it never happens because everything is exceptional. The factory itself is spotless, beautifully designed, and it's amazing being able to look through the windows and watch the production area where everything is made. The retail shop is equally impressive, filled with beautifully packaged chocolates, wines, gifts, and treats. We told ourselves we weren't going to buy much... that lasted about five minutes. There was simply no way we were leaving empty-handed. What impressed me most was the precision and care that Dan and Melanie have poured into every aspect of their business. From the presentation, to the storytelling, to the products themselves, every detail has been thoughtfully crafted. It's rare to find a place where the customer service is just as exceptional as the products, but Hill Country Chocolate absolutely delivers on both. If you're visiting Fredericksburg, do not skip this experience. Whether you're a wine lover, a chocolate lover, or just appreciate passionate business owners who genuinely care about giving guests an unforgettable experience, this is a must-do. Bravo, Dan and Melanie. Thank you for an incredible afternoon. We can't wait to come back and will be recommending Hill Country Chocolate to everyone we know. 5/5 without hesitation.

We shared a few bottles of rosé and spent way longer than we planned because the atmosphere was just so inviting. The wine bar is set inside a beautifully restored historic home, with several cozy rooms that make it feel like you're relaxing in someone's stylish living room rather than a typical wine bar. It has such a warm, welcoming vibe. We loved that they also have a piano bar with live music in the evenings, it would be such a fun place to spend an evening! The owner even stopped by our table to check on us, chat for a bit, and make sure we were enjoying ourselves. That personal touch really stood out and made us feel so welcome. Whether you're looking for a wine flight, a bottle to share with friends, or just a cozy place to unwind after shopping on Main Street, I highly recommend stopping by. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Fredericksburg!

Not sure how updated their inventory is as we were looking for Mama Mango or Mama Pomegranate & the store associate looked it up but said it wasn't in stock.

I had ordered a bottle of Ube Creme Liqueur as my friend texted that it was available so I ordered online for store pickup since I was in the area. I looked at the yummy Sauternes, a lot of which were rated 91+ pts! We have about 3 bottles at home so I just took note. I looked at the other liqueurs like Pistachios, Passion Fruit and the other fruity Moscatos I'd like to try someday. They even had Kosher wines & we were reading some of the labels which had Biblical names & titled. I'm usually buying some Caliveda Pinot Noir which is one of their best sellers. I stock up during the holidays when they have bundle deals. They have such an organized store and even have a Cigar area. They hold tasting classes in the back & upcoming ones will be for wine. We missed the Tequila tasting so we'll check another location. They have great deals as rewards members so sign up!

About three minutes into a game I like to call "8,000 bottles of wine - 1 impressively inefficient cashier on duty", I decided it would be best if I try to frequent businesses who are financially solvent enough to staff two or more cashiers during peak hours.

Each week they feature a new winery, region, or producer. The staff is very nice, knowledgeable and willing to help while you shop! There's a mini parking lot next to the store or you can opt to park on the street.

There were many tours that I could've chosen to stick with but Woody was so authentic about his services and was a person of integrity when it came to what he offered. He personally picked us up from our little hotel we were staying at and drove us to all three of our tours. His tour bus was super clean and we all had a blast! He even offered to pick up some cheese and snacks at the HEB close by to have on the bus if we wanted! I really appreciated Woody taking the time to answer my numerous phone calls with questions I had as this is my first Bachelorette party I threw. I HIGHLY recommend using Woody if anyone wants to have a great time and looking for someone to trust. I will be booking with you again Woody, thank you so much for everything!

They have a big shop with a lot of gardening themed tools and items, and they sell plants as well. They have a cafeteria with tables and chairs that sells your standard fast food options, and they sell things like homemade salsa, jam, and of course bottles of wine in there too. The thing I like most about Wildseed: they have a path you can walk around that stretches between their vineyards and ends at a little fence facing the mass of wildflower fields that bloom in the spring with red, blue, and yellow wildflowers. If you go at the time it's in bloom, you'll be blessed with SUCH an incredible view, and all the little butterflies and bees zoom around while you walk the little trail/path. I think it's so lovely that it's been around/available to walk all these years. They do also have a little garden aspect at the beginning of the trail with a pond etc. that you can look at. It's mad cute. Definitely pay this spot a visit if you're passing through Fredericksburg!
