You can tell the creators spent a lot of time on coming up with the rooms and that shows in the thoughtful layout.

Amazing pottery, neon sculptures, diachronic glass, mosaics, kinetic art, and furniture. I seriously could have blown the savings account in a few minutes. A wonderful array of artists at the top of their craft. Super friendly staff whether you were spending 10K or just a few dollars. We're gonna have to save a bit cutting out toothpicks, hairspray, and diet cokes but I think I might be able to go get something next visit. My posted pics of the pottery vases tell it all; simply awesome.

We did the couple's glass flower-making experience and enjoyed it very much. Paul is a master at his craft for sure. Very clear and professional in his explanation and demo of what to do and how things work for glass making and blowing. His wife Holly is also a class-act person with top-notch kindness and friendliness to us. We felt like VIP the whole 1 hour slot we had booked with them. You have the whole glass-blowing studio to yourself with Paul and her guiding you the whole way. This was a cool way for my wife and I to spend part of our 1 year anniversary together doing something brand new. I would suggest anyone come and do this for the experience and to take home a one-of-a-kind painted glass flower to keep forever. Do note that you must come back the next day to get your flower as it takes 14 hours to cool in their oven for optimal finish. They can also mail it you if need be however.

Did this as part of a team building activity. We had a lot of fun and the owners were wonderful…read more It's a 15 minute drive from downtown Fredericksburg and if you're looking for a fun activity for you and friends, family, or even solo to do while visiting I highly recommend Enchanted Rock Glass Blowing. You can schedule your visit online or call them up. They were very friendly and accommodating to make our group was able to do the activity together. We received a group tutorial then each partook in an individual, hands on glassblowing experience (from picking out the glass colors to "pulling" the glass leaves to make it a flower shape). Wonderful experience all around!

My husband and I found Arrowhead Creek a couple of summers ago while staying in the area. We've…read morebeen to Fredericksburg many times over the years - watching the number of wineries grow, and the big wineries become more commercial. Where were the smaller, family-owned wineries, with relaxing tasting rooms and personal touches that existed 10-15 years ago? Then we found Arrowhead Creek - it checked all the boxes and then some. We got a tour and family history, saw the start of the patch wall (which continues to grow), tasted some great wines, met the fantastic family and staff family, and -- relaxed. We continue to visit anytime we can get away, are always greeted like old friends, and enjoy this gem of a property on the Pedernales. We highly recommend ACV if you're looking for great wine, fun atmosphere, and supporting a family business!

Don't miss this hidden gem! Portree Cellars is less than a mile off Highway 290, and I promise the…read moreshort detour is worth it. I've visited several times now, and Portree has earned a spot on my very short list for a wine club membership. Every single visit ends the same way--I leave with at least three bottles because it's almost impossible to choose. I've yet to taste a wine here that I didn't genuinely enjoy. Seriously... every wine on the tasting menu is excellent. The food bites are also absolutely worth ordering. They're thoughtfully paired, delicious, and make the tasting experience even better. What truly sets Portree apart, though, is the hospitality. The staff is warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable without ever being pretentious. They remember us every time we visit--even where we live--which makes every tasting feel personal rather than transactional. The tasting room is beautiful, relaxed, and inviting, making it easy to linger over one more glass. In an area filled with wineries, Portree consistently stands out for its exceptional wines, genuine hospitality, and attention to detail. If you're exploring the Texas Hill Country wine trail, make Portree Cellars a priority rather than an afterthought. I can't recommend it highly enough.
