Fredericksburg, Texas Wine Country Getaways
Texas wine country, a historic German Main Street and Hill Country charm.
Fredericksburg has become a true wine destination in its own right. Visit Fredericksburg says the Texas Hill Country is home to nearly 100 wineries, vineyards and tasting rooms, and Fredericksburg and Gillespie County sit at the center of it all, from estate vineyards along Highway 290 to tasting rooms right in downtown Fredericksburg.
The town was settled by German immigrants, and that heritage still shows in its stone buildings, its Marktplatz and the Vereins Kirche. Historic Main Street is lined with shops, restaurants and wine tasting rooms, so you can spend a day exploring on foot. On Saturdays, the 290 Wine Shuttle runs hop-on, hop-off service between downtown and the wineries along Highway 290, and local tour companies offer half-day, full-day and private wine tours.
Fredericksburg is an easy drive from Boerne and San Antonio, which makes it perfect for a girls’ weekend, an anniversary or a relaxed couples’ getaway. I’ll help you find the right place to stay, from bed-and-breakfasts to cottages, and plan your wineries and dinners.
