In this article some of the wineries of Fredricksburg Texas are featured.  This is a short article that briefly mentions some of the wineries.  The wines of Texas are not really all that well known outside of Texas.  This is a good article that can give you some idea of the wineries in this area.  Fredricksburg Texas is about 70 miles west of Austin, and about 65 miles northwest of San Antonio.

One of the things attracting people to the Texas Hill Country is the budding wine industry. The area around Fredericksburg, Texas has quickly established itself as a competitor to other wine areas throughout the US, such as Napa Valley, California.

Woodrose Winery is in the little town of Stonewall, a quick 10 minute drive from Fredericksburg. This is a relatively new winery, opening in 2001, but since then has doubled its wine production and added a new 3000 square foot expansion area.

A few more miles down Highway 290, is Torre di Pietra. This is another winery that started out fairly small but has greatly expanded their business and is planting larger and more expansive vineyards. They also offer live music on Saturday from 2 to 6.

About a mile from Torre di Pietra is a winery that has been a prominent winery in the Texas Hill Country since 1985, Grape Creek Vineyards. Several years ago, Grape Creek Vineyards was purchased by the executive of a Fortune 500 company, who added a beautiful new expansion; a combination of native Texas architecture with and touch of an Italian villa.

A couple of miles down the road is Becker Vineyards, one of the most well known wineries in Texas. Their wines have won many awards over the years, and their operation just keeps getting better and better. They also operate a small B&B, rent out an event hall, and host numerous events and festivals every year, including the very popular Lavender Festival, held every May.

Pedernales Cellars is a brand new winery already making a name for themselves. This winery has recently redone its tasting room and there is a walkway over to Rose Hill Manor, a Fredericksburg Bed Breakfast, (a quaint five minute walk), so it's a logical choice for finishing a day of wine tasting.

When you are done tasting wine for the day be sure and enjoy Fredericksburg Texas Music and nightlife.
