This is our flagship tour which takes you to 5 of the best wineries and tasting rooms in the Hill Country. Beginning in Fredericksburg with a 10:30am (11:30 on Sundays) pick-up at your lodging or the Convention and Visitors Bureau, we continue our tour and visit five of the following wineries:

We will stop for lunch during the tour at a local restaurant.

Our last stop may be at one of the wineries which offer live music for your enjoyment. Please note that music may not be available depending on the winery schedule.

The length of time we spend at each of the above wineries is governed by your desires but in Texas Wine Tours experience, 45 minutes to one hour is the norm.

We return to Fredericksburg between 5:00pm and 6:00pm and drop you off where we picked you up.

Pick-up points outside of Fredericksburg can be arranged but will incur additional fees. Please call to arrange these pick-up points.

Your guide has telephone numbers for several fine restaurants in Fredericksburg and will be happy to make recommendations and assist you with reservations. As these establishments fill up rather quickly, let us know your needs early in the tour so we can try to make you a reservation.

Your lunch and basic wine tasting fees are included in the price of $139.00 per person plus applicable taxes.

Short Tour

Price: $89.00 per person plus tax

If you are visiting Fredericksburg and all day is too long for your taste, we also offer a ‘short tour’ which visits 3 wineries or tasting rooms.

The ‘short tour’ starts at 1:30 pm and lasts 3 hours. Complementary tastings are included on this tour but lunch is not.

Pick-up point for the ‘short tour’ is at the Fredericksburg Convention and Visitor’s Bureau located at 302 East Austin Street. The tour boards from the bus ramp and will return to the same location. There is ample parking for your vehicle behind the Convention and Visitor’s Bureau.

Group Tours

We get requests to visit wineries other than the ones listed above and we are happy to work with you to design a custom tour to fit your needs. If you are interested in a custom tour, please remember that we require the group to be at least 8 persons and a two week minimum advance notice is needed. Rates are determined by the route you select and the place you wish to be picked up at. A non-refundable deposit of $200.00 is required at the time of reservation for a custom tour. The individual cancellation policy does not apply.

Wine and Art Tour

Price: $2199.00 all inclusive

Gather a group of friends or colleagues for a class reunion, a reward for work well done, entertainment in the middle of the week when things are less congested.  Whatever your reason for “togethering”, consider a combination of touring the wineries and visiting some of our outstanding art venues.  Your excursion will be made in a luxurious limo bus with plenty of legroom, headroom, and comfortable seating while you appreciate some of the best that the Hill Country has to offer.

This package includes the basic fees for wine tastings at the wineries and lunch at one of the Hill Country’s fine restaurants.  It also includes the stipends and gratuities for your guides to the wineries and galleries.  This tour can accommodate up to 14 patrons.

Reservations need to be made at least 2 weeks prior to the date of the tour.  A $200.00 non-refundable deposit is required.  This deposit will be applied to the cost of the entire trip.  Contact us by email tour@www.texas-wine-tours.com or call (830) 997-TOUR to coordinate this tour.
