Grape Creek Winery

We are members of Grape Creek. It is a solid, universally appealing vineyard. They just got a larger space in downtown Fredericksburg — great place to have a glass or tasting. A/​c is on full blast, so bring a sweater. Staff was pretty helpful/​friendly. No food.
We also like to go out to the vineyard. It has a nice patio, usually with live music. They do have food at the vineyard. We’ve tried most of their pizzas and have been very happy with them.
Not the cheapest wine, but it’s a good excuse to get out of the city. Mostly dry wines (our preference) but a few sweet options. Bellisimo is one of my faves. The Cab Syrah is good too.

The wine was really good and I ended up buying a bottle so they do have delicious wine. I do feel like I was discriminated against because I look young. Everyone at the tasting bar got a long spiel about the wine and what to pair it with and the awards etc, but I was asked which wine I wanted, it got poured and it was on to someone else who got the long winded story about their wine choice. It was blatantly obvious I didn’t have the same experience. 5 stars for the wine, 2 stars for the service.

What can I say? We love this place! We’re members and fans of their excellent wines and the beautiful vineyard! Can’t wait to get back!

Love love love this place! We stopped by several wineries while visiting Fredericksburg and I have to say Grape Creek is my favorite. We did the wine testing and my favorite was the Grand Rouge. We also became wine club members so I highly recommend this place. The staff was also friendly and very helpful!

Love this place and now they have a bigger tasting room on Main. Grape Creek Winery on Main in Fredericksburg has moved to a new location; 223 Main; just a little west of their old location. Very nice.

This is a great wine tasting room, with well educated employees. We had a great chat with the gentleman poring out wine about how the wine compares to what we were use to in California. Wine tasting can only happen at the bar, but it’s good conversation. There is lots of wine to choose from, so there is something for everyone. This was one of our favorite wine tasting rooms on Main St.
There is a small patio outside, that seemed to be dog friendly. There are also tables inside you can sit and enjoy a bottle of their wine. They have a great shopping area inside with olive oil tasting.

Grape Creek’s location on Main Street is really cute. We wanted to taste at a table in the back, but wine tasting can only occur at the bar. We actually ended up having a lot of fun. Our dapper server wearing a yellow bow tie kept us entertained while pouring wonderful wines. It’s $ 15 for 6 tastes plus you get to keep the tasting glass. I tried the viognier, the riesling, muscat canelli, rendezvous, cabernet trois, and the mosaic. The riesling was quite tart and the muscat wasn’t what I expected. The rendezvous was easy to drink and makes the perfect table red. My favorite had to be the mosaic. It makes my lips pucker and probably rivals some of the big reds of napa. The tasting room itself is really pretty with merchandise for purchase and the old ice freezers of the original business.

+ The guy working at the window of the restaurant was super nice and friendly.
+ The food was delicious and came out quickly
— Bought a round of wine tasting with 3 other friends and the lady at the bar we chose to go to ended up not being friendly or helpful whatsoever
— She did not offer any information on the wine that we had chosen. She was more than happy to assist other people who were above the age of 40 –but I suppose she did not care to offer any to us young women who were very excited to try their wine
— Do not grab any of the pallet cleansers – ”THEY AREN’T SNACKS’ … we simply took one and said they tasted delicious.
–The ladies at the front ringing in wine tastings were not very friendly either.
Next time we go to Fredricksburg – we will skip this winery.

I like this place! It’s got one of the best views, and the wine is great. However, they need to cool it on the sales pitch. The majority of our private tour was spent trying to get us to join the wine club vs. teaching us about the wines. It’s like a vacation timeshare speech!

Let me begin by saying the wine was very good. However, the way we were treated was not. We were on the annual Wild Flowers and Wine tour. After stamping our passport we were ushered to a covered folding table and handed a new list of wines with big black X’s drawn through half of the selection. We were only given 4 tastings. All the other wineries treated us the same as their other guests. Disappointing that such a pretty winery with good wine will not make our list to tour next time.

I’ll start by saying we were treated like sh*t.
Pros:
— The food was great. The guy working at the food counter was super nice.
Cons:
— We bought wine tastings and the women who checked us out were incredibly rude. Rolled their eyes at us several times.
— We then went to the bar where my friend says «Oh those little pallet cleansers are really good.» And MAUREEN says «THOSE AREN’T SNACKS!» … Umm okay?
— Maureen then proceeded to pour our wine with zero description. «Here’s the Cabernet.» «Here’s the Syrah.» Thanks, Maureen. Thanks for the educational wine tasting.
We left thanking Maureen for nothing and went to Fat Ass Winery where we had a good time and were treated with respect. Will never spend my money here again.

If you are looking to escape reality and be transported to having wine on the patio in Italy this is the place to go. The setting at the winery is beautiful and after having tastes of the wonderful array of wines it’s a must to have a glass on the patio and enjoy the friendly atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and a tour is a must which was a very eye opening experience in the world of wine.

Our last of the four vineyards we visited via Majesty Wine Tours.
This was the most elegant of the four. Outdoor patio seating area to sit and chill. Wine tasting is separated from the crowd and solely for wine tasting. Purchasing is in the next building. Very organized for a bunch of winos. ;)
The tasting was great! Our party of 7 each got to choose 6 wines and didn’t have to be the same. They have a menu and the option for the wine club which saves you money if you’re a big wine drinker. Look at their website fmi as I’m sure they have it there.
Beautiful place. I think this is the oldest winery or vineyard in Fredericksburg.
We got to keep our wine glasses as well!!!

This tasting room is my favorite in Fredericksburg! It was $ 15 for 6 wines and you get to keep the glass. Not only are all of the wines amazing but the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about their wines. The person helping us was Mary and I highly recommend doing the tasting with her as she was super friendly and seemed excited to work there and tell us about the wines. The Cabernet-​Trois was my favorite and their wine club is free.

Super crowded when we were there in the middle of the week. Surprising. Nice grounds. I’m from the California wine country; Sonoma County… so I am hard to impress in terms of wine. Mosaic was tasty.

Love this winery! I have been to several wineries in Fredericksburg and this was my all time favorite!
The grounds are beautiful and easily accommodated the group of girls I was with when I was there. We signed up for a tour and we had sometime before it left so we each got a glass of wine and sat outside at some of the tables under the trees.
The tour itself was really nice and we drove on a nice cart that sat about 12 people through the grounds a little over to the actual tour area. The facility was so nice! My favorite part og the tour was the tasting of the same red wine from two different barrels. One french oak and the other american oak. I am not much of a wine connoisseur and was actually able to taste a difference!
Lastly, the gift shop was really nice and I bought a couple bottles of wine to take home. We had a great time and would love to visit again.

First on our winery tour and gave the others a high bar to meet. Our guide was friendly, patient and knowledgeably answered all of our questions. It is a fine line to break down complicated information to adults while not making them feel dumb. Good for couples, a group of friends I would take my mom. (posted late, we went in Aug 2015.

Very nice people! Red wine, love! Nice little shop to stop for some wine! We went to the place where they make the wine and it’s really nice! Nice people and good wine, they also have food!

The bellisimo is a beauty of a wine. So smooth and delicious. My heart practically soared with the toasted oak and vanilla hints. Now where’s my Italian meal to pair it with?! That is all.

First, some people seem to be a bit confused… THIS Unilocal business post is for the storefront and tasting room located ON Main Street in F*Burg — NOT the actual «winery» located off of 290. That listing is «Grape Creek VINEYARD.»
The tasting room is one of the best on Main Street. No matter how busy they are, they’re always eager to pour tastings or by the glass, explain the wines, and otherwise just engage in friendly chatting. Love it!
And, Grape Greek offers superior wines to many of the other F*Burg wineries. So much so that my husband and I cancelled 2 other wine clubs after completing a tasting here and signed up for Grape Creek. Great reds and whites — far better than what would be expected for Texas wines. They’ve come a long way in the past 5 years or so!
Oh, and if you happen to live in the Austin area, there is a Grape Creek winery and tasting room in Georgetown. As a member, you can pick up your wines there and avoid shipping charges. In addition, they also have member «parties» from time to time in the upstairs member lounge. Very convenient and super nice staff there as well!
