Wineries in Fredericksburg, Texas
Fredericksburg is the heart of Texas wine country. Tasting rooms cluster along US-290 between town and Johnson City — the stretch locals call Wine Road 290 — with more in Stonewall, tiny Hye, and right downtown on Main Street.
This guide is organized by area so you can build a route, not a ranking. Everyone worth knowing is here, described by what they're actually known for. When you're ready to turn it into a real plan, Fritz will map a day around your taste, your group, and who's driving.
