Fredericksburg Wine Road 290: Visit Fredericksburg
We have all heard that the saying that everything is bigger in Texas. And when it comes to Texas wine, there’s nothing bigger than the Texas Hill Country wine industry.
It’s been named one of the top ten wine destinations by USA Today and a lot of people are calling it the “new Napa.”
One of the great things about the Texas wineries is that a lot of them are located near Fredericksburg. There are dozens of wineries within a short drive. And one of the best ways to see it is to take Fredericksburg Wine Road 290.
Fredericksburg Wine Road 290 is a collection of about a dozen plus wineries that are located in close proximity to Highway 290. And what makes it great is that you can just drive and tour and taste, or you can take one of the many wine shuttles or wine limos that are available- and that way you can sip and savor and you don’t have to worry about being behind the wheel.
One of the great things about the participating wineries along Fredericksburg Wine Road 290 is that they offer special events throughout the year- like grape stomps during harvest season or special wine pairings featuring local chefs.
In addition to Fredericksburg Wine Road 290, there are literally dozens of wineries located within an hour’s drive of Fredericksburg
For more information on all the great activities, the wineries, and all there is to do along Fredericksburg Wine Road 290, go to visitfredericksburgtx.com.
Come on out to the Texas Hill Country- sip, savor, and enjoy the award winning wines along Fredericksburg Wine Road 290.
The ‘Hottest’ Wine Trail in Texas is Off Hwy 290!
Goodtaste.tv
There’s no way around it: the way we taste our Texas wines has changed. We’re now America’s No. 5 wine-producing state! If you haven’t heard the buzz on the Fredericksburg Wine Road 290 as of late, it’s time to hit the trail. This serene stretch of road along US Highway 290 near Fredericksburg, Texas is being compared to the Napa of 30 years ago–a higher level of development, growth and quality. Up for an adventure (and some best wine in the state)? This is where it’s happening! The thirteen Texas wineries found along this route specialize in home-grown hospitality, with newcomers to the neighborhood like Messina Hof adding to 290’s already esteemed reputation with 3 Top of Class Winners at the 2014 San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo. We’re getting ahead of ourselves, however. The first stop on our Goodtaste tour of 290 landed us at 4.0 Cellars.
4.0’s impressive facility is a good starting point. They’re tasting room is a lively spot with plenty of foot traffic. Here you’ll taste award-winning Texas wines from three different producers: Brennan Vineyards, Lost Oak Winery, and McPherson Cellars. Talk about saving some time on travel (and gas!). They also do a fun ‘Texas Cheese & Wine Experience’ – Texas cheeses from Veldhuizen Cheese Company paired with five wines selected from 4.0 Cellars.
Up the road, maybe 200 yards, is the aforementioned Messina Hof Winery & Resort. One of the pioneers of Texas wines, standouts include their Cabernet Franc Private Reserve as well as their crisp, clear and pleasantly sweet Angel Riesling.
Just across the highway – and a place that’s always intrigued me – is Dan Gatlin’s Inwood Estates Vineyard. Dan is a bit of a renegade and works extremely hard to elevate the status of Texas wines. A MUST, according to Dan, is that a wine needs to say ‘Texas’ on the font label or it is not a true Texas wine. Inwood is known for its Tempranillo, but also doing some really great work with Cabernet — which has immense potential largely untapped in Texas.
We made fast friends with Inwood’s on-site bistro. Be sure to stick around for something to munch on…
Wildflowers in the Texas Hill Country: Visit Fredericksburg TX
The Texas Hill Country is known for its wildflowers.
Typically you'll see our state flower—the bluebonnet—from late March through the second week of April. But Mother Nature determines the exact dates each year.
By late April, the blues fade like a favorite pair of jeans, but you'll still see color. Yellows, reds, pinks, purples and whites. Texas wildflowers bloom well into May and early June around Fredericksburg and Gillespie County.
Fall in the Texas Hill Country is our second wildflower season of the year. In September and October, it is easy to spot bright-colored blooms that come close to rivaling our spring displays. From yellow sunflowers to purple gayfeathers.
No matter what time of year you visit, a great place to see our wildflowers is right here at Wildseed Farms on Highway 290, seven miles east of Fredericksburg. Wildseed Farms is the nation's largest working wildflower farm.
Here, you can purchase wildflower seed mixes that will grow in your region of the United States—no matter where you live, along with blooming plants from the nursery and gift items from the boutique. Plus, the Biergarten makes for a great stop for a light lunch, complete with Texas wine and beer.
Other great places to see wildflowers include the Lyndon B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site in Stonewall, Enchanted Rock State Natural Area north of Fredericksburg, the Live Oak Wilderness Trail at Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park off Highway 16 South and even along our roadways.
So, come hike or drive in the cooler spring and autumn temperatures in the Texas Hill Country and enjoy our wildflowers. And don't forget your camera.

A Nice Trip to Texas Hill Country Wineries
We showed the owners of the Nice Winery in Houston around to several wineries in the Texas Hill Country. These are the Periscope videos combined into one video that we took during our road trip.
Exploring Texas Hill Country | RV Road Trip
Texas Hill country is a bucolic, rumpled terrain marked by wooded canyons cut by spring-fed rivers. It's also laced with endless miles of appealing two-lane blacktop—and, best of all, it's quirky. One minute you'll see a vista of bluebonnets and the next a sign advertising Emu Oil, Next Exit or Cowboys for Christ Silent Auction.
The Hill Country begins just north of Austin, continues south to San Antonio, and sweeps west some 200 miles (322 kilometers) before the land begins to flatten out. Follow a route linking state and U.S. secondary highways, which lead to a series of colorful towns fit for dawdling.
These attractions form a loop starting in San Antonio and taking in Bandera, Kerrville, Fredericksburg, Enchanted Rock, Johnson City, and New Braunfels, before returning to San Antonio.
From San Antonio, follow Highway 16 northwest to Bandera, which considers itself the hell-raising Cowboy Capital of the World. Here you can order a chicken-fried steak bigger than your haid and dance to live country music. But nowadays you're apt to see travelers' SUVs parked in front of Arkey Blue's Silver Dollar saloon alongside the usual beat-up pickup trucks. The Frontier Times Museum in Bandera (510 13th St.; tel. 1 830 796 3864; frontiermuseum.org) has a bewildering collection of prehistoric arrowheads, mounted animals, bells, and a shrunken human head no bigger than an orange. Duck into the gift shop, which stocks those must-have rubber tomahawks. Also in Bandera is the Old Spanish Trail Restaurant (305 Main St.; tel. 1 830 796 3836), famous for its home-cooked pot roast, catfish platter, and chicken-fried steak.
Next stop is Kerrville, which you can reach by looping around on Highway 16 or cutting straight to it on 173. Stop for a meal at Billy Gene's Restaurant (1489 Junction Hwy.; tel. 1 830 895 7377; billygenesrestaurant), known for its chicken-fried steak and its views of the Guadalupe River. Then check in at the Inn of the Hills (1001 Junction Hwy.; tel. 1 830 895 5000; innofthehills.com), with such amenities as live country music and an Olympic-size pool. Next door is a family sports center with a 16-lane bowling alley, so pack your finest bowling shirts.
Among the first non-natives to settle the area were German immigrants who'd purchased millions of acres sight unseen. Old-timers still refer to the German Hill Country, where the mother tongue was commonly spoken until the 1970s. One town that clings to its German heritage is Fredericksburg. Besides its more than 300 B&Bs, it has a Main Street lined with galleries, boutiques, bistros, and specialty shops with names like Der Küchen Laden.
Follow the oompah music to the Ausländer Biergarten (323 E. Main St.; tel. 1 830 997 7714) featuring German cuisine and an astounding selection of beers. Order a frosty mug of Paulaner Salvator and feast on kasseler rippchen—smoked pork chops—with hot German potato salad, sauerkraut, and a slice of Black Forest chocolate cake for dessert.
Fredericksburg native son Chester Nimitz served as commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet during World War II. Honoring his memory are the Admiral Nimitz Museum and the National Museum of the Pacific War (340 E. Main St.; tel. 1 830 997 4379; nimitz-museum.org), displaying over a thousand artifacts, including a Japanese midget submarine captured during the Pearl Harbor attack.
Detour 18 miles (29 kilometers) north of Fredericksburg to Enchanted Rock State Natural Area, whose centerpiece is a 425-foot (130-meter)-tall dome-shaped mountain of pink granite about a billion years old. Hike to the top, then overnight in pleasant campgrounds at the base (tel. 1 830 685 3636; tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/findadest/parks/enchanted_rock).
A few miles away in Johnson City, the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park Visitor Center (Ave. G and Ladybird Ln.; 1 830 868 7128; nps.gov/lyjo) offers a self-paced stroll past video monitors with footage of the War on Poverty, Vietnam, and other events of Johnson's life. Most surprising is a retirement photo of him with long hair, looking a little like Timothy Leary without the beads.
Cap off your drive with an inner tube trip down the Comal or Guadalupe Rivers, both of which run through New Braunfels, making it a haven for paddlers and floaters. On either stream, the warm sunshine filtering through the oaks and cypresses overhead creates a soothing strobe effect as you glide downstream. Just kick back, shift your mind into neutral, and go with the flow. That's the best way to see the Texas Hill Country.
