With more than 50 wineries and tasting rooms sprinkled throughout the Texas Hill Country, it’s not just about quantity—this region delivers serious quality, hospitality, and flavor. 

Whether you’re a Cabernet connoisseur or a fan of sparkling whites, there’s no shortage of exceptional spots to sip your way through the countryside. Below are seven of our favorite wineries that offer both character and craftsmanship—each worthy of a spot on your itinerary.

1. Grape Creek Vineyards



Location: 10587 E US Highway 290
Distance from downtown: ~15 minutes

Step into old-world elegance at Grape Creek Vineyards, where you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to an estate in the hills of Europe. The experience here is designed for those who appreciate attention to detail, from the meticulously manicured grounds to the guided tastings led by masterful staff.

Their wine portfolio leans heavily into classic Italian, with popular varietals like Bellissimo (a Super Tuscan-style red) and a crisp Pinot Grigio that’s perfect for a warm Hill Country day. Upgrade to the private tasting or tour the working production facility for a behind-the-scenes look at their 100% Texas wine operation.

2. Becker Vineyards

Location: 464 Becker Farms Rd, Stonewall
Distance from downtown: ~15 minutes

As one of the pioneers in the Fredericksburg wine scene, Becker Vineyards offers a well-rounded experience that balances refinement with rustic Hill Country beauty. The main tasting room, built from native limestone, sits alongside lavender fields (which bloom in spring and early summer), and the wine list runs deep with award-winning selections.

Becker is known for its Viognier and Reserve Malbec, and they’ve long championed Texas-grown grapes. It’s a great stop for those who enjoy guided tastings, weekend events, and picking up a bottle—or three—for later.

3. Signor Vineyards



Location: 362 Livesay Ln
Distance from downtown: ~5 minutes

This winery combines Hill Country landscape with Napa Valley sophistication. Signor Vineyards is a family-owned estate producing small-batch wines in a setting designed with understated luxury. The tasting garden, shaded by mature oak trees, offers table service and a peaceful spot to enjoy a curated flight.

Their Tempranillo and Sauvignon Blanc are frequent crowd-pleasers, and the on-site Farmhouse Market features artisan goods, gifts, and snacks. Make a reservation if you’re visiting on the weekend—this place fills up fast, and for good reason.

4. Lost Draw Cellars

Location: 113 E Park St

Located just a few blocks from Main Street, Lost Draw Cellars brings a boutique touch to Fredericksburg’s wine lineup. This family-run winery focuses on 100% Texas-grown grapes, many from their own vineyards in the High Plains.

The tasting room has an easy-going energy, but the wines are serious business. Try the Mourvèdre for something bold and spicy, or the Picpoul Blanc for a refreshing, citrusy punch. Their commitment to sustainability and transparency in winemaking adds a real sense of quality to the experience.

5. William Chris Vineyards

Location: 10352 US-290, Hye
