Wineries
Wineries have become a cornerstone in the consumer and visitor industry in the Hill Country over the past two decades. According to information provided by the Fredericksburg Convention and Visitor Bureau, the number of unique wineries in Gillespie County as of March 14, 2022 is 68, up in just seven years from 27 unique wineries on record in 2015. Many wineries offer tours and tastings for those looking to expand their knowledge of the winemaking process and to taste the multitude of flavors offered by each winery. Whether you’re looking for a wine from Napa Valley or Italy, or something grown with local grapes, this town has just the beverage to satisfy your desires. The majority of the wineries are located out on U.S. 290 East, but vineyards and tasting rooms can be found on many scenic roads of the Texas Hill Country. If you’re looking to stay on Main Street during a quick trip, tasting rooms from the town’s more well-known wineries and its newer locations can be found. Before visiting any local wineries, it is recommended to call or go online to receive the most up-to-date information.
