The famous Texas Hill Country is the 2nd most popular wine destination in the U.S. Fredericksburg proudly boasts the highest concentration of wineries in the state. With a majority of the wineries located on U.S. Highway 290, also known as Wine Road 290, this is any wine lover’s dream. The wineries in Fredericksburg are famous for non-traditional blends and their selection of international wines.

Not sure where to start? Don’t worry, we’ve had our fair share of Fredericksburg wines. Hilmy Cellars is an excellent choice because of their attention to detail by exclusively hand-picking all of their grapes. Looking for the perfect Insta-worthy pic? Fan favorites like Grape Creek Vineyards, Augusta Vin Winery and Signor Vineyards make for the perfect backdrop.

The Fredericksburg Food & Wine Festival is the annual event that showcases everything the Hill Country has to offer. There is also a wide variety of luxury and casual dining to try while you’re taking a breather from your wine tour. We highly recommend staying at some of the charming bed and breakfasts in Fredericksburg. A weekend spent on Wine Road 290 is one you won’t soon forget!
