Cellar Rat Wine Tours

We had a fabulous experience with the Cellar Rat Wine Tours! Clint was very knowledgeable and you can tell he has a great relationship with all the vineyards we visited. Plus he was a lot of fun! He also kept us on track timing wise for all of our tastings, without ever making us feel rushed (which is hard to do in a large group). Cadye was also a big help in planning our itinerary. We really loved her recommendation of the Kuhlman Cellars. Overall we would definitely use Cellar Rat Wine Tours again!

This was our first trip to the area, and to our great good fortune, we found Cellar Rat Wine Tours when making our plans. We chose a private tour, selected four wineries with their input, and had a fabulous day. Chris was knowledgeable and informative, and was very patient and helpful with his answers to all our many questions. His background is in the industry, and he brought not only his experience with the business, but also with the personnel in the wineries we visited, which enhanced the experience. Lunch was a delightful break in the day, and we were happy to bring back a case of wine assembled from the various wineries. We’ll be back.

Just finished our wine tour with Clem! My husband and I had an amazing time! We did the 3 tour stop and it was perfect! I am so glad we booked our tour with Cellar Rat. Clem was so awesome! He was also extremely knowledgable about all the wineries and taught us a lot about Texas wineries. We will definitely be coming back for another tour. Thanks CRWT’s!!!

We had an awesome experience on our Cellar Rat Wine Tour with Clint. We put together our own itinerary, and decided to visit 4.0 Cellars, Pedernales Cellars, Hye Market for lunch, Compass Rose Cellars and the Garrison Brothers Bourbon Distillery.
His extensive wine and hill country knowledge certainly did lend themselves to a great time. You can tell he has wonderful relationships with all of the wineries and their personnel. We especially enjoyed the bonuses, like touring the actual production rooms. Overall, we felt like we had a very personalized and personable experience with Clint. He kept us laughing all day!
We’d definitely take another Cellar Rat Wine Tour and also recommend to our friends. It was my first time visiting Texas’ own wine country, and the experience was absolutely perfect.

The very best tour in Fredericksburg! Ok I haven’t used all of them but we could not have had a better time on our 5 hour trip. Clem was our tour guide and he is extremely knowledgable about the local wines and the wine making process. Willing tell you as much as you want to know! Lunch in Hye was good as well. Definitely worth the money and time!

Clint was great! Myself and two of my girlfriends came down to have a mom’s weekend. He went above and beyond. Not only fun, but very professional. Will definitely be back!

I was visiting Fredericksburg for the first time with my girlfriend and also celebrating an anniversary/​birthday. Wanting something special but unsure of what to expect, I decided to go with Cellar Rat because a) they were the first people to call me back after leaving a voicemail b) Clint made me laugh multiple times when we talked on the phone and c) he offered me a bunch of different options and answered all of my random questions.
After deciding to go for a 2-​person private wine tour, Clem picked us up at our B&B on Sunday morning. From the beginning, he was so friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He started off by giving us some background on his experience and then explained our itinerary for the day.
Every single winery we visited was absolutely amazing. And it wasn’t just a «drop off and shuttle in» service. The first stop included a walk through some of the vines, and him explaining how the grapes are grown/​harvested. I think the best part was knowing that as soon as we walked into a place, Clem handled everything — getting us setup with the tasting, even adding some additional feedback about the wines.
We also had a personalized visit through multiple production rooms to see how the wine was made. We even got to taste some of the grapes!
This was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Thank you so much to Clem for making our trip so incredible. I can’t wait to be back!

Had a great time tasting at three wineries with my friends visiting from out of state. They like wine, but had never been to a winery/​tasting. When I booked Clint recommended 3 wineries that had a good combination of wine varieties, comfy tasting rooms, and Hill Country views. Clem was our tour guide, and was both a pleasure to spend time with and very knowledgeable about wine making at most Hill Country wineries. The tour went along at a leisurely pace that gave us all time to appreciate what each winery had to offer. He included a tour of one of the production facilities also. And the van was very comfortable. We did the recommended lunch at Hye Market, and it was a big hit. Food was freshly prepared and very tasty. Friends had a great time that they will talk about for a long time. This will be my go-​to tour when friends come to visit, for sure.

We had an amazing experience. Julian was extremely knowledgeable and is a true wine industry «insider.» He took extra care to ensure we had a wonderful time. The vehicle was a relatively new black SUV which was comfortable. He even left the vehicle running while we were inside the wineries to keep the wine we purchased (and the tourists) comfortable. We will be going back for sure!

Clint is the best. We booked a three stop tour and had the best time. Clint is so knowledgable about the all aspects of wine from the hill country. Seemed he has done most jobs in the industry. We really enjoyed all the stops he picked out for us. Being fast drinkers we had a bit of extra time and Clint offered to take us to the bourbon distillery in town. It was a major treat. My favorite stop of all. And once again Clint pull thru with unreal knowledge. Last thing if u book with Clint ask him about his culinary expertise with mustard and Tabasco. No doubt we will book another trip with Clint in the very near future.

My mother booked Cellar Rat Wine Tours for a mother-​daughter type weekend, and we had a great experience! Clem was a great guide and clearly knew what he was talking about, having been on the production side of the wine industry for years (and other alcohol industries for even longer). We did four stops, one of which was a bourbon distillery, so that was interesting and different. You could tell Clem had a very personal relationship with the employees at every stop, which just made it a much better experience overall. It’d be fun to plan a weekend in Fredericksburg with some friends, and if we do, I’d love to do this again.

Wow, that was awesome! Look no further than Cellar Rat Tours for your Texas Wine Experience. Clint definitely delivers on a fun, informative, and unique adventure. The dude has knowledge on all levels. He was fast to pick us up, and even went the extra mile to drop us off at another winery past our time. We can’t wait to come back next year…“Better Call Clint!”

Clint was wonderful! Great service, knowledgeable about the locations and the history behind them. He put up with 7 ladies on a bachelorette party with ease.

Clint made touring wineries very fun with his unique insight. My wife and I had a ton of fun, it was a great experience for couples looking to have some fun in Fredericksburg. I would recommend to anyone and everyone looking to have a good time touring, tasting wine, and learning a thing about wine.

Recently had a great experience with 8 of my friends. They were so accommodating and showed us a wonderful time. We will definitely be coming back.

My wife and I had a great time touring several wineries with Clint. We left it up to him to pick the wineries and he did not disappoint! We went to three different places and all were fantastic. Clint accompanied us to each one and was able to answer a lot of questions we had since he has a lot of experience working at different wineries.
We highly recommend Clint if you’re looking for someone with knowledge and a great personality to accompany you on wine tours.

This tour is very personal & a special experience. Clint works hard to make sure that we had a memorable trip. I look forward to a return visit to the beautiful Texas hill country & learning more about the wines grown there.

Excellent service, highly recommend! Clint was great, the tour was awesome. We will be back soon.

What a great way to experience Texas Hill Country wine! This was my first time in Fredericksburg and Clint did a great job of selecting wineries that matched our tastes perfectly. As a bonus, he gave us an exclusive tour of one of the wineries we visited. His van was comfortable and roomy, and he even left it running during our stops so that our wine that we purchased didn’t get too warm.
Wineries visited — Pontotoc vineyard (tasting room only), William Chris Winery, and Lewis Winery. Then we ended at Hye Market where we got to taste some locally made foods, moonshine, and bourbon. All in all, an excellent way to spend a Saturday.

My girlfriends and I were coming to Fredericksburg for a girls trip and contacted Clint to take us on a wine tour — thankfully he was available because we had the time of our lives! Clint is very well connected with the hill country wine industry and because of that we were treated really well at each stop and got to see a few behind the scenes places. He also takes care of carrying everything for you, etc which just makes for a nice, carefree day! The best reason to hide him is that you can have a fun, interesting day without doing any planning whatsoever. Clint has an outgoing, funny personality which makes him a great guide. The next time I come back to Hill Country, I’ll definitely be contacting him!
