Fiesta Winery Fredericksburg

People here are very nice but I was more interested in the other offerings than the wine. The tasting is rather expensive and most of the wines are super sweet. Ok experience, definitely better wineries around

Most non pretentious winery around. Sweet wines and the sweet ones are excellent. These are not classic wines.
The two dudes working were relaxed and were generous with the pours. They were good enough to make our group of 8 to buy at least 15 bottles.

The best thing here is the charming kitchen items for sale, SKIP THE TASTING. First of all, I’m fairly certain they are flavoring their wines. With what? No idea what but I’ve never tasted naturally occurring coconut notes that taste like Malibu rum. Most of them are sweet, so they just taste like a weird kids’ juice box. Of those that weren’t sweet and stuck to one varietal, they were so amateur that I wanted to spit them out. I will confess, I have a great deal of experience in the wine industry but I am not a wine snob by any measure. I believe a well executed $ 10 wine is more valuable than a poorly crafted $ 100 wine. These were among the worst I’ve ever tasted. While clearly well meant, the winemakers are doing far too much, and not doing enough well. On top of all that, the gentleman pouring that day couldn’t answer any of our questions about the wines. Not where the grapes were from, the approach, philosophy, or process. Call me crazy but that should be the whole job of the person pouring in a tasting room… to know the wines in and out so that the person tasting gets just as excited as, presumably, the vintner is. Do yourself a favor and skip this spot on your wine tour of this quaint little town.

I came here on a Saturday to do some wine tasting and this was the very first stop. When I thought 5 wine tastings for $ 10 not too bad! I thought it seemed reasonable. So when I came up to the bar the young girl gave us a menu to wines that were available to try. The list ranged from sweet white wines to dry red wines. You circle the wines you want and then show them your picks. They pour a small amount in your cup which you get to take home! I tried mostly white sweet wines. My favorite has to be the Savannah Rose which is named after the owners daughter. It is a sparkling wine with hints of strawberry. Sweet and not bitter. I would say overall the wine is decent I wouldn’t say it’s the best wine I’ve tasted but for the experience it’s pretty neat. In the back is Savy E boutique and they sell women’s clothing very hip and trendy. The customer experience has been very good they’re very friendly, it wasn’t a bad experience at all. I would give this place another try because of its wine tasting price.

If you like sweet wines this is the place to visit. The wine room and the shopping boutique in the back are so welcoming and bright. We did 5 tastings for $ 10 with a stemless glass to take home and ended up buying 3 bottles that we will enjoy this spring lounging around outside. The service was excellent and our bartender made us feel at home. Will be returning our next trip to Fredericksburg! Oh and with a purchase of three bottles of wine the tasting fee is waived!

Nice little place with a good selection of wine. They had a valentines special going on, 2 glasses for $ 10 so we tried that. Overall everything is fairly priced and the staff is friendly. Wish there were more places to sit inside (the bar stools that are shown in the pictures were no where to be found other than a few pushed off to the corner).

This place was alright, nothing really great about it but it was cute inside and something fun to try. My friend and I each did a tasting and between us we picked all different wines– so we got to try 10 types. Out of the 10, maybe 2 that we really, really liked… a few that were ok, and the rest honestly were just disappointing. I wouldn’t waste your time with the dessert wines unless you are really into that. You get to keep the glass when you do a tasting so that was a nice little souvenir, but otherwise, I’m sure there are better places.

Fiesta Tasting was $ 10 for 5 wines of your choice plus the glass. The wine was decent but not the best. The staff was friendly but didn’t really focus on the customer experience. For the price its worth stopping by downtown but there are better tasting rooms in the areas.

Thanks for nothing! And for turning our tour group away! I won’t be back to visit a rude and unaccommodating staff. Zero stars if I could!

friendly staff. nice selection of wines (sweet, red etc) and the price for tasting wasn’t a lot. we sat next to a nice couple so that helped us enjoy ourselves. they also had a store in the back for neat clothes.

I LOVE FIESTA!!! GREAT STAFF, GREAT WINE!!!
I’ve been to several of their locations and have always been happy. Got a glass there and a few bottles to go :)

Great wine here too, a lot more choices, more sweeter wines. The wife’s birthday and she loved it! Good place to be

We arrived on a busy Saturday and received as nice as an experience as we could ask for under the circumstances. But we were shoulder to shoulder and elbow to elbow packed in at the rail. The three bartenders (?) were doing everything they could to just keep glasses full. Friendly but rushed.
During our visited the late afternoon crowd was loud and spirited with many a wine «expert» rattling off every term they could think of. A couple tour buses dropped off dozens more to a separate room.
We may be back but not for a tasting. A quiet glass on the patio listening to the live music would be a much better experience for us.

Unique, comfortable & one-​of-​a-​kind clothing, tops, pants & shoes AND it has a wine tasting bar that is perfect with some of the best wines in Fredericksburg. I will definitely be coming back!

Texas Well Water wine very refreshing on warm summer day. Nice garden to enjoy your wine and live music.

This winery has hands down the worst wine I’ve had in Texas, topped off by the some of the rudest service I have ever experienced. Our wine server called my friend stupid and was generally surly. He offered no explanation of our wines, and rushed us through our tasting (we decided the «Fiestarita» had hints of Lemon Pledge and wine cooler). I hope the folks at Fiesta get their act together.

Great customer service, greeted us as soon as we walked in the door. We sampled 5 wines each– I tried the sweet whites (Skinny dippin & Texas well water) and a sweet red blend (Savannah rose). They were so delicious and refreshing I decided to buy 7 bottles of wines I tried and joined the wine club that offers a 20% discount and 3 bottles every quarter for $ 50!

The Traveling Winers on Texas Wine Trail
What a friendly atmosphere at this tasting-​room-​only in downtown Fredericksburg! When we first walked in, we were a bit concerned. We haven’t really enjoyed tasting-​room-​only experiences so much in the past, and that is why we purposely put this winery on our tour so that we could «give her another try». We understand that there is a business marketing goal with tasting-​room-​only locations, and that is to bring the wine to the masses. Financially, this makes complete sense for a business, especially if the true winery is way out in the middle of nowhere. The challenge is, at least from the VT «winers» point of view, to make the tasting-​room-​only experience have the same romantic «feel» as the home-​based vineyard & winery. We can honestly say that Fiesta Winery has accomplished this goal!
We were informed by KK, the tasting room manager and our personal hostess, that the philosophy of Fiesta Winery is to be able to relax, kick back, and enjoy life with old and new friends. Hence, the stools at the bar and the tall bar-​like tables with tall stools lining the walls. The place was pretty packed when we arrived and there was no place to sit down or even grab a spot standing at the bar. On first take, this was a bit disappointing because we weren’t sure how we were going to be able to taste. None of the other patrons looked like they were anywhere near ready to leave! And we noticed this because many of them were drinking a full-​sized pour of wine… hmmmmm…very strange in a tasting room. Thanks to KK, we found out patience, waited until there was space at the bar, took our places and began to learn.
From the outset we learned of their philosophy (and the fact that you can purchase a full glass of wine) which then explained why folks were simply hanging out and having a good time. It is definitely a place to do exactly that! What a cool philosophy, and we are impressed with the owners, and KK, for sticking to their guns (haha…perfect for Texas!) and their beliefs in taking it easy! So… this winery is definitely worth a visit in our opinion. And if you want to continue the adventure with Fiesta Winery, take the time to drive to their flagship vineyards and winery in Lometa, Texas. We did and really fell in love with the place (read the blog!) Happy Trails!
The Traveling Winers at The Vineyard Trail

Quint little wooden building. Gals inside couldn’t have been more friendly.
Wine tasting is $ 10 for 5 pours and includes a cute stemless FWF wine glass. Also, live music every Saturday from 2−5pm.
All of their wines are inherently on the sweet side. I was told it is a direct intention of the husband and wife owners. I have to be honest and say they weren’t my favorite. Perhaps they are more suited for people who are just starting to drink wine.
On a side note, Chocolat in Fredericksburg makes special wine filled, sugar coated candies specially for FWF. Sounds a bit strange, but they are amazing! The chocolates pair perfectly with the wineries sweet wines. They can only be purchased at the winery, so be sure to buy a box for yourself and maybe one for a gift… just try not to eat both before you have a chance to give one away. :)
Wine=3 stars. 1 extra star for the fantastic service (some of the best out of all the wineries), live music, chocolates, and all around laid back atmosphere!

I’ll be honest. I had to come here just because of the name. I drive a Fiesta so trying Fiesta wine and buying Fiesta wine became a goal of mine.
Their tasting room is along Main Street and the back space of the establishment is shared with a cute little book store. The first time we walked into the tasting room, it was packed! The bar area complete with stools and smaller tables in the back were all taken. We decided to come back a little bit later to see if we could squeeze in and get some tastings. Our effort proved to not be without success. When we came back there was plenty of space. There were 2 ladies behind the bar helping everyone. I felt that the service was less than adequate. We made it known we wanted to do the 5 wine tastings for $ 10. Our server immediately got on the phone to call someone. The other girl with her hipster glasses was not very willing to help us.
With our $ 10 wine tasting, we received a stemless wine glass and 5 very tiny pours of the wines we chose. The whites I chose were very tasty, but I did not like any of the reds that I tried. While they were not bad, they mostly tasted like a beginner’s wine, somewhat wine cooler like. They tasted juicy and like grape juice to put it plainly. Our tasting was not personal, though the place was nearly empty and felt very bland and rushed. And since we had just come from a very different experience, I can’t really give better than an A-​OK rating.
The prices on their wines are very reasonable unlike others. However, the wines are very low in alcohol content. I purchased the «Skinny Dippin» sweet white wine, which is only 10% alcohol. Meaning, I could probably drink the entire bottle and not get a buzz.
Side note: I think that Fiesta’s wines are more for the people who can’t handle drinking real wine. Its worth a try if you’re not a snobby wine drinker and don’t really like wine since it all tastes like juice. But like I said, I drive a Ford Fiesta, so naturally I was drawn to some Fiesta wine.
