Arch Ray Resort

We had such a great time at Arch Ray in Fredericksburg! From the moment we arrived, the service was amazing. Our host, Amaryllis, was incredibly attentive and friendly and made us feel welcome right away. Our server, Armando, was fantastic super knowledgeable, personable, and fun. He did a great job explaining the wines and helping us choose what to try, and he really made the experience enjoyable. The winery has a relaxed, beautiful atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. Between the great wine and even better service, Arch Ray is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommend!

​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Gem in the Hill Country: Exceptional Service and Stunning Views! ​My stay at Arch Ray Resort was nothing short of spectacular—truly a five-star experience from start to finish. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, offering a serene and luxurious escape in the heart of Texas Wine Country. The amenities, from the high-end accommodations to the on-site winery and restaurant, are world-class. ​However, what truly elevated our visit was the outstanding staff, particularly our experience with Rick the bartender. Rick provides superb service that goes above and beyond. His expertise in mixing cocktails and recommending the perfect local wine or spirit was impressive, but it was his genuine warmth, attentiveness, and friendly demeanor that made every visit to the bar a highlight of our day. He remembered our names and our preferred drinks, offering personal touches that made us feel like honored guests, not just customers. ​ ​We are already planning our return trip and will certainly be back to see Rick! Highly, highly recommended!

Desi and Conner at the bar were amazing. They knew their drinks and gave excellent service. Great conversation and recommendations. The food was great. We stayed at the rv resort and the bar/resturant where adjacent and continent. The live music Abe Mac was great. Manager Michael

Wow! We felt like VIP! From chatting with Elizabeth on the phone, to dining with Austin, and Michael giving us a tour after dinner, it was a wonderful experience! Elizabeth was so warm and welcoming on the phone. My fiancé and I are going to have our rehearsal dinner here next year. Austin, was our excellent server and gave great suggestions for food. It was all delicious - wine and food! Michael was so knowledgeable about the history of the resort and how all of their beer, wine, and spirits are made. I can’t say enough how amazing we felt and were treated like we were the only ones there. We can’t wait to go back!

Its AMAZING!!! We were told to check the place out by Fiesta Winery downtown location. Walked into AR it was beautiful and clean. The host sat us down at a perfect window seat, as we are celebrating our 5 year anniversary. His recommendations were spot on with what we were looking for. He was kind and knowledgeable on everything. Food was delish, $20 nachos? Uh YES!!! The beef was so tender and we got the hamburger sliders as well. The floor manager checking with us as we dined and sipped some of their amazing drinks and beers. We WILL BE COMING BACK. And bringing our friends with us!!! Thank you!!!

Adam was the best waiter. Lance, his son, and Mike were so helpful. I like Fiesta winery is there so I can enjoy my wine. It will be great when the add a hotel. All in one exclusive. Randy was the greatest. They really try to make you feel like one of the family.

This is a different review. This trip was made because of another resort cancelling our reservation.....More on that latter. Arch ray is very clean and a GREAT location. Though it has no amenities at all and you will hear some traffic noise. I recomend a spot towards the back. Again very clean and well kept. Now to the fun part, my Wife and I had a reservation at FireFly. Had enjoyed about 10 trips to this resort. One week before our arrival we got a cancelation. Seems that Firefly management was told to get lost by the owners board. So this is not about Firefly management. Its about the owners group. Worst part is my Wife and I had reservations for a retreat next year in April for our non profit group called Gold Star Parents. (YES that was canceled also) About 40 persons, this is not a group of salespeople looking for some fun. Its parents who have lost a service member ( child ) We have had to scamble to get something else HEARTLESS. To be very clear Fire fly is a management company and my Wife and I have always been happy with them.

We've watched this place grow from an empty field into what it is today. The rv park is quiet and well kept. The brewery/winery is very convenient and the staff is very friendly! This definitely deserves a spot on your to-visit list.

Rebecca is amazing so sweet and knowledge. The chicken salad is to die for Loaded with chicken we have come back twice in two weeks for Rebecca and the salad

Another lovely experience in the Fredericksburg area. After driving through both the Arch Ray RV Park and the Cabin based development, we stopped for lunch at the 1894 restaurant in the Arch Ray Resort. There were 6 of is on a chilly Tuesday in February. The restaurant / bar area had very few people in it, so we were seated right away. We learned that a server had called-off, so our server Brock handled the entire restaurant. He did a great job and is a hard working young man. We all ordered some draft beers made in their own on-site brewery. When the beers came, we ordered appetizers and lunch. Everything was quite tasty. I have to add that the Brussels Sprouts are among the best I've ever had. Our Wagyu - Angus burger was very good as well. So the atmosphere, service and food were all very good and I also feel the pricing was great too. We'd come back to 1894 at Arch Ray Resort.

UPDATE: I've improved my rating from 1 star to 2 because one of the owners reached out privately about my experience; I do appreciate that. If we go back to give them another chance, I'll update again. I hate to give bad reviews but this experience was so horrible that I'm hoping they learn from the feedback. This was our first stop on an organized wine tour. It included a tasting and lunch. I picked this place because I was told we could choose between a wine tasting or beer flight, but when we sat down, a waitress immediately poured us a wine sample, said nothing, and left. She was gone for quite a while so we drank the wine. She finally returned and started pouring another sample without a word. I had to stop her to ask what it was and what the first one was, and I was surprised and disappointed they never offered the beer tasting option. We had no menu to tell us anything about the drinks and she only told us the name of it after I asked the first time. No description or anything. When they brought out the food that we had pre-ordered, the dishes all came out separately so half the group sat waiting for about 15 minutes before the rest of us got our food. Also, they got one order wrong and told my colleague they hadn't started his chicken sandwich so he basically had to choose between tacos and a burger instead. The burgers looked good, but the tacos were NOT tacos like you see in the pics, they were basically two tiny (smallest tortilla you can find) quesadillas cut in quarters with a lot of tortilla chips to hide the measly lunch portion of food. What's worse is I ordered fish tacos and told them several times I had fish tacos. After eating 2-3 of the small bites, I realized my fish tacos were actually shrimp. Damn good thing I am not allergic to shellfish. I've been on many wine tours and know what to expect. This was not what I'd consider a tasting and the service was horrible. Our wine tour company made good by buying us a beer flight since that's what some of our team originally wanted, and the bartender who did that was good, but overall, I can not recommend this place and have no plans of being back.

Came with my husband, daughter and friend. Great service, delicious food, wine and bourbon! My husband and friend had the pastrami sandwich. I got to sample. Delicious and not greasy! The shoestring fries were perfect. My daughter had the burger. Also delicious! I had the salad with grilled tuna. Gosh, great selections! Will definitely come back!

As always, this is a nice and classy experience. The food is good even if you're only snacking. While I'm not a super fan of the home brewed spirits; they're good but not jaw dropping. Still, as a mixer they make a sublime old fashioned that I cannot recommend strongly enough. Tonight they had live music and we were pleased to relax with our 13 year old (who really enjoys the menu) to such a soulful guitarist. Bon Appetit!

It is a very nice new RV resort. Nice winery, good food, and good wine. It's a first-class place.

Love to visit Arch Ray for great food and wine, spirits and beer! They have it all. Riley is our favorite waitress. She is always cheerful and excellent at her job!

We came here with a group of 11 for dinner. To start our server was unknowledgeable about the menu. When our food came to us it was auctioned off as if we were at a diner. Our food was mediocre, I had the meatballs and a side of fries, the meatballs were extremely bland and were not hot. Someone also had the steak sandwich, which I tried and it was way to spicy and over seasoned she didn't even finish it. We asked for ranch for our fries and it tasted like sour cream which is odd so that was disappointing as well. While eating our food we never saw our server again and were not asked if we needed anything else through our entire stay. For someone who works in the industry, I am very patient and understanding of situation but this was an extreme disappointment for the amount we paid for our food.

Creating this yelp account just to warn everyone about this god awful place and my experience from yesterday. This restaurant is an absolute disaster. The management is completely clueless - they have no idea what they're doing and it shows in every aspect of the establishment. The food? The food was beyond abysmal - it was like someone had slapped together some random ingredients and called it a day, the taste was awfully bland. And don't even get me started on the wine! I've had better drinks from a gas station. Overall, 1/5 stars, and that's being generous.

My husband and I have been here twice now for brunch. The atmosphere is wonderful and the food is fantastic. I look forward to trying dinner next.

This is a new venture. They've only been open since July. They are getting ready to break new ground on a hotel. But they have an amphitheater with periodic shows,an RV Park, winery and distillery. We only visited the 1894 restaurant. In a small Texas town, this is fine dining. I ordered the flight of wine and brought home a bottle. After tasting several wines, I brought home a bottle of the Sangiovese.. I am usually a Chardonnay girl but the Pinot Grigio and the Sangiovese were my favorites. I ordered the red fish and ask for brussels sprouts instead of roasted vegetables. They were happy to oblige. I was happy that they did because the brussels sprouts are not to be missed! My husband had the chicken and said it was delicious! The hostess, Penny, was so friendly that I feel like I need to go back and visit her like an old friend. She said the chef worked for 13 years with Wolfgang Puck and after eating,, his/her food I believe it. We had reservations for Saturday night at 6:30. The service was spot on! Mary Ann was very accommodating and helpful. I would definitely go back to this one. After a week of eating conference food, which was not bad, and Mexican food, again, not bad at all, this was a Welcome change.

The food was amazing and the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. Our waitress was Hannah and she was a sweetheart. Would definitely come back again and enjoy some whiskey!

We just left Mother's Day brunch and were completely underwhelmed by the service. My husband loved the burger and Bloody Mary. I ordered the lemon mascarpone crepes with berries and chocolate sauce and there was no lemon or chocolate sauce. Our waitress was nowhere to be found so I went to the bartender and this is what my meal finally looked like.

WOW!! Everything about this place is spectacular. If you are looking for a place that will fit everyone's tastes then this is the stop for you. Beer-they got it & it's great---Spirits- yup, they got it too! We tried the pink pineapple bourbon margarita & it was fantastic. Wine-absolutely perfect. We also, had dinner & loved the Wagyu/Angus steaks! We learned that it is a true Texas winery & the owners go back 6 generations here in Texas. We love supporting Texas and we will definitely be back.

Beautiful place but I'm sure the Café de olla I drank was intended to be a horse parasite killer

Roasted pork chop, fantastic. I substituted the veggies and potatoes for the cream spinach.

Found this park after our normal RV park would not allow our new rescue dog because it is part Pitbull. Beth was the woman who went out of her way to speak to the manager Jody who then said YES to our rescue. We got really lucky because this park has great hiking trails, very nice sites and convenient to everything Fredericksburg. There is a restaurant within walking distance to the RV spots. We will be back! Thanks Jody and Beth!

The ambiance is nice, but will be much better once the parking lot is paved. Beautiful building. The service is good, but they don't want you to use salt. I believe the waitress had to go to the kitchen to get us a small dish of salt because it took awhile. We were finished with the appetizer before it arrived. The food is extremely slow & it seemed the waitress got upset with me when I asked where our food was. 45 minutes after we ordered, our food arrived. I suspect they want you to drink more so food is slow. I cannot drink & the don't have tea. The food was delicious. So if you drink alcohol & aren't in a hurry, definitely go.
