Augusta Vin

If you’re looking for a sophisticated tasting experience in the Hill Country, Augusta Vin is a standout. The entire atmosphere is elevated. A huge shoutout to Forbes, who was a fantastic host. Having a knowledgeable and personable guide makes all the difference in a tasting. The views of the estate vineyards from the patio are absolutely stunning. It’s the perfect backdrop for a slow afternoon. We sampled the small bites, and they did not disappoint. The food is clearly well-thought-out and pairs beautifully with the wines. Just a heads-up for pet owners—this winery is not dog-friendly, so you’ll want to leave your furry friends at home for this one.

My favorite winery in Fredericksburg. Staff was wonderful! My friend was a few minutes late to the tour; they brought her to us! Amy was very nice and knowledgeable about everything in the winery and wine making process. I will definitely recommend this tour, ask for Amy, you won’t regret it. Don’t forget to stop inside for a glass of wine, Christian gots yall. All staff goes above and beyond to make your experience a great one ☺️.

The tour was fantastic! We learned so much about how wine is processed, and the information was presented in a way that was easy to understand and engaging. Melissa was incredibly attentive, answered all of our questions thoroughly, and made the entire experience even better. She is truly one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had!

I really had a great time. Me and my sister in law came for our birthdays and we had a blast. Tour and tasting site was just perfect and fancy. I loved the experience. I'm making plans to bring my daughter for her 21 birthday. Definitely a place you shouldn't miss.

Graceyn was an amazing guide. She was very knowledgeable, sweet, and made the tour extremely enjoyable from start to finish. She explained everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and kept the experience fun and engaging the entire time. I would definitely recommend asking for Graceyn if you get the chance.

Beautiful place and not pretentious. You can sit down and sip and enjoy your wine tasting. I prefer to sit and sip vs stand and sip. Ryan did our wine tasting and he was so friendly. Gave us suggestions for dinner. All the wines were good. I really liked the Albariño and Tannat estate. But all were good. I appreciate the food pairing. My favorite was the white chocolate strawberry with Tannat. But the tenderloin and horseradish was really good. The ambiance is modern and laid back. I like wide open spaces with light. I’m coming back!

We went for a birthday celebration and had the elevated tasting experience with sommelier Sylvia. And wow, she was amazing, the tasting was both educational and enjoyable. Sylvia's expertise and passion shown through her presentation. The vineyard grounds are gorgeous. Highly recommend coming here for an elevated experience!

We sat down at the bar for a glass since we had already done a few tastings earlier in the day. Ryan at the bar was amazing! He informed us about the wines (which were all phenomenal) and even gave us recommendations on places to eat around Fredericksburg. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Augusta Vin. The ambience. The wines. The service. 10/10 would recommend! We left with a few bottles of wine if that tells you anything….

Great time at the Augusta Vin Took the the production tour including cart ride on the vine yard and unique wine testing in processing area. Our host / guide Amy was very knowledgeable and made the experience a great time I recommend checking it out!

Melissa was an incredible guide--warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about wine. Even though I work at a wine bar, I learned so much today! She walked us through the entire winemaking process with such detail and clarity, from the vineyard to the bottle. The tour was not only informative but also super fun and engaging. It's clear she loves what she does, and that energy made the whole experience unforgettable. If you're in Augusta and love wine (or just want to learn), don't miss this tour. You'll leave with a deeper appreciation for every glass you sip!

What could they improve? Honestly, everything. We did the full tour and tasting at $95 per person, and if someone asked me whether it was worth it, I'd probably say they should pay me to go through it again. I definitely would not pay for this experience. They poured us five wines to start, and each time we had to ask what it was. Only then would they say the name: no backstory, no varietal info, no explanation of what made it unique. Nothing. It felt more like pulling teeth than a guided tasting. Later, we ended up trying a total of about eight wines, and I usually can find at least one I like... but here, none of them were even decent. The food pairings? Five tiny, poorly made hors d'oeuvres that looked and tasted like an afterthought. For the price point, you'd expect something thoughtful--at the very least somewhat interesting. No descriptor for any of these. Even the arrival was a mess. First, they told us we were in the wrong room and shuffled us to another building. Once we got there, they told us we were too early and made us wait outside in the heat rather than letting us sit comfortably inside. It was disorganized, unwelcoming, and amateurish from the very start. On top of all that, the basics weren't even covered: the place lacked hygiene and general cleanliness. That, combined with bad wine, unprepared staff, and a lackluster experience, made it an easy call. Hard pass. I would never come again!

Amazing service from our sommelier Sylvia !! Very knowledgeable and friendly, this was definitely the highlight of our trip to Fredericksburg!

Went on a Friday and originally was going to sit outside but the tasting was like $40 for 5 pours but it's only $25 if you sit at the bar. After confirming there was no real difference in the wines we chose to sit at the bar. We were told you couldn't order from the food menu at the bar and the tasting would be "sped up." Seems like a money grab in my opinion which is why I'm deducting a star. Additionally the members only clubhouse and the vineyard is only accessible to the general public Mon-Thurs so don't expect stunning views like on social media. As far as the tasting we still felt the sommelier was informative and passionate about the wines. He provided lots of detail and gave recommendations when we went to buy additional glasses. He was running around in between customers but when he was with us he gave us his full attention and was thoughtful. All the wines we had were delicious and I would return to see the clubhouse if I was in the area.

Okay before I even start ask for Shay- she made our experience here amazing. It was my first winery stop ever and I am so glad I stopped by. All the samples I got were phenomenal and she was so sweet in explaining what was what and sold it for me to get a bottle of wine of my favorite the rose. I would love to come back soon! Beautiful location, amazing staff, incredible wine 10/10

During our weekend trip to Fredericksburg we had the pleasure of enjoying a production tour with Brett. He was very knowledgeable and super charismatic! He led a great tour and gave great wine recommendations! He definitely sold us on the products and we ended up going home with a few bottles! I would say Augusta Vin and a tour with Brett is a MUST when you come to visit! The winery is super cute and aesthetic! Definitely picture perfect for group, couple, or solo pictures!

What a fun evening! Christian gave us the best service for our wine tasting and cheeseboard. The patio was magical and we both enjoyed the wine selections. Would 10/10 recommend.

Another great experience at Augusta Vin Winery. We were here in February while camping in the area with friends. My wife and I popped by Augusta to have a glass of wine. The day we were here in February, the Tasting Room was closed, so we were able to go to the Member's Club. Today, we're in the Tasting Room for the first time and it's nice as well. Our server, Chuck was very nice and quite personable. My wife and I shared a Pastrami Sandwich with Kettle Chips. Then we shared a slice of the Limoncello Ricotta Cheesecake. All very Tasty! We each had a glass of their Merlot, same as we had in February as it's our favorite red wine from Augusta. We look forward to our next visit to Augusta Vin Winery.

Beautiful setting, great service--but bring earplugs for the tasting room Augusta Vin was near the top of my Fredericksburg wine list, mostly for their wine styles--and the property didn't disappoint. The tasting room and grounds are beautiful, stylish, and spotless. It's clearly a popular spot. The lot was nearly full despite plenty of parking, and several wine tour groups were making stops. The private tasting room looked lively, too, even though we weren't members. This place was hopping. We were warmly greeted and took seats at the wine bar for a tasting. Our server was fantastic--friendly, knowledgeable, and helped us tailor a flight of reds to match our preferences, along with a few palate-cleansing snacks. Now, the big downside: the noise. The tasting room's acoustics are rough--hard surfaces everywhere make it feel like a wine echo chamber. We could barely hear each other or our server, which took away from an otherwise great experience. We didn't end up purchasing any bottles, as I didn't find any to be a strong value, though the tasting itself was priced fairly. Bottom line: it's worth visiting for the ambiance and service, but aim for a quieter time of day or week if you want to fully enjoy the experience. And maybe don't expect to leave with a full case.

We loved this place so much we came back for a winery tour. It is an absolutely beautiful drive in, rows and rows of grapevines and the members only clubhouse is just gorgeous! Sylvia was an amazing sommelier and made the price of the tour well worth it. The bites were delicious with the wine, meatballs, charcuterie and especially the pimento cheese stuffed sweet red peppers. And the wine is divine! (We joined the wine club, too!)

Amy was amazing! Very knowledgable and kind. We loved the wine variety! The taste room is beautiful. We then went on a tour, that was so fun!

Amy was fantastic and knowledgeable. Made for a very enjoyable wine tasting experience. Thank you.

Fantastic bottle of Merlot! ($43) Also, an enjoyable selection of tastings ($40 per, either a mixed tasting or reds only). Ample space, inside and out, with designated areas for member-only. Very elegant and modern design, clearly new. Happy 5 years! While Augusta is another one of Wine Country's venues that don't allow outside food, there is quite the variety of food choices, including charcuterie, sandwiches and sweets. (Ranging from $10-$75). Similar to other venues, the prices do seem inflated (and unreasonable) and I do wish we could just bring our own snacks and enjoy the vineyard's wine. While I'm sure it's not often necessary, we do think that a few patio heaters could be beneficial for guests or, at the least, a functioning fire in the fire place on colder days (especially during the holidays). Pro Tip: Pack a few blankets to enjoy your choice of wine on the colder days.

Had a great time with the sommelier Sylvia !! Great views, great good, and great wines.

The wait staff is so slow. It took 35 minutes to get our wine a food. I also saw The owner/manager be rude to a customer. He must have been in a horrible mood. I saw him yelling at a lady on Saturday.

Megan did an amazing job! She was very knowledgeable and helpfu. I would definitely come back here again!

The wine was delicious and Amy was the best tour guide you could ask for! We loved the pairings that you get with the Grand Tour and highly recommend it.

The Good: The wine. Really enjoyed their Merlot and everyone else enjoyed their vintages. Our server, Auggie was friendly and knowledgeable and saved the day (from the horrible hostesses) The Not So Good: The tasting room was large but empty as well as a the porch. It was a Saturday so we were a little surprised (but pleased) we could find a nice table. The Ugly: Really what this review is about. The two 20-something hostesses had an attitude like we were interrupting their day from the word go. There were 7 of us in the party, none of us was rude or rowdy when we asked for a table (and we clearly had a lot of disposable income) but were greeted with distain. I'm not sure if it's a lack of training or just "kids these days" but their behavior was so poor that I didn't buy the bottle of wine I enjoyed and my friend and I may never join their wine club - which is a shame.

We've been members at Augusta Vin for a few years now and enjoy every time we visit. Today we had Forbes as our host and he was lovely and informative.

One of my favorite wineries in Fredericksburg. The grounds are beautiful and the staff was nice. I ordered their Rosé and enjoyed it.

*IF YOU'RE READING THIS & ARE CURRENTLY AT AUGUSTA VIN WITH A SERVER NAMED ADAM - JUST GET UP AND LEAVE NOW.* Now, for everyone else reading this review, please settle-in for the unfortunate tale of how Adam, a server for Augusta Vin, single-handedly ruined the bachelorette festivities of a dear friend of mine this past Saturday. (Don't worry though because the story has a happy ending - the amazing team at the female-run Barelle Vineyards redeemed the day for us) For added context - There were 6 women in my party. Of those 6, only the bride-to-be had ever visited Augusta Vin. Of the wineries on our agenda that day, Augusta Vin was her one personally requested stop. For everyone else, this was our first, and I'm pretty positive, last time visiting. We arrived shortly after 1 pm and entered the main public building for non-members. We arrived at a busy time for the winery, as there was a short line at the door just to be seated. However, as our table did not want to do a guided tasting, the two friendly hostesses at the front were able to immediately seat us on the back patio. Upon being sat, we were almost immediately greeted by a female server with bottled waters that she dropped off at the table. Quick clarifying note here - she did not ASK if we wanted the waters - she literally said "Here are some waters for you guys." She also brought more bottles than our group needed. We did not realize until we received the check that there is a $1 charge for each bottle. So just an FYI for when you're visiting. After this female server dropped off the bottled waters, we were not acknowledged for about 20 minutes-to the point we were literally starting to think that if you sat on the patio you had to go inside and order from the bar. A member of our party was on the way to the bar in fact when our server, the infamous Adam, finally made his introduction. The first words out of Adam's mouth in his greeting to us was that the team was short staffed & had run out of basically all food except charcuterie. This was fine, because we already knew we just wanted bottles. We informed Adam we definitely wanted a bottle of the Albariño but were stuck between two Rosés and wanted to sample each in order to make a decision. With this update, Adam wasn't seen again for about another 10-15 minutes. When he did arrive again, he had the bottle we ordered and the 2 Rosés to try. Once we settled on the Rosé, Adam poured 4 out of the 6 of us a glass of the Albariño (which WAS delicous btw) - the bride specifically opted out and told him she would wait for the Rose. He said he would be "right back" with a bucket of ice for the Albariño and with the bottle of Rosé. That "right back" turned into 31 minutes. At around the 25 minute mark, we flagged down a passing hostesses to ask her for our check. By this point we'd been there for over an hour with 2 in our party (most importantly the bride to be herself) having no wine to drink and the rest of us drinking warm Albariño since Adam never showed back up with an ice bucket. It was about 5 minutes after we flagged the hostess down to ask for our check that Adam finally showed back up like no time had passed, ready to yank the cork out of the Rosé. A member of our party politely, but firmly, stated we were no longer interested in the Rosé at this point and simply wanted the check for the one bottle as we had an Uber on the way with an ETA of 10 minutes. Adam said Ok and turned heel & in typical Adam fashion was not seen again. As our Uber was arriving, we left the patio & began walking up front to 1) flag the Uber down to let them know where our group was & 2) attempt to pay at the hostess stand. While our group was walking across the indoor dining area towards the front/hostess area, Adam spotted us while he waiting on a table seated indoors. He proceeded to yell across the room at us like we were a bunch of wine thieves, "You need to check out with me for that Albariño." I informed him we'd be waiting, per usual for him, at the front. During the checkout process with my friend who was paying he had a very condescending attitude and attempted to charge us for the Rosé at first! He even made a comment about knowing he wasn't getting a tip. I recognize the vineyard was busy this day. It was a beautiful September Saturday after all. I'm sure Adam was probably working more tables than he should have. However, we watched EVERY SINGLE TABLE around us on the patio, including another bachelorette party that had 15 attendees, receive consistent service throughout the hour & a half we were there. We couldn't even get the bottle we ordered or an ice bucket. *Apparently you're also supposed to receive complimentary chocolate cake when you're there, which we saw everyone around us receive but obviously we did not* This put a huge damper on the bachelorette festivities, but fortunately Fredericksburg is full of other amazing vineyards (like Barelle) even if Augusta Vin isn't one.

Sylvia was the best!!! So much knowledge about the wine and the tastings and she made the experience 10x better! Will visit her again 100%.

We visited this winery while visiting Fredericksburg. The setting is beautiful. They have a smaller tasting room for non-members and a gorgeous large building for members. We were fortunate to be there during the week when it slow and the smaller tasting room was closed so we were able to visit the members only area. It was absolutely stunning. The building, the staff, the views and the wine were all great. We had a lovely afternoon visiting the winery.

The grounds were just beautiful and well cared for. The wine tasting was a great experience. The food pairings were amazing and our wine host, Chuck, was great! We'll be back for sure.

Love every visit to Augusta Vin, and today was perfect! We enjoyed a bottle of Chardonnay and a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc! Honestly, I loved both! The Chardonnay had hits of apple and buttercream and was so refreshing. The Sauvignon Blanc tasted like sweet peaches and sweet apricots! We also tasted the Trbbiano because our server Shay likes to get her customers to get outside of their comfort zone and I loved it. It was sweet and citrusy all in one. We also had the roast beef wrap and the turkey sandwich. The siracha mason on the wrap was delicious and I loved the turkey with the garlic aioli. We are now leaving with two bottles a Nectar Rose and the Riesling. Can't wait to try both! The winery is beautiful with vineyards of course but the landscaping brags of beautiful Texas hearty plans like roses, Pride of Barbados, and yucca amoung many other gorgeous plants and blooms. Inside is amazing with shiplap and stone and exposed beams! I love this place and will continue to come back!

Forbes was a fantastic server. Wonderful atmosphere, food and wine! Love the quiet and beautiful gardens surrounding the winery.

A wonderful experience! This vineyard was on a beautiful estate with grape vines as far as you could see! The actual experience at the winery was less "special" compared to other wineries we visited. It was quite loud and we were informed that you could not do a tasting outside on the patio, only indoors at the bar. The bottle we ordered was good, but it didn't seem as if the staff knew as much about wine as the other vineyards and wineries that we visited on this trip. We did order sandwiches at this location , opting for the ham, bacon and cheese. It came with kettle chips on the side and was served on crispy sourdough. The jam was sweet snd there was a generous amount of ham in the sandwich. Overall the vineyard was nice and the wine was good. I will definitely give them another chance and be back, but not my "favorite" spot of the day :)

Sylvia was amazing! 10/10 would come back again just to see her. She was so attentive and described each wine perfectly with amazing knowledge.

One of the more popular wineries in the area. They have a busy tasting room but we were able to get a seat and do a standard tasting. The service was excellent we really had a good time trying new local wines and learning about the area. I never had Texas wine before this was a good way to try and learn about the region.

If you're visiting the winery and have the chance to meet Forbes, consider yourself lucky. From the moment we arrived, Forbes went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. His knowledge of the wines, the region, and the winemaking process was impressive--but what really stood out was his passion and genuine hospitality. Great service great server ! Highly recommend coming and supporting local busines

The atmosphere of this location is amazing. We took a wine tour to see how everything is produced had wine tastings and few bites that paired great. Melissa was our tour guide and she was amazing. Afterwards we came back and got a glass of wine a wine they have a breathtaking garden where monarch butterflies are all over it was so beautiful. Amy was absolutely great on recommendations to my pallet She also gave us knowledge on the butterflies. In awe with everything just sitting outside and having a conversation was amazing. Will definitely be coming back

Weekend can be packed but weekdays I had a relaxing time . I love coming here and of course wines are delicious. Our server was very nice.

Dissatisfied, Discriminated and Disappointed!!! Excited to visit the winery with our friends. We were able to pick up our membership wine and have our friends enjoy the beautiful vineyard. When we got there, ourwait staff were having an obvious disagreement. We were sat and our male friends went to the smoking area to enjoy the wine and cigars. The wait staff approached us and one waiter took our order and another came up to us and rudely said that the orders placed with the other waitress were not happening. We fave the man our order. As members we are able to bring friends with us. The manager(woman) approached us and asked where the men were. My wife explained that the men were smoking and she said well we need to know where they're at. My wife asked if there was a problem. She said no we just needed to know where they were. My wife went in to pick up our membership wine. During that time she asked to speak with the manager. The manager was asked to talkeuth her. At that time he picked up a phone call and ignored my wife. She was patient. When he finally approached her she was explaining her experience. The manger then told her that they didn't do anything wrong. He told her if people like her didn't like it she could leave. People like her? Sweet, educated, professional andHispanic!! What!! People like her!! My wife looked at him and simply said cancel my membership. He laughed. This manager was so unprofessional and instead of making things better he made them worse. Never again. They won't get our money or my recommendation. Don't go!!

Gus was incredible! We enjoyed our time at Augusta Vin because of his great service :) We will be back!

Amy gave us an awesome wine tour!!! We enjoyed it so much! If you haven't been on this tour you need to!

By far, the best wine tasting in Fredericksburg ! Silva was an amazing Somm! She told her journey and did an amazing job pairing the wines ! I can't wait to come back! Best birthday ever . Beautiful winery as well! Great vibes.

Gorgeous winery, delicious wine and great service! The chocolate truffles were amazing! Too bad we went when the tasting room was closed (monday) but were still able to do a tasting in the clubhouse. The winery is truly so beautiful, we had a great time!

We love Darien!!!!!!!! Great time for our besties bachelorette xoxoxo love it here Fredericksburg is amazing

It was such a nice winery. Very light and airy. We did the mixed tasting. The wines were really good. David was very nice, informative, and attentive.

Shay is amazing. We did a wine tasting and pairing with her. She was very knowledgeable and introduced us to some new wines. I can't wait to return!

This winery was high on our list when passing through for a bachelorette party! The outdoor aesthetic is so cute and exactly what I pictured for Fredericksburg wineries. Our group of 11 was able to stay together and come in as a walk-in. We ordered a charcuterie, which we absolutely demolished because it was so good! I loved the variety that was offered on the board. We also ordered a few different bottles of wine and our favorite was the Rose. It was so fresh and crisp since we were outside! Indoors are reserved for members only but we were still able to find covered seating for shade. You order at the bar and then come back as it is ready. They also had a live band there as well! Overall, we enjoyed our time here, and I would definitely come back!

Shay was so wonderful-- Very knowledgeable and friendly; also accommodating of my sweeter wine preference. Beautiful vineyard!

Our favorite winery in Fredericksburg! Forbes was fantastic - look forward to being back soon!

From CA. Thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon with Kayla. Not only was she informative and low pressure on the sales, she was just as sweet as could be. Couldn't hv asked for a better employee! And the charcuterie platter was on freaking believable! The cheeses and meats were off the chart. This is our second time visiting Augusta Vin in the last 2 yrs. Shipping some bottles home!

We had an amazing time at Augusta! We came to celebrate our friend's birthday and Chuck came through with a great experience!

Great experience !! Beautiful building, the flight and pairing options were great. Chuck did a fantastic job. Well worth the stop!

They are so nice here, and the view is next level. When the sun came into our sitting area outside, they lowered the shades for us. That was awesome. Water is only $1, which was needed and a reasonably priced, nice surprise to me.

Augusta was so beautiful and the staff was very attentive. We did the wine tasting (non-member) and our waitress Kayla was very informative and even let us customize/substitute our wines to have a better experience there was not really anywhere to take pictures at the non-member clubhouse but they were nice enough to let us take a picture at the entrance of the member clubhouse !
