Grape Creek Vineyards

Amazing tour & taste experience! This vineyard is on the straight to consumer business model so you will be asked multiple times to join their club membership but there are many good reasons to join if you love their wine. The tour and taste gives visitors a chance to experience the wine and beautiful vineyard without committing to anything. We had a great time and ultimately did choose to try out the membership as their wines were delicious and their customer service could not have been better. On a perfect day, sitting in the patio area feels like sitting in a movie or in a painting. Definitely recommend the tour and the wine to anyone who enjoys sipping the fermented fruit juice! Heath has something for anyone at their family of vineyards!

Always such a great experience at Grape Creeks Vineyards Stout Creek and member patio. Kyle was very nice and attentive! Very knowledgeable! After eating an amazing brunch and trying different flights, we sat in the member patio. Leilani was very nice and attentive when we were there

Such a great time at Grape Creek Vineyards! Adam was great! super friendly, attentive, and knew the wine menu inside and out. The cheese plate was huge with so many tasty things to try, definitely more than enough for two. Loved sitting outside and soaking up the beautiful atmosphere with a glass in hand. Always happy to be members here! Highly recommend both Adam and Grape Creek!

We enjoyed our visit to Grape Creek so much. Definitely do the winery tour. Zanna was our tour guide and did an excellent job teaching us about the wine making process and answering our many questions regarding wine and their wine club. We ate at the members only restaurant after our tour and enjoyed their pizza and another glass of wine. Adam offered great suggestions on the wine and we got to watch him participate in a commercial shoot while we were enjoying the patio. Can’t wait to crack open one of the bottles we bought! *Update: After visiting 2 other wineries in the area, this one far outshines the others. The staff was by far the most knowledgeable about their wines, and their wines were by far our favorite!

My family and I visited Grape Creek vineyards and Ms. Eve was truly wonderful in explaining the wines thoroughly and sharing recommendations. My family and I all have different preferences and all the wines offered went above and beyond our expectations. My mom loved their sweeter selections! The vineyard is truly beautiful and all the members are very attentive. While the Patio and Dinning areas are reserved for members only, the tastings can be experienced by all. Big thanks to Mr. Adam who was very attentive to us as we enjoyed our wine in the patio after the tasting. We purchased three bottles that were truly a crowd pleaser for my people at home. I will definitely be back to experience the beautiful sceneries in the Fall.

From start to finish, this wine tour exceeded all expectations! The vineyards were stunning, the wine selections were perfectly curated, and the atmosphere was laid-back yet luxurious. But what truly made the day unforgettable were our guides—David and Dan. David brought a wealth of knowledge and charm to every stop, effortlessly weaving in stories of the region and winemaking history. Dan, on the other hand, kept the energy up with his humor, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality. The two of them make a fantastic team—professional, personable, and clearly passionate about what they do. Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or just starting to explore, this tour is an absolute must. Thanks to David and Dan, we didn’t just taste wine—we experienced it. 🍷👏 Highly recommended!

Stopped by for my birthday and promise my wine club perks. Met Westin. She’s amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable about all the wines. Such a breath of fresh air. I’ll definitely be back again!

Edits: Additionally, this late afternoon 8/3/25, Lellani gave wonderful service to us and Grape Creek. The ambiance was immaculate, like out of a southern Spanish terrace. The rich smell of rosemary surrounding the terrace only added to the experience. Alice and Chad were so kind. Alice helped direct us to some red wines that felt like they were made for us! Thank you for your warmth and hospitality.

8/15/25 50th anniversary trip to Fredericksburg. My first time and God willing it won't be my last. Had a wonderful time. Grape Creek is beautiful and they have the best sandwich I've ever had in my 69 years on this earth. The TURKEY CRANBERRY !!! Get it !!! You will not regret it. Hope you have a great time. P.S. In my great wisdom I forgot to get a picture. Trust me it's FANTASTIC !!!

Stopped by on the 290 shuttle, while the grounds are beautiful the customer service when checking in is below subpar. The lady checking us in was not very welcoming or inviting, had us pay AND THEN asked us for ID. Obviously over 21 but that in it of itself was off putting. Melanie hosted us for our tasting, and really turned the experience around, had it not been for her we would probably never consider returning. The couple next to us had a very similar experience, we all had the same sentiment about the interactions with the cashier and host who walked us to the tasting. One plus is you do get to select your tasting wines. Apparently food is only for members, we wanted this to be our lunch stop as they seem to have a wonderful menu but was informed it was a members only option. Overall - Melanie is doing the lords work for this establishment, and deserves a raise. They should clean house with the rest of the people who aren't creating a welcoming winery experience you would expect for the setting.

My favorite vineyard in Fredericksburg! No idea why it has only 3 stars. Service is always great and the wine is top notch. We are members here and don't plan on canceling it anytime soon. Very pretty vineyard with a great selection of reds, white, rose, and sparkling wine. Their charcuterie board is also tasty! Special shoutout to Kim and Westin! Definitely give them a visit!

Wine tour and tasting was great! The knowledge that we received and how everything works and how long it takes for a wine to be perfect was an eye opening and deserves much appreciation! The wine tour lady was very knowledgeable on the wine making steps and was nice enough to let us taste a few of their wines inside the storage. She was very friendly, approachable, and well liked by our group. Place is big and has numerous wine storage facilities around. After the tour, they do give you more wine tasting and want you to join their exclusive winery membership. We do not drink that much wine so we decided not to join. The older man that was giving us the wines to taste was very friendly at first but after tasting a couple of wines and not becoming a member, he became sarcastic and rude to us. That's when we knew to get out so we can enjoy the outside and take photos by the grape trees.

Extremely Disappointed by Rude and Unprofessional Staff Our experience at Grape Creek Vineyards was nothing short of shocking due to the incredibly rude behavior of multiple staff members. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with disrespect. It began with Kent, who was operating the golf cart shuttle. Instead of offering a warm welcome, he told us to "get off our high horse" -- an absolutely inappropriate and unprovoked comment that set a terrible tone. Things didn't improve from there. When we arrived at the tour, Steven, who had already started, greeted us with a passive-aggressive "nice of you to join us." When we asked a simple question about seeing the exterior of the winery, he curtly refused, saying he was on a time schedule. Inside, instead of offering any understanding or hospitality, he repeatedly asked if we were "done complaining." Finally, we spoke with Kimberli, hoping for a more empathetic response, but she was equally dismissive and unprofessional. She even said we were the ones who should be embarrassed -- which is completely absurd given the way their team treated us. Frankly, the only thing embarrassing here is the lack of basic customer service and hospitality. There are plenty of beautiful wineries in the area that offer great wine and treat guests with respect. I strongly recommend spending your time and money elsewhere. I've attached a photo of Steven at the moment he was essentially dismissing us from the experience. We were stunned -- not just at the tone, but the complete disregard for basic hospitality. Wine was meh. Tasted like juice.

We had a large group (of 8) on a busy Saturday in June. We had advanced reservations, and were seated on the patio. The sun was too hot in the area we were in, and so asked to be moved to a nearby table more in the shade - the staff were polite and accommodating and helped us shift tables. Chad S was our wine steward - he made us feel welcome and went over the menu/wine options, and answered our many questions. He was fun, and had a great sense of humor. The service, at times, seemed slow (compared to a regular restaurant experience), but a) they're extremely busy on a Saturday, and b) we're at a winery - so we were NOT in a hurry. It didnt bother us at all. Wine options were plentiful, and we got some cute pictures on the grounds.

Amazing vineyard. I have been here many times with friends and family and it was never a disappointment. Grape Creek always has one of the best services I have experienced from all the other vineyards I have gone too. We loved this place so much and their wine that my husband and I signed up as members. Members get discounts, perks when visiting as well as 4 bottles of wine every quarter. This place is so relaxing and I feel so sophisticated and attended too when we come and visit.

Stopped at several vineyards for wine testing for my daughter's birthday, but Grape Creek was one of our favorite due to Laurie who assisted us. She was very personable and knowledgeable about the different wines. She made our whole experience very enjoyable

We adored our time here. There is a lot to look at and read in here while you wait for a staff member to become available. They also give you water while you wait which was much appreciated. The tasting here was super complex and we found that there were a lot of our picks had very unique flavor profiles, which was interesting to experience. By fiance loved everything he tried, he is a moscato drinker. So to have a wine smooth enough for him to like is very impressive and I'm so glad he was able to experience a sweeter tasting and truly enjoy it. My tasting was good too!

Mi hija me dio una bella sorpresa en mi cumpleaños, reservando un tour por este víñero para vivir la experiencia y aprender un poquito de cómo se produce el vino en este lugar. El lugar es bello relajador y importador, el precio por el tour es de $45 por persona y te dan unas 3 o 4 pruebas de vino y te explican los procesos, el conductor y la persona que te explica son muy amables, ya para finalizar te dan una degustación final y tratan de venderte un paquete para que pertenezcas al club y poder consumir los vinos directamente de ese viñero ya que no tienen ningún negocio con otra compañía diferente a ellos, el señor que los tocó al final fue un poquito rudo después que le comentamos que no estábamos interesados en ser parte del club ya que no somos muy consumidores de vino y eso no me pareció agradable aunque ignoramos sus comentarios y no nos enganchamos en ellos, por lo demás el servicio de los empleados fue muy agradable

This is a beautiful winery in Fredericksburg and one of our favorites to visit. Service is impeccable and they make members feel like VIPs. On our recent visit we had reservations for their Sunday brunch (you must be a member to book their brunch). On this visit, our Comped wine was a Heath Family Blanc de Blanc bubbles. Two of us ordered the French toast brioche, with cinnamon-spiced peaches, berries, pecans, scrambled eggs, and applewood bacon. Our better halves order the crab and salmon benedict. As usual brunch was fabulous. This is a great club to join as their wines are top notch and there are multiple locations for your wine pickups besides their beautiful winery off of 290 and on Main St Fredericksburg. the Georgetown location is convenient but it does get crowded and service can be occasionally spotty.

The winery and indoor space are charming and very well decorated. They also have a great collection of wines. I found the servers to be quite snobbish though, it seemed like they only cared to be nice if you were a wine club member. This is also a 21+ winery so no kids allowed, including the restaurant and they will not even allow you to be anywhere in the area even if you are not drinking and it's pouring rain outside.

Rules. Too many. Rude staff. Too pretentious. . 20+ years ago this was our favorite vineyard of the few on 290. No longer. They've sold their grapes and their souls to California. We won't be back. Off to Becker with the hippies and cowboys!

No seating at their tasting. Made us throw away outside water, it's 90+ degrees and felt very irresponsible for them to do this given their water is not free. Service was ok. Wine is very good, their only redeeming quality.

We did a tasting here close to closing time. We were still warmly greeted; not the "we are closing" greeting we received at some other places. The wines were delicious and the stories about the wines were great. We did not feel as though we were an imposition. We did end up leaving right at closing time, so we appreciated their professionalism. I ended up getting 3 of the bottles we tried. We joined their wine club because we can use it at their Georgetown location. There were 3 different versions to choose from. All really good. And you get extra perks as a member. Many Fredericksburg wineries are closed on Tuesdays. Good info to know if planning a visit. This one was open :)

My friends and I came to grape creek vineyards for a wine tour and tasting. What was frustrating at first was that we wanted to grab a small bite and some wine before the tour since we arrived 45 minutes early, but it was only exclusive to members. No exception. So, we drove to a market nearby. Overall, the wine tour was a good experience, and it was cool to learn about the different types of wine and how the woods in the barrels contribute to the different tastes. Our tour guide was very informative and thorough with his explanations! Once we got to the wine tasting room, we were told we could only sample up to 3 different wines, but the guy was open to letting us try more. At one point, when he started talking about the membership though, it felt like he was pressuring us to sign up, and it was getting way too excessive, even when I had already said no thank you. My group started to sense the vibes that you are treated much differently if you're a member vs not a member. The wine was pretty high quality I will admit, but the service was not. After the tasting, we dined in at the restaurant, since 2 of our friends became members on the spot... the spinach artichoke was tasty- cheesy and creamy with chunks of artichoke throughout. Loved how they served it with crispy pita chips on the side and the carrots to add a lil balance. Also, we were sitting at a table directly under the sun, and we asked if they could open up the umbrella, but they said they were unable to because of the wind (that was non existent). We eventually moved under the shade, but my group had to sit at two different tables.

This has been our favorite experience on the Texas Wine Passport tour this year. Eve was a friendly, fun and knowledgeable host at the bar serving our wine tasting flight. We stuck to reds, and enjoyed all the ones we tasted. Interestingly, our favorites in order of preference were the cheapest at number 1 and most expensive at number 4. We liked the Cabernet Trio the best, the Bellisimo, Invention and then Serendipity. We liked it so much, we joined the wine club and then stayed for lunch at the member's only restaurant-Stouts. There is plenty of seating for members inside and out, with a patio separate from the restaurant, where they serve small bites and wine. The restaurant also has outdoor and inside seating. We chose inside to avoid the heat, but will definitely look forward to eating outside next time for a better view. The pricing is a little high, but the portions are generous and the quality was good. I had Crab Cakes Benedict with home fried potatoes, and my husband had a breakfast burger that was large with lots of Parmesan fries. We enjoyed both very much. Update: we went back for lunch a few days later and had the delicious meatballs, hummus & veggies and meat lovers pizza. It was all fantastic! Can't wait to go again.

Almost comical how rude and pretentious the staff are. They are part of a popular shuttle route, but the amount of rules and level of exclusivity they're desperately trying to give off at this vineyard make it virtually impossible to even get in. Which is honestly fine, our experience at the check in station was enough to make us want to leave. The hostess and the security guard were so cold, so arrogant, and so unwelcoming. It was unbelievable. The vibe here is the complete opposite of what Fredericksburg so special.

The best wine in Texas! Amazing red, sister vineyard with Heath who has fantastic sparkling wine. A must for the wine lovers passing through. Huge thanks to Melanie for the fun tastings and Zanna for the hospitality!

Very nice and very large property with plenty of indoor or outdoor space to sit and mingle. Spacious dining area. Our food was great. We were treated nicely by our servers. I may be biased being that I came with great company. Prices are somewhat steep.

DONT GO HERE I don't leave negative reviews often, but I will say of all the wineries in Fredericksburg that I visited, this is the rudest winery I've ever been to. We drove all the way from Austin and this was the first winery we're visiting. We have a service dog with us and the winery clearly states that service dogs are allowed. When we walk up to check in for the tasting that we paid for in advance, she was incredibly rude and basically grilled us on my dog being a service dog. She completely crossed a line, asking questions that violated HIPPA compliance. Her name is Julia and she is the rudest woman I've ever met. The group that we joined later said that she was really mean to them as well. Later, we got questioned again by another woman, Kimberli (she was nicer about it but it frustrated us because it was the second time we were being interrogated. I 100% think Julia spoke in their earpiece to question us. There is no reason to be questioned twice when I provided the accurate information about my service dog and the establishment says they allow them. It was just rude and negative energy all around for a place that's rated #1 on Trip Advisor. We later went to a nearby winery and told them about our experience. They said "yes, they are very militant there. It's because they have a lot of money, sell wines in stores and boast having tons of members". At the end of the day, my service dog is well trained, certified through an accredited organization and trained in the CGC guidelines, yet I was accosted by Julia about it and the entire time felt I was being watched... I had a miserable experience at this winery.

Do you want to feel unwelcome? This is the place for you. Won't let you eat at their restaurant if you aren't a member. Told us to go do a tasting and then join their club, and then they'd let us eat there. The host also complained about to us about the ONE lunch reservation on his book, stating he'd like to get rid of them.

We like the vineyard so much we became members! They are one of the oldest wineries in the area and uphold an excellent reputation. The location is beautiful with a wonderful landscape to enjoy as you taste their wine offerings. We were fortunate to have an amazing host for our tasting. He provided detailed descriptions on each of the wines and offered excellent recommendations. Grape Creek has a variety of wines to satisfy any palate, whether you are looking for something crisp and refreshing or more full-bodied and complex. Grape Creek is always our go to stop when we visit Fredericksburg!

Don't bother with this place unless you wanna hand over your wallet. If you're not a member, the experience is quite disappointing. I chose this winery because of its beauty but we never even got to see it. Non-members were herded into the tasting room which was a glorified sales pitch for buying a membership. After the quick tasting we asked to get a glass but no, only members can get a glass to drink out on the patio. Basically, buy a membership or bust. So we left. Way to take the fun out of going to wineries. Whole thing felt like a money-grubbing elitist-only scheme.

Horrible experience at the main Vineyard in Fredericksburg! The hostess at the front was very curt, rude, and verbally arguing with her coworkers in front of customers. Very unprofessional and bad customer service. I was a guest of a member here and I was shocked to see how poorly members were being treated! Will not be coming back. Save yourself a trip and go to Any other winery!

I can not express how much this winery has gone down hill. Their customer service is horrible, staff is rude and even turned away family that "were" members with an infant. Don't not let the beautiful ambiance be an oversight for what you are really going to experience. Complete waste of time and money. There are too many really nice up and coming wineries to entertain this type of treatment. We have been going to 290 wine trail for decades. I was even a member at Grape Creek and cancelled years ago. Only to find now they are taking over and spreading the horrible management style to other wineries such as Kuhlman. This used to be such a great little place that now is ran by the Heath family which does not value their members. They also do not offer flexibility in their membership allocations. We were basically told if you do not like the way we run things, then we do not want you as a member. Do yourself a favor, if want to enjoy your day or weekend, pass by the Heath Family Wineries!!!

I have visited wineries literally around the world and have to say this was the worst I have ever experienced. The level of arrogance was palpable. I'm a member of several wine clubs (California, Washington and Texas). I was excited to go to Grape Creek with friends who are members. Usually wine club members are treated very well. Given the margin they afford the wineries, they are generally considered an important part of the business. Had I not been with my friends, I wouldn't have even been allowed in! And when they picked up their club allotments they were initially told they couldn't get a glass of wine. Seriously! Get over yourselves. We're in Texas and that kind of condescension doesn't fly here.

OMG, Need reservations or must be a member to eat. Range Rover crowd only, this place was sooo douchey. why? who falls for this crap. pretentious 109%

Great service and venue. Really enjoyed wine and people. Very accommodating to our party. Beautiful grounds

Unfortunately, today's visit was a major disappointment. Upon arrival, Andrea greeted us with noticeable rudeness and a complete lack of warmth or professionalism. It felt like we were being treated with disdain from the moment we stepped in. Inside, while picking up my wine shipment, Joanne couldn't seem to get my name right and had a visible attitude about the process. When we informed her we wouldn't be staying, she insisted we go through the drive-thru despite the fact that we were already inside, standing right in front of her, fully capable of walking out with it ourselves. We were also picking up a shipment for a friend, and instead of handling it with basic courtesy, Joanne gave us unnecessary attitude and remarked that "they better be okay with it." I've had great experiences here in the past, which makes this all the more disappointing. Something has clearly changed. I've removed my previous positive review and will leave this one until I have another experience worth praising. If this type of treatment continues, I will seriously consider canceling my membership altogether... As I write this from another vineyard one I'm not even a member of I'm being treated with far more respect and am enjoying a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. That says a lot...

I'd give 0 star but the place wouldn't let us order. We were in the process of becoming members but they wouldn't let us order to accommodate for our 6 guests. We left empty handed and we were actually excited to try the place.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and the service was great. We did not have any food at our wine tasting tour but we enjoyed every minute of it. The property was gorgeous and the short tram ride was comfortable. We loved the wine selection!

DO NOT VISIT THIS WINERY! We signed up to receive wines for April and they sent in February! I called on February 3rd to cancel, and they sent the wine anyway! When I called and spoke to Wendy, she said they messed up and there was nothing she could do! This is not a way to run a businesses! This is fraudulent, and they will hear from me again! They are charging me for 2 different types of wine clubs, one at $172 and the other at $133! This is insane, do not do business with this winery! They are liars and rude! I guess they never heard of, HONEST BUSINESS!

I joined! That's how much I loved it. When you arrive you are asked if you are tasting or just coming to get a glass of wine. Loved the ambiance. We will be back!

This is my first time in Fredericksburg and this is the first wine tasting we wanted to try and the experience was absolutely TERRIBLE and we didn't even make it past paying for a wine tasting. They made it a big deal that we had 8 people and suggested for us to break up our group into two which we were completely fine with. We get to the register and some blonde, rude boy kept rolling his eyes when we explained what HIS coworker told us. Then he proceeds to get a manager (terrible one at that) for whatever reason and when we explain the situation yet again she tells us she can't accommodate to our big party even if we broke up into 2 groups. Not sure if it's cause we weren't white enough for the place but save your money and time. I highly suggest this place gets new management and employees.

Terrible service. Staff was very rude. Turned us away. We were told couldn't be accommodated in a group of 5. Said tasting don't set anyway but we were not going to be allowed in. Not representative of a Texas winery. Don't waste your time going here. Guess we were not their ideal clientele.

Omg! We read the reviews and almost did not come because of some of the negative opinions.I AM SO GLAD WE CAME! Not only was this the best wine we've had outside of Italy/ France (and we moved from CA), but the customer service was beyond incredible. It shocks me that people wrote poorly about this. We had Laurie as our server, and she was so kind, not pushy, gave us extra wine to taste off the menu and we felt like we were enjoying amazing wine in a beautiful location with a long time friend. She is the best, ask for her! She will make you feel like you are the most important person in the room. Hands down do not miss out on coming here! We took a road trip for our anniversary and visiting here has been the highlight.

The guy at our front entrance gave us a warm greeting! He helped me pick out wine and shared a little tip on how to store it: the cork needs to stay wet to prevent the wine from oxidizing, so keep your wine tilted. The inside of the building was very clean and classy, reminding me of a fine dining restaurant. The customer service was excellent; they retrieved the wine quickly, and I was able to get in and out in under 10 minutes. Despite not drinking myself, I bought the wine as gifts, and I'm sure my friends will love it! Additionally, both the restrooms and the outdoor walking area were nice and clean. I highly recommend visiting here!

I Have been coming to this winery since it started in the small tan building beside the huge winery it has become. I came to the winery in passing back to Austin 6-8 months ago and stopped to pick up wine and cooking oils. I was treated like dog crap and told I had to buy a tasting to make a purchase. I left thinking this was a fluke and just because they were busy. SO NOT TRUE My friend is a member and joined in Georgetown. She had never been to the actual winery itself. We had a Wine run planned Sat 12/2 and travelled 1.5 hours to come to the Grape Creek winery to let her experience the actual winery itself first before the run. From the moment we approached the members only side we were treated like crap. We were greeted by the lady with " were are you coming from dressed like that? Clearly I have PUZZLED look on my face. She then states we might get questioned on our outfits. We had on leggings, tutu's and wine running shirts for the event we were going to. We all let that go and were rushed through choosing a wine. We bought a bottle for 3 people to share sat down and were talking about what just happened. The host over heard us where we were sitting in the members only area. She quickly got the manager and he came over to talk to us. Doug (the manager) made it crystal clear they only want elite upper class people there after explaining what had happened. Was this A PUN? He said it's their policy to not allow matching shifts. I explained my prior event 6-8 months ago and he defended this with "was it on a Saturday"? WTH? I thought I was on a reality TV show- This can't be real from a MANAGER? It's also your policy for NO PETS on your website, however there was a lab mix running around off leash and nothing was said to him. Even when I brought it to his attention your website says NO PETS I just looked it up. He defended the behavior of the rude staff and his own rudeness. I explained to him word of mouth is powerful and I would be drinking my very last glass of Grape Creek Wine. He was totally fine with that. COMMON people are NOT welcome here. SAVE YOUR MONEY and visit one of the many wineries on 290. We left and went to Fat Ass winery and they LOVED that we spent our "lower class" money there. Had a WAY better time here. The Reviews DON'T LIE.. this is my 1st EVER review to write for anyone, but I will not have others be treated the way I or my friends where ALL treated as MEMBERS.

Service was awful. They told us to wait 15 minutes for a tasting but there was a lady that jumped us in the list and assigned other people for a tasting before us. She was so racist and rude that when we tried to cancel and refund she found someone else to handle us because she was acting she couldn't understand us several times after spelling out last name. This was very disappointing, we became members in one of the others wineries to come to the place and be treated bad. This people are racist and I'll never step a foot here. Their employees need some customer service courses. They are very arrogant, and that's not what this business is about.

Another great afternoon at the winery. Started with a tasting with Pam, which was fun and informative. Then lunch on the patio.

I've been here twice now and had Dan both times, let me say he knows his stuff. We've really enjoyed our time at this location and the one in Georgetown. We look forward to our membership shipment and will be coming back for more. The one star reviews are people Karen's.

Went to the Fredricksburg location on Mother's Day weekend. We are well versed in world wines, as well as CA, OR . & WA. but we were eager to explore TX wines as we had not ever tried them. We purchased a comparative tasting. We nver did get the wines we requested on our tasting sheet because the woman behind the bar felt she knew what we needed better than we did. Didn' answer questions, talked over us, and was very busy hard selling memberships to everyone at the bar. I mean relentless-it was SUPER cringy. A couple of the wines were fine, but we were so turned off by the server we couldn't get out of there fast enough.

For starters, you do need a reservation for tastings. If you go right when they open you MAY be able to do a walk in. I went at 1130 on a Saturday and was able to do a walk in. This is a members only winery UNLESS you are doing a tasting. Even once you are finished with the tasting, if you don't become a member you might as well leave because there is no seating for you. This vineyard is just a huge sales pitch. The grounds are beautiful but I would recommend going to another winery if you plan to get a bottle or a glass and just enjoy yourself. I will say, the wine is really good. If you want something similar, I'd recommend baron creek or William chris.

We did a wine tasting with Dan and it was a great experience! He was very friendly and knowledgeable. The wines were delicious, there is definitely more benefits for members than casual visitors.

I am a member and typically go to the location in Georgetown. It was great to finally go to the Fredericksburg location! Harvey was great and helpful! Always great seeing other Aggies! Whoop!

Nice wine tasting, but turns out after you purchase a few bottles, they automatically enroll you in their 'wine club'... they are impossible to work with on the return of unwanted wine.. I would NOT recommend this winery, many others in Fredericksburg are 1.better wine and 2. much better service.. this unfortunately was our 1st stop.. definitely have no desire to go back to any of their wineries & question why we chose Fredericksburg for an enjoyable girls trip.

I don't recommend this winery and am extremely disappointed in this winery. I booked the "Tour and Wine Tasting" experience for myself and 4 others in my group. At Almost $50 per person, I expected there to be a quality, knowledgeable tour guide, and engaging experience, but was utterly disappointed in both. When the tour began, we were initially taken to the machines where grapes are pressed. When I asked two fairly simple questions about the press, the tour guide didn't know and the response to one of the questions was literally "I get asked that at least once a week", but still didn't know the answer. The second area we were taken to was the fermentation room, we were given our first tasting and it was at most a one-ounce pour. Again, when I asked a question about the tour, the tour guide gave a very general answer as if she didn't know much about Grape Creek or their process. The third room we were taken to was their barrel room, where we again were poured maybe one ounce pours for each of the three tastings of Petit Verdot in neutral, American, and French oak, all of which were subpar wines (our group even poured out the first one). After our "informative" brief of the barrel room was complete, we ended up having to keep ourselves entertained for literally 15 minutes while the group ahead of us finished their tasting. The time management of the tour was embarrassing for Grape Creek, and during the wait, the host was neither engaging with the group nor offered us more wine as a consolation while we stood around. In the tasting area, we had the opportunity to taste any 3 wines, and again, were given one-ounce pours. Our wine server was again not confident and knowledgeable about the wines we were having or Grape Creek's process and philosophy. When we finished our tastings, I asked if we could get a bottle or have a glass and was told we couldn't. Grape Creek's policy is that only members are allowed to have a glass of wine. Even though we were paying customers of the tour, if we didn't become wine club members, since the tour was over, we couldn't get any more wine. While Grape Creek reserves its right to have its own rules and prioritize its members, it came off as incredibly pretentious. The wine, nor experience was remotely good enough to make us want to become wine club members and honestly baffled myself and my group with how much we seemed to be looked down on and limited in our experience at Grape Creek. I don't recommend Grape Creek Winery and honestly am embarrassed to have taken my group there.

Very disappointed, staff is rule. Stay away. Very pretentious individual and service is terrible.
