Highlights

For five generations, our family has been farming various crops in India. Today, we're keeping that heritage alive in Fredericksburg. At our boutique winery located just minutes from downtown, we've set out to create world-class wines -- starting with the grapes we grow ourselves. From our Malbec to our Teroldego, each one of our wines was made to be savored. Whether you're a member of our wine club or a first-time visitor, we'll always make you feel at home at our tasting room -- and so will our sheep.

"Texas wines are fantastic, and this Fredericksburg winery does beautiful justice to reds and whites sourced from its own vineyard in the Texas High Plains. There’s also a really great snacks menu with mostly South Asian dishes, such as samosas and naan pizzas. And even better: there’s a field with llamas and sheep. Wine tastings can be booked online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Erin Russell, Nadia Chaudhury

Kalasi Cellars was amazing! Paul, our tasting guide, did an incredible job sharing the story of how Kalasi came to be. He was very personable and had an outstanding personality. Highly recommend doing separate tastings as Paul suggested. I got the chocolate pairing tasting and my partner got the premium tasting. We were able to sharing all different wines and share the chocolate with each taste as well. It was a very intimate setting. Highly recommend if you want to visit a quieter atmosphere and have personalized guidance from Paul!!

My girlfriend and I visited on a wine tour and were blown away by this winery. Our sever was Paul and he ensured we had a great time and was more than knowledgeable on all aspects of the winery. Paul not only taught us about the wines we were enjoying, but the story behind them, and how the owner started which was a nice touch. Paul is the man, we couldn’t recommend this place enough and we will be back.

This place is absolutely adorable! The wine tasting experience is a definite must try! The staff are kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable with their wines. Quaint cute spot that’s away from the congested part of Fredericksburg.

Great wine! Beautiful place. And thank you Grace for taking such good care of us! We loved the stories about how the vineyard got started and all the details about the different wines shared with us!

Had a wonderful visit at Kalasi Cellars. The estate is beautifully landscaped and relaxing. The gentleman that helped us was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The winemaker knows her stuff and puts out wonderful wine! We enjoyed every wine in our tasting. Flavors rivaled that of some of our favorite Healdsburg wines. We bought a few bottles and plan to visit again soon.

We had an awesome time at Kalasi, our new favorite spot to grab a glass (or bottle(s)) of wine in Texas hill country. Love the owners story and the passion for winemaking. Paul did an amazing job curating our tasting and making some additional recommendations based on what we preferred. We will be back many times!

I fell in love with wine at this place plus those who serve it make the experience that much more enjoyable! Special shout out to Paul, who is kind and knowledgeable and just a great person to chat with! Would definitely visit and joining!! Ask for Paul :)

I have given this review 3 stars . Not because the wine wasn’t good , it’s not because of the amazing young man named Louis who served us . He was not only nice he was very knowledgeable about the wine and answered all of our questions. The property was also very nice . All of those previously mentioned categories deserve 5 stars. My concern was the older lady who also was working on Dec 31 at 11 am when we arrived . There were only 4 other people in the tasting room when we arrived. Louis greeted us very nicely and we were asked if we had a reservation and we did not . We understood we were a party of 10 we would not have expected to be given anything special . We would have been fine with bottle service alone. However the lady quickly told us (and not in a friendly tone)since we were a party of 10 we would have to pay on one ticket and would be charged an automatic 20 % gratuity charge . We were not very happy with her tone or her rude attitude . We were going to leave and just go to another winery . Louis stepped in and took care of us . At the end of our visit each couple probably payed $100. + But to add to our encounter with this particular worker . One of our party asked if a military discount was offered ( He is a retired Marine) and she said we only offer a discount for active military personnel. With a finger gestures as quotation “”.Is this your policy ? If so I think it needs to said to the public so they can make the decision to patronize. Your winery or not. I am sorry to go on about this but as a business owner . I think it is important that you know what goes on in your winery. We will not be returning . With the quality of your wine . We may have considered being part of your wine club. However to have to deal with the likes of her .. no way! Thank you, Kelly C

We just did a tasting here today and the wine blew us away! We are very particular with our wines, too. The ambiance was very relaxing and our server Paul was very knowledgeable and gave us great service. We are not from Texas, but we ended up becoming members and ended up with 8 bottles! We will definitely be back to this winery when we come back to Fredericksburg.

Marjan and I are frequent visitors to wineries in general, and to Fredericksburg wineries in particular. Marjan has experienced the Napa Valley offerings, and has shared wine experience as guest of oenophiles with remarkable collections. We have enjoyed wines while in Europe and South of the border. In truth, we have specific tastes for wine, developed over the years, given the mentioned frame of reference. Ergo, our shared review of Kalasi Cellars. We learned of this winery from guests at other establishments in Fredericksburg this holiday weekend. The comments were so glowing, we felt compelled to visit. The winery is found off hwy 290, a few miles north of the town. The tasting room is placed within a couple dozen acres of pasture, home to their pet livestock. The winery grows their own grapes in the Texas Plains, and the proprietors have degreed qualifications in viticulture and business. The environment of the grounds can best be described as typical pasture land, lacking the hill country essence of say, the grounds of The Edge. There are not rows of vines that surround Augusta Vin. And there is no hill country charm of the grounds of some of the smaller wineries found east on 290. The design of the tasting room is of soaring ceilings, with windows allowing pleasing ambient light bathing the visitors. The furnishings are spare, with aluminum stools around the bar, the walls without visual elements, absent those we found at another winery we visited: for example, original works by San Antonio artist Mondini, or images of typical hill country pieces. In a word, the tasting room is contemporary, clean to the eye. We visited at the end of the tasting day, 10 or so guests at table. The staff, a gentleman and lady immediately greeted us. The friendly staff seemed very well versed in the history of the proprietors, the genesis of the winery, and aspects of the philosophy and techniques employed by the owners. We considered this a true reflection of the time and effort that the owners instilled in the staff, a reflection of the true pride in their enterprise. At some of the wineries we had visited, staff can be poorly trained, inattentive and less than knowledgeable about their product. This was particularly true of some of larger establishments, frequented by the "cruise ships" of guests that unload at the wineries, but such was not the case at Kalasi. We learned that the proprietors are introducing grapes that are not usually known in local wineries, developing reds and whites that embody not only the grape, but flavors that reflect aspects of the viticulturist's roots. The owners are utilizing techniques (optical selection) whose purpose is to select only the most desirable grapes from their vineyards. The upshot: lower yield, for better quality. They are also utilizing not only wooden casks, but also stainless steel, with varying times to desired maturity. We were impressed with this avant garde approach to their product. But the true matter at hand was the product itself. We began with sampling of white wine, these with light body, drier to the palate, with a moderate finish. Two were on the menu, both with similar character. There were three reds that we sampled. The nose of the wines were different, not unpleasing, but not remarkable. All of the reds were dry, and we found them with a different flavor, but with a finish that didn't really agree with our particular preference. Wine preferences are very individual, with shared preferences that can be universal. For our tastes, the nuances of Kalasi offerings didn't really meet our preferences. Nontheless, we remain open minded about this newer winery, given the intent, grapes and techniques being developed by the proprietors. We plan a future visit.

I'm glad we got to visit this winery! The owner took some time to make sure we got a glass that we liked. The view outside was peaceful, we couldn't even hear the traffic.

This winery and tasting room is a must for any visitors to Fredericksburg. The experience was a highlight of trip to Texas wine country. Paul was very knowledgeable about all wines not the delicious wine they had to offer and he effortlessly handled multiple groups at the same time . The gardens and setting are beautiful. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Fredericksburg.

Yelp
This family-owned winery features a modern tasting room and all-Texas wines. At the entrance there's a small patio overlooking a pleasantly landscaped walk, with additional outdoor seating options on the side. One of the owners is of Indian heritage, and I understand Kalasi means "gathering". Other hints include elephants on the wine labels, Indian decor in the restrooms, and delicious mini samosas on the snack menu. Enjoy a tasting at the U- shaped counter, or order a glass of wine to enjoy in front of the picture windows. Wine selection includes classics such as malbec and sangiovese, custom blends such as Re d'Italia, and more unusual varietals such as Teroldego. Placid and peaceful setting to enjoy real Texas wine.

Wonderful tasting room experience. Paul was a great host, very friendly, and offered great insight into each wine. We enjoyed the wines so much we gladly signed up for their wine club. Fantastic place to visit, highly recommended!

The grounds are gorgeous, the wine-tasting room is huge and welcoming. You could spend all afternoon here and just sip wine and talk with server Paul, a way cool guy. Greg the husband of Nakita and co-owner of the business came in and spoke to us for a while. Great dude. The wines we had were fantastic across the board. My favorite was the Malvasia Bianca from the standard tasting menu (5x1oz pours) my wife and I both did. She also got the appetizer samosa and she enjoyed it she said. I like what this place is doing and how they do it with wine, unique Indian food pairings, customer service, ambiance and general feel of the place. Make sure to get Paul for your server and wine pourer, he is a class act guy to interact with.

Relaxing and friendly winery. I enjoyed a nice glass of white wine. Definitely feel like you are in the Hill Country with the outdoor area overlooking pastures of farm animals.

Yelp
We stopped here on a whim right before closing. Small tasting room set amid a pasture near downtown Fredericksburg. Nice service. We are white wine drinkers, but unfortunately the one white on menu we wanted to try - the sparkling Muscat - wasn't sparkling and it was extremely dry compared to most other muscats we've had. We may stop by again if they broaden their menu to include some other whites.

Nami K.

Yelp
Great find for red wine drinkers with few whites, property is calm and peaceful, Kalasi team does a great job with storytelling with a personal connection and wine is as diverse as the winemakers.

We have been members here for a little over a year. Don't let the cool clean tasting room fool you as this is the warmest most family friendly winery with delicious wines you will find. Fredericksburg is known for it's wines, but many are sweet and this is a hidden gem of delicious flavorful wines that don't resemble juice. Finding a winery run by a grower that provides estate grown wines with such thoughtfulness in every drop will bring out the Sommelier in everyone as you compare the same wines from year to year. And as for the service, we can't say enough. The staff, including the owners, are personable and truly want to ensure you have the best experience. We needed a changing table, they got us one. Have friends show up to a members event where they are making food fresh for those who RSVP'd, they flex hard and get your friends a plate of delicious Indian inspired BBQ. Overall this is one of our favorite places in Fredericksburg for many reasons! Cheers to people who truly love wine and people!

We went to Kalasi for the first time last night and had a really great experience! My husband and I both really enjoyed our wine and the atmosphere was great with a nice view out the windows. When you go, ask for Louis! He was wonderful, gave us great service and very enjoyable to chat with. He was very knowledgeable of the wines and we learned a lot. We genuinely had a pleasant visit with him and hope to see him again when we return!

Kelsey S.

So I'll say right off the bat, Texas wine isn't normally my thing, BUT Kalasi had some of the best Texas wine we've tried. I Was pleasantly surprised. I highly recommend getting a tasting flight. The sommeliers are so knowledgeable and really make the experience so fun! Note: this cellar has a dog friendly patio that I highly recommend checking out. The only rule - keep your pups away from the llama

Joined the wine club here. The wine is exquisite and the food is great. The staff is very knowledgeable about the wine and the owners are often there. Everyone is helpful and friendly. There's a nice open field with a couple of Llamas. Outdoor seating is available when the weather is nice. Restrooms (unisex) are clean and quaintly decorated with elephants.

Mallory T.

Yelp
Truly neat experience! The gentleman (white hair) who served us our wine tastings was extremely passionate about his job and the wine he serves. He taught us so much about the owner, her background, the reasons the labels were certain colors, grapes, wine, you name it. Sometimes chattiness can ruin relaxation but he was genuinely interesting to listen to. He was not pushy at all, and I never felt like we needed to buy anything or join the wine club. And for that, we purchased a delicious muscat white wine (we don't even drink white but it was so smooth). The tasting room with all the wood work and windows is gorgeous. This was a top experience and winery for us. This tasting room is practically brand new and fairly bare, but I can tell it will only get better with time. The big plus was how close it was to downtown. Five stars!

Yelp
Very pleasant wine tasting stop just on the outskirts of Fredericksburg. Make a reservation in advance, so you know your seats at the bar are waiting. They've built an attractive and pleasant tasting room, that's a great spot so spend some sipping time. There's also very pleasant outside seating if it's a nice day. Their llama and sheep add to the view filled country ambiance as well. Great people, really good wine, they know what they're doing, and should be on your short list for any Fredericksburg area winery vacation.

The wine is fantastic there isn't one we don't like. The service is spectacular. It's like being with family here. Every date day ends here for us.

We have been members here for about a year and a half. My wife and I are California wine snobs who have worked in a few tasting rooms of pretty darn good wineries on the Central coast. we weren't expecting much from Texas but Kalasi wines are very good. The tasting room is attractive, the employees are friendly and very wine knowledgeable without being stuffy, and one or both of the owners are there almost every time we come in. They are also great at customer service. Wine club events are terrific too. It's nice they offer a 3 bottle per quarter club option. Without going into specifics of which are may favorites (What do you care? Your taste may be different than mine) I will say they don't have any sweet wines if that is your thing, but they do have a mix of red, white and rose. I like all of them.

The wine, the experience, the service - you can't miss this place when visiting Fredericksburg! The tasting room is bright and spacious (great for staying your distance from others). The tasting room employees are friendly and knowledgeable without being pretentious. And the outdoor space is to die for! Picturesque trees with anorak chairs below to take in the surrounding view while sipping on world class wine from Texas! Grapes are grown by the family and care is taken from soil to bottle with each wine. A family affair that you can't get enough of!

This is the best winery in the area, we tryout other places and this is our favorite! The place is so beautiful, elegant, and classy. The Owners Greg and Nikhila are amazing! They did a great job with the facilities and the amazing wine! You need and experienced and fun explanation about the wines, ask for Paul, he is the best! We had a great time with them and learning about their production process, so scientific, looking for the best grapes and process and they did it, wine is amazing! Do not miss this place is the best!

Ritodhi C.

This was our first stop on a whirlwind our of Hill Country wineries and ended up as our likely favorite. We undoubtedly enjoy drinking wine and do so often but are complete novices when it comes to the art of viniculture. Thankfully, the numerous employees who rotated through and engaged with us during our tasting were friendly and knowledgeable, unpretentious, and clearly loved their jobs. We were seated at the central bar and the tasting room itself was warm and welcoming, with high ceilings and lovely natural light. The Indian twist was really unique, from the auto-rickshaw out front to the wallpaper in the bathroom to the very name of the winery, though I have to say as an Indian-American myself that the savory snacks on the menu are tasty but extremely overpriced. We got to try several varietals that we had never had before (e.g., Roussane, Tannat) that were really delicious and none of them, even the Muscat, were overly saccharine. On top of all this, Kalasi is an advocate and supporter of Texas-grown wines and wineries and engages in sustainable farming practices, partially by employing some on-site sheep and a llama. A really enjoyable way to spend an afternoon that I highly recommend!

Michael W.

Yelp
Such an amazing vibe with even better wines. I will definitely visit again if back in Fredericksburg. The people there were also so friendly and knowledgeable.

Kalasi offered one of the best winery experiences we have had in awhile, especially during COVID. We normally prefer outside but actually felt safe inside here because they had everyone spaced out at the bar, and the tasting room has really high ceilings and felt airy. The service was great... Darryl and the owners were all so kind and took the time to chat and tell us about the winery and offer recommendations for other places in the area. It's pronounced "KAL-ah-see", if I remember correctly, and means "together" since it's a husband and wife who started it. The wine is great. The tannat and Sangiovese were our favorites, but they were honestly all good... even the whites, which are not normally our favorites. We took some home. But the thing that really topped it all off for us was the food. I've never seen Indian food at a winery and it was absolutely delicious! The samosas and tikka masala pizza actually went really well with the wine. They appeared to be just reheated from frozen (it's not like they have a full restaurant, it's just a light menu they started serving due to COVID rules) but don't let that dissuade you, it was amazing. The location is kind of in a residential area, so we would never have just passed by (thank you Yelp!) but it is so close to Fredericksburg, and very convenient. Visit, and don't forget to say hi to the sheep and llama!

We stopped by this new cellars because of many positive Yelp reviews. They were right!!! The place is beautiful and their wine selection is fantastic. We did the tastings and ended up buying a bottle of Meritage. Darrell was our guy and he was knowledgeable, friendly and nice to talk to. We had a great time out there. We will definitely come back. COVID conscious, too and we felt very safe.

Just had a second trip to Kalasi and how is it possible that I'm more in love than the first time? The first time we visited back in November, the owners Greg and Nikhila were so welcoming. They shared their story about setting up the new winery and introduced us to all the sheep and their handsome protector, Dalai the llama. The great wine was just a bonus! I was lucky enough to get away for a weekend HAD to get a reservation at Kalasi. Christi took care of our small group. She was wonderful--introduced me to a few new wines and taught me about the different wine varieties. We ended up leaving with multiple bottles and this will definitely be my first stop the next time I'm in Fredericksburg. My favorites: Malbec New favorite: Muscat--crisp, refreshing, and not too sweet

Kaitlyn M.

Yelp
A couple of friends and I randomly came across Kalasi on Google Maps, so we thought we'd check it out. It was our favorite winery our entire trip. Delicious wine, personable owners, very clean. We each did a tasting - $20 for 5 pours l. Planning another trip next month and will be coming back!

Bernie W.

Yelp
Some interesting tasting wines and a pleasant host. This was our first visit to a Texas winery so the $20 price tag for a tasting was a bit steep as it is not credited towards a purchase, that being said this is the real deal and not a fancy faux estate putting on aires of being in Napa or Sonoma.

Vanessa R.

Yelp
My husband and I enjoyed our anniversary by visiting Fredericksburg. We drove by Kalasi and noticed a large Now Open sign at their entrance. We popped in and couldn't have been more pleased. We were greeted upon entering and we started with the wine tasting. Every wine was better than the next. My favorite was the Teroldego. We bought 1 bottle to enjoy while sitting outside and snacking on the delicious curry pizza. I highly recommend Kalasi and wish them the very best. We will be back!!

Natalie G.

Yelp
The couple that owns this winery is so sweet and welcoming! Kalasi is very close to downtown and has a nice view of the pasture. Make sure to check out the llama and the sheep. Our go to wine is the Carménère with a side of Indian snacks.

Manny G.

Yelp
Wines are Ok, but nothing complex or special. The tastings are WAY WAY over priced, especially with the very Stingy pours (see pic). I commented on the size of pour and they brushed off the comment. Bring your own pallet cleanser, they offered me none. Save your money and ask for a glass of Carmenere. It was very well done. Everything else is not worth the cost. I was disappointed to find out that unlike the practice of most wineries, they don't waive tasting fee if you buy a set number, usually 3, bottles. Tasting fees are more than a bottle.

G D.

Yelp
What a nice little gem here in town! Very friendly and clean! Did the wine tasting and tried out the snacks, tasty! The outside is very relaxing and peaceful. Came on a Sunday evening, and not too busy. We come back again when in town.

Shelby R.

Yelp
This place is fantastic! It doesn't seem to be super well known yet, but we added it to our list because of the great reviews and wanting to try something new. It's like the perfect blend of Fredericksburg wineries: Rustic scenery, beautiful building with lots of views/natural light, personal feel and great staff, and of course, amazing wine! The Malbec and Kanchi were my favorites, but everything we tasted could easily be some of the best wines in the area from my perspective. It also stands out in the crowd of TX wineries with a nod to the winemaker's Indian heritage, with traditional Indian products and some Indian flare in the food menu. We walked away with a case of wine and a membership. Will definitely go back and highly recommend to everyone!

We went on a Wednesday and were able to reserve a time slot to have the whole room to ourselves. As a covid conscious person, this was the first time since March 2019 that I had been in a public setting (other than the grocery store) and I felt safe. Darrell was very knowledgeable, passionate, and a great story teller. This was my very first wine tasting and he did a great job of giving me the rundown on how these things usually go. My mother and I had an awesome time! There were so many new flavors I experienced at this tasting and I am so excited to share my bottle of 2017 Tannat, with the rest of my family We will be back! Also: The bathrooms were BEAUTIFUL! Seriously, take a look at that wall paper!

What a wonderful place to spend an afternoon! I was a little nervous bringing my toddlers to a winery but the staff could not have been more welcoming or accommodating. We started inside and eventually moved outside for the kids to run around. The staff was wonderful, the wine was awesome, and the atmosphere was beautiful. We also ordered their whole menu of snacks and loved everything. We are already looking forward to our next trip there!

I could give 10 stars to this place if I could. One of the best experiences my group and I had in many years. The hospitality that Darryl, Blair and Patty showed us1 was beyond words could describe. They are the NICEST hosts one couldeq EVER get. They went above and beyond to make us feel way too special. This is a unique place with a beautiful Llama and a flock of sheeps. I'm not sure aa win78q 1 expert but I loved both the reds I tried. You go here for the wonderful experience, love, and amazing hospitality. Kudos to the owners for getting such a loving staff. Made our day.

The newest adventures of Nikhila Narra and Gregg Davis at Kalasi Cellars is their latest endeavor into all things grape and wine in Texas. Having already established themselves as one of the top-quality growers of Texas grapes, the expectations of their own line of wines has been eagerly awaited. Although this is her first big step into the Texas winery business, Nikhila is certainly no stranger to the wine industry. Having experience in wine making at Cakebread Cellars in Napa Valley as well as wine certification from UC Davis AND a Texas Tech viticulture certification, her credentials are only matched by her inspiration and enthusiasm for this big dream. Like his wife, Gregg has jumped all into this new business with enthusiasm and is not looking back. With experience in business management practices, he can help foster growth and success for this new bright star that recently opened. At 3300 feet in the Texas High Plains AVA, the Davis's have been setting the bar on sustainable and quality grape growing practices for six years at Narra Vineyards. In 2014, they started with 20 acres of Albariño, Roussanne, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Sangiovese vines. Since then, they have expanded to almost 117 acres including not only Tannat and Tempranillio, but also Malvasia Bianca, Viognier, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc as well as some "rising grape stars" like Carménère, Sagrantino, and Teroldego. And as if that is not enough, they have started a new vineyard on their Texas Hill Country estate with freshly planted Teroldego last May. WOW...right? Using low yielding practices, the quality of each grape varietal at both vineyards will continue to be highly sought after by winemakers. Their commitment to a holistic approach to winemaking is unwavering and you can taste the difference in their inaugural wine releases. There are six wines to try in the fresh new hill country tasting room. The first line of wines to try are called the Heritage Collection. This represents the more common and traditional wines that everybody knows and loves. For the 2018 Roussanne, this stainless-steel aged wine does have a deep golden color and a well-rounded mouthfeel. The "newbie" on the rack is a 2019 Sparkling Muscat. This wine has just a touch of CO2 and was bottle aged for 6-months, giving it a pleasant tingling sensation along with honeysuckle notes that dance and delight across the palate. A great wine for spicy foods or a great summer sipper. Moving on to the reds! The 2018 Sangiovese was aged 18 months in neutral oak. It has good depth, character, great raspberry flavors, and is smooth. Got Malbec? This 2017 release is a big pleaser. It has a medium bodied texture, with cocoa, and cherry notes, making this bold wine a winner! The other two reds are part of their Reincarnated line. These seldom seen and grown grapes in Texas may not be so rare once Nikhila and Greg show the Texas wine world how they can be grown and crafted into great wines. You certainly may have had some good Carménère from Chile, but this "lost grape" explodes with beautiful berry structures and a touch of paprika. Have never heard of Teroldego? This Italian varietal has certainly found a new home here at Kalasi Cellars. With vanilla and tobacco notes, this very deep dark rich red wine will certainly rival many traditional well-known reds. Bring on that locally sourced fatty aged steak for pairing! It goes without saying that this 100% estate and Texas grown fruit is working out quite nicely for this new winery. On the wine horizon will be a Rosé Tannat and a Sagritora - yum and YUM! It was great being there for their opening weekend and we hope to visit again and enjoy spending a bit of time on the patio. They are a great young couple to chat with and they certainly have their hearts and passions in the right place. Do plan to stop by! They have a kitchen, so stop in for lunch and a tasting or snacks and a tasting. We think you will be incredibly pleased with the wines and glad you visited. Enjoy!

My husband and I came here after hearing great things from other family members. They were right, this should be at the top of your list for wineries to visit. The tasting room is spacious and comfortable and the owner and employees very nice. We did not do a tasting as we had recommendations from family, but purchased a bottle of Malbec and drank it outside on their beautiful grounds and enjoyed the scenery. They have a few friendly sheep and a llama in a nearby field and they are fun to watch. We did try a few other wines and all were very nice. So nice, we purchased a few bottles to take home with us. We will definitely visit here again!

We visited late on Sunday before they closed. What a fabulous experience experience we had. We left with a bottle of Rousanne and Sangiovese. But we could have left with so much more. All the wines were so good. We can't wait to go back. As a wine geek looking to help elevate Texas wines, this place is awesome. Thank you for a wonderful tasting!

I absolutely love their wines! Teroldego is my personal favorite but I've tried several and they're all amazing. The tasting room is beautiful, the owners are super sweet and they have the cutest lambs and llama on their property. But they also sell online if you want to enjoy a bottle (or two) from the comfort of your home!

I went on a quiet afternoon and got to enjoy meeting the sheep and the llama. I enjoyed the red wines. They were overall dry and had balanced alcohol flavor. I appreciate that they try to show off Texas terroir(fancy french word that means the wine is more than the grape. Its the soil and the micro climate it is raised in). Although I am probably too much of newbie to pick up the difference from other places. It is also difficult learn because in the U.S. some wineries mix grapes from different states.

Daryl was AMAAAAAAAZING! My sister mom and I are on a ladies weekend and this was our last stop. They are VERY covid conscious and so the entire place, on a weekdays was for us!!!!!! We had seriously THE best time. We got grains to feed Dalai the Llama, and the sheep were PRECIOUS. We got so much education on the wine, and the time spent with us, Daryl's charisma and personality was A +++++++ We definitely highly recommend, and will be back!

My husband and I found Kalasi on our last trip to Fredericksburg and we're really impressed with their creative and knowledgeable approach to wine making. The Indian heritage influence on the food menu was also a bonus! The location is really well done. The building is simple but design is thoughtful with sound absorption in an appealing design. The outside is simple small farm style. Great seating options on a patio or under the oaks. It is a great space to spend time with family and friends even in our current COVID world. We signed up for the distribution list on the spot and are looking forward to our first shipment. If you appreciate good wine and looking for it in Texas, Kalasi is the newest gem!
