Exploring Historic Fredericksburg

With over 100 vineyards and beautiful wineries in the area, it's no wonder that Fredericksburg area wine tours are a top attraction for travelers. Our popular grapes are those grown in the European regions of Tuscany Italy, Provence, and France, as well as Spanish and Portuguese varietals. These include Viognier, Tempranillo, Mouvedre, Marsanne, Rousanne and Malbec. The Texas Hill Country is also becoming famous for its blends.

History buffs have plenty to explore in small-town Fredericksburg. Founded by German immigrants in 1846, you'll see the German influence in the architecture, culture, and food. Fredericksburg Texas is one of the few remaining present day German cultural communities in the US. The 36th President of the United States was born and raised here, and the Lyndon B Johnson National and State historical parks are dedicated to the preservation of early Texas life as they offer a look at the life and times of LBJ and his wife Lady Bird Johnson.

Select Reserve Experience

We had a fantastic time on our 25th anniversary wine tour. Paul did such an excellent job of taking us to some excellent wineries, catering to our needs (water, snacks, taking items to the van). The van was comfortable for the couples on our tour. He picked us up on time and dropped us off right in front of our door. I highly recommend this tour!  Can’t say enough about Paul!

Personalized trip, with attention to details. We were well taken care of by Paul. Thank you again, we will be back!

Had an amazing time! Thanks again!

Our group booked the Select Reserve Experience for our best friend’s bachelorette weekend and About Town Wine Experience was very responsive and easy to communicate with before the trip. They filled me in on the BEST itinerary for what we wanted and even gave us helpful recommendations for the rest of our trip. We had an exceptional time together and the service was amazing.
