I don't like either of those, but I like wine, so take that with a grain of salt. William Chris is solid, as is Hilmy. I have heard Inwood wines are good, too. A lot of people like Lewis wines, I didn't care for them on my one visit, but that doesn't mean much. Ron Yates has a really pretty tasting room set up, but their wines are pretty average. 4.0 could be cool to check out if you have the time. One warning, between 1pm and 5pm on Saturday, all the wineries will be absolutely packed and a madhouse. If you don't like crowds, do something else in that time slot. Pretty good and tiny cocktail place called The Stable you could check out in town. Nice place in Johnson City called Bryans on 290. If you are driving through at a meal time. On my last visit I went the 10/71/290 way. Stopped at Hruska's. It wasn't terrible. Edited May 17, 20187 yr by bularry1

I like William Chris and Hilmy because a lot of their wines are exclusively Texas fruit.

We are normally Bonvoy points whores, but got tired of staying in The Fairfield, which is the only Bonvoy property there. However...IF you are Marriott member, check out the Homes & Villas in the area. If you're not Marriott, well...just disregard. If you don't mind the noise, I've stayed above the Brewery before. Also, the Winchester Lodge has some interesting room options.
February 14, 20232 yr Great suggestions thanks. When there’s only two of us we tend to go hotel. When the whole family we go VRBO/Airbnb. This will just be the two of us.
February 14, 20232 yr Emigrant’s Inn on airBnB is the only way to go. Super close to main st, very reasonably priced, very clean.

So fredericksburg is a different animal when it comes to vrbo/airbnb/bnb places. It’s a couples town so there are a metric fuck ton of 1 bedroom places to rent, a large number of them with hot tubs. Absolute Charm is the big dog in town for rentals. Or a specific bnb if you know of one, but absolute charm will get you the most choice and best locations. And renting direct from them will save you the service fees on vrbo or airbnb. https://www.absolutecharm.com Disclaimer: I work in the industry, though not for absolute charm. Disclaimer 2: every hot tub is there for sex
