In 2011 Messina Hof Hill Country Winery opened its doors in Fredericksburg, the second largest wine tourism destination in the country. Sitting on nearly 10 acres in the heart of Texas wine country along Highway 290, this winery also has its own vineyard. The Lenoir grapes grown at this location go into the making of more traditional style ports.
“We had a great experience at Messina Hof Winery. Right away, the wine steward with vibrant red hair was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She brought such a fun, energetic vibe that really elevated the whole experience. They were also open later than a lot of the other wineries in the area, which made it an easy stop for us. We ended up sharing a flight and, just from chatting, she surprised us with a couple of extra tastings, which was a really nice touch. She also recommended trying their homemade fudge and even offered us a sample. It was delicious and definitely worth it. Overall, good wine, great people, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Definitely worth a stop.”
“We love our wines from Messina Hof. We always stop in and not just because we are members. The wine and service is always great. We are soo lucky to have one close to home as well. Can't wait for our next trip to the hill country.”
“What a beautiful location. The inside of the main building is very inviting and the outside covered patio area is very relaxing. This is a dog and military friendly location. I had two port wines, I unfortunately can’t remember their names but both were smooth but one had a chocolate after taste. I was going to call it after that but this sweet person named Jan kept on having me taste some different flavor wine and mixed some flavors that convinced me into another glass and a couple bottles. Jan knows how to do business and honestly nice to se someone that has very good people skills. I need to go back and get more.”
“We stopped at Messina Hof as part of a travel app that we use. We had a wonderful afternoon with great service and wines. Jan (the wine steward) was friendly and helpful with excellent recommendations as we talked about the styles of wine we enjoy. We had glasses of the Sparkling Almond wine and Cabernet Sauvignon. They were perfect for our tastes and we left with a bottle of the Sparkling Almond to enjoy later. Nice wines and a gorgeous sunset made the day special.”
“We were surprised at how good the wines from the Winemaker's flight were! I wasn't interested in trying one from the flight, and they let me sub another with no fuss. Alberto poured for us - he was fun and gave great wine descriptions. Compared to the other vinyards in the area, this had much more seating and a more relaxed atmosphere. I wish we would have just stayed here and bought a few glasses instead of trying tastings at other vineyards!”
