Obsessed with this wine shop (they also curate some interesting beers), which makes it feel like you're sitting in France. They also serve a very limited food menu- don't miss the whiskey bread pudding.

A wonderful little museum, you can get an idea of what life was like when Fredericksburg was originally settled, including historic homes, school, and barn. Plan to spend an hour here. Great for all ages, but they also have things geared towards kiddos to keep them entertained.

Getting around
Hire a driver!
We do have Uber and Lyft available, but if you're planning on visiting several wineries, a private car service or shuttle is great! Check out Creekstreet Wine Tours, Smooth Cruzin, or Brooke's Bubble Bus. Or you can affordably hop onto the 290 Wine Shuttle. Fredericksburg roads are well patrolled by our police, so also plan a ride ahead if you plan to drink!
