It’s 5 o’clock somewhere and in Fredericksburg, it’s 5 o’clock all the time. This is our little version of ‘wine country’. There are over 50 wineries in this small town and I got to try some of the most famous.
I suggest renting yourself and your gal pals a party bus so you don’t have to uber/DD everywhere and it saves you money!
Barons Creek Vineyard
Our first stop was to Barons Creek Vineyard.
If you’re looking for a vibe that is relaxed and serene, then BC Vineyards is the place for you. Everything is so clean and gorgeous here!
Our tasting consisted of 2 options: red or white (I am a white wine gal myself). Each with about 5-6 different wines to taste. The sweet bartender even gave us a free tasting of their famous NV Sweet Dreams port, which was so sweet and delicious I bought a bottle.
Peep the picture to the left for reference! $38 for those who don’t like red wines, but love a sweet taste!
Of course, every winery has a “wine club”, many of which I almost signed up for so just make sure you sign up for the wines you love the most!

Safari Winery
Up next is Safari Winery! This was my personal favorite, as the wines were all amazing.
Yes, I did end up buying a membership here.
Also, credits to my girl Julia for doing a cute little video of us enjoying our first tasting at Safari.
If you’re wanting a laid back, yet fun experience then I suggest Safari.
My top wines were Safari White (12/10), Moscato (11/10), Sweet Red (10/10), and the Late Harvest (13/10).
Our server was so fun, he really made the experience more enjoyable! I do recommend getting yourself a cheese board after the first winery, because you are going to feel snacky. Cheers!

Fat Ass Ranch & Winery
Fat Ass Ranch is popular for their Peach Wine- which I can agree that it is absolutely one of my favorite wines I’ve ever tasted.
I would describe FAR as a place for college students to come and hang out while enjoying some wine on a friendly budget. The donkeys outside, also give the place a little more fun!
If you want to go taste this fun wine, it’s just $10 per person here! The membership here is a little different from the others.
