I love coming here. We make a point to come a couple times a year from Austin. The best customer service, unique atmosphere and the best wine in Fredericksburg. Love love love ❤️
Don't miss this amazing establishment! The building is original to downtown; old, beautiful, cozy, with a small indoor space, a cellar open for seating, and a large outdoor area.
We sat inside and were served by the utterly delightful Karen. Such a sweet heart! She was so knowledgeable about the wines and the history of the vineyard. We enjoyed talking with her and other guests who were visiting the tasting room.
To start with, we sampled the rose, the Sangria, and 3 reds. Sangria lovers run to this place for the most refreshing Sangria you will ever taste. And don't miss the rose! So delicious and smooth. (I left with 2 bottles of it! Ha!)
YES they have food but not just store bought food thrown on a plate! The "Pincic Basket" is all homemade and frankly out of this world delicious! The best pimento cheese ever! Homemade sourdough bread, sugared pecans, and sea salt chocolate chip cookie to die for! No joke! Don't deny your taste buds! (See attached picture of the "picnic basket.")
Thank you, Karen, for being a part of our fabulous and tasty experience at Pontotac. We will be stopping by on our way out of town on Sunday for more bottles to take home with us!
This is a family run business, super cute, chill and very friendly people. The kids and youngsters are welcoming and treating the customers with the sweetest and most professional manner, which are the cutest thing.
The wine tasting flight is good! Very unique flavours, balanced, not too strong, great for the summer. The star of the show was the sangria! Oh my world it was something else - somehow they made a sangria with an explosion of fruity freshness. The best I ever had so far!
We very much enjoyed our Saturday evening at Pontotoc! The sangria, wine flight, and picnic basket were a knockout. I would absolutely come back with a group or date night!
Very, very, VERY charming little yard. Great service and wines. Generous portions of testings. We shared one flight for two, and it was enough. Will definitely come back next time.
Stopped in for two sangrias as recommended by my coworker. So yummy! It’s in a cute little old home run by a family I believe. Chase was helpful in recommending things along Main and sending us off with cute plastic mason jar cups. Also have seating in the cellar if you want. $9/cup! No signage inside though, so without having the recc I wouldn’t have known what they offered or prices.
Wish we could of spent more time here. The patio setting was such a great experience. The different sitting areas also gave it a personal touch!! We loved the sangrias 🙌
The reviews didn’t lie. The taste was awesome. You do have the option to purchase a bottle of it in a glass container! The two gentleman who greeted us were very nice. I wish I would of gotten their names. Overall experience was amazing.
Will come back for round 2! This is a kid friendly place. My kids were walking around and looking at the setting. I would recommend bringing some sort of games to keep them entertained. We had two deck of cards that we enjoyed playing over a delicious cup of sangria!! The wine tasting was great as well. We didn’t get to try the food items as our time was cut short but we want to try it out next time and plan to spend more time there!!
We loved visiting this vineyard today! The wine flight was amazing and the sangria is a must-try. Great customer service, relaxing/beautiful outdoor area, and fantastic wines. The owner is super friendly. I highly recommend checking this place out!
We have two teenagers and the last couple of years many of the wineries in this area only welcome 21+ only. This is crazy, we have been bringing our children to wineries since they were babies. My husband and I would always sit outside with a glass of wine; playing cards, chatting with our kids, and admiring the view.
I called many of the wineries we had enjoyed in the past and they told us teenagers were not welcome anymore, and that is how I ended up calling Pontotoc Weingarten. I had never heard of them, but they said families were welcome and we decided to check them out.
It was a little difficult to locate their Weingarten at first as they are tucked away between 2 larger buildings, but we had no problem finding parking right across the street. I have family from Germany and have visited the country many times, and Pontotoc reminded me of a Weingarten in a small German town. Pontotoc is right off Main St. but didn’t feel like it because of the thick rock walls surrounded the garden. There were plenty of places to sit outside and the small building and location was absolutely lovely. The owner was amazing and suggested the sangria which we tried and it was delicious! I don’t like sweet drinks, but this sangria was very subtly sweetened and had hints of orange and lemon. The wine we tried was also wonderful.
This has been my favorite place to visit for wine in Fredericksburg and we will be back. I can’t wait to try their picnic basket! The best part of the experience was being able to have our teenage boys warmly welcomed. If you want a romantic place to bring your date or a relaxing outside location to sit and visit with your family, make sure you visit Pontotoc Weingarten!
What a great winery/tasting room to visit! I found this location on Google based upon reviews and was not disappointed. We were looking for a kid friendly winery and upon arrival we were pleasantly greeted by the owner, he was hospitable and shared the history of the winery with us. We enjoyed our time and I enjoyed my tastings in the beautiful Weingarten. They kindly brought over games to entertain the kids.
The sangria was good and probably my favorite even amongst the tastings. I would definitely recommend stopping by for a visit.
