The lady who did our tasting was full of so much information and knowledge it was incredible. We learned all about the Bingham family and the wines they have. It was truly enjoyable. I rate this as one of the best wine experiences I've had. Now it's been a few months since I was there so maybe this is fixed but when we got our bill, I gave my credit card to her and she came back with the receipt... there was nowhere to tip!! No line to add a tip anywhere. Just the total charged. I didn't have any cash on me and my mother was already down the street when I paid so I couldn't get cash from her. I've been mortified ever since and swear when I go back I'm tipping that lady triple!! Yes I could have gone back later on in the evening to remedy the situation but the wine was really kicking in after a while and my motivation to walk all the way back there was gone. Just know I'm still mortified on the tipping and will make it right the next time I go in!!! read less

I really liked several of the wines, my favorite was the Cloudburst. Service was acceptable, but there was definitely some brusque answers to a member of our party that had some questions. Usually when you're doing a tasting, wineries are happy to answer a few questions but that wasn't the vibe given. Tables are only available if reserved. read less

So glad we found this spot. The wine was amazing, but William made it even more so. His charm and friendliness made us feel at home immediately, and he explained all the wines in a way no one else could. Don't hesitate coming by! read less

Add this place to your list of wineries to visit. The tasting room is fantastic. Mary was able to accommodate us on short notice for a tasting. William was an amazing sommelier with great pairing suggestions. To top it off, we met Mr. and Mrs. Bingham who just happened to be there that morning. They were both so kind and friendly. Oh, and the wines are great! In particular, the Dugout, Merlot, and Mourvedre. An excellent experience. Reservations are highly recommend. read less

Really enjoyed tasting a lot of different wines here! I strongly recommend asking for Deborah. Sorry if I misspelled it. She is super knowledgeable and has a great personality!!

We were able to get a table without having a reservation (but I see where one would be helpful). Our waiter was very knowledgeable on their wine selection. We did a tasting and it was nice because they had the tastings sorted by taste so you just told them what you liked and they had a list already made. We didn't feel rushed or anything and the waiter was very talkative, but in a good way! Constantly making us laugh! Very enjoyable and we will definitely be back! We even bought a couple bottles for later on! There is a boutique style store also for shopping and souvenirs. Beautiful building and grounds and a must for anyone visiting Fredericksburg!! You can't miss it, there's huge flags flying by the road and a mannequin waving a sign! read less

Having supplied many wineries with their quality grapes, it is not uncommon to see Bingham as the source vineyard on Texas wine labels. This multigenerational family has roots in Texas farming that goes back to the early 1900s. Cotton, peanuts, black-eyed peas, and sesame seeds have and continue to be part of their agricultural heritage. They started the process in the 1990s to be certified organic. In 2003 they planted their first grapevines of Viognier and Gewürztraminer. That has since grown to over 200 acres of 25+ varieties of grapes. About seventy five percent of their grape harvest goes to various wineries throughout Texas. It is interesting to see how different winemakers at wineries make their wine, even with the same source and vintage, ultimately still tasting uniquely their own, which is a nod to the ever-diverse creativity going on among wineries. Bingham Vineyards keeps about 10% of the grape harvest for their own wine production, with the rest going out for sale as bulk wine. Wine production is kept small to craft quality boutique wines. They made their first Bingham bottle in 2014 and in 2015 they opened a tasting room in Grapevine, Texas. In 2018, they opened another tasting room on the eastern outskirts of Fredericksburg. We visited the Fredericksburg location and were quite impressed with both the rustic decor and the wines. A lot of reclaimed wood was used in the building construction and with the high ceilings it gives a more inviting and relaxed feel. So, what about their estate wines? Well, they do have an impressive selection that you can choose from. Pick your favorite flight style and you cannot go wrong. There is literally something for everyone here. For the white wine flight, we started off with the 2019 Trebbiano. The citrus and lemon notes along with light acids really highlighted some of the best flavors of this wine. Roussanne has certainly been making a great strong showing in Texas white wines. Their 2019 vintage has that rich feel and balanced acids that will make you love this sipper. But wait! There is also a 2018 Reserve Roussanne that you must try. With a touch of oak and good vanilla notes combined with that rich, full mouthfeel, we think you might fall in love with this one. Many long time Texas wine fans know how Viognier helped make a strong showing for Texas whites and their 2019 wine is right on the mark. It is a bit softer than some other Texas Viogniers, with a light creaminess. We can see why this 2020 San Francisco Viognier winner stood out. Marsanne is another up and coming white wine in the state and their 2019 release has just the right floral notes combined with the flavors of lemon and pineapple. Texas Roséwines are also seeing increased interest over the last few years and their 2019 Sunset Roséis no exception. Made from Mourvèdre and Carignan, this smooth drinking Roséis a great Texas chiller to refresh your palate with on warm summer days. You will be equally pleased with their reds and the 2018 Turnrow is a great starter. Made with Mourvèdre, Dolcetto, Carignan, and Tempranillo, you might be asking where is that artisan pizza at to pair with it. Like Carignan? They have great 2018 vintage that is both smooth with a hint of spice. Tempranillo is certainly the "big" red grape that helped put Texas on the wine map and their 2018 release is on par with good Texas Temps. It is full bodied with lots of rich plums to envelope your palate. Their 2017 reserve Tempranillio as some earthy undertones, is rich in blackberry fruit and has a great long finish. The single varietal 2018 Dolcettois bold with big intense fruit aromas. They also have a good Bordeaux style blend made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. This 2017 Bordeaux style blend called Dugout, named after their family's original homestead heritage, is quite well balanced, has a smooth feel, rich berries, moderate acids, and a good lingering finish. It made a great showing at the 2020 San Francisco as a gold medal winner! For the sweets, do checkout the 2019 Moscato Giallo It has just the right lushness on the nose and that silky, citrus feel that puts the yum in every drop. You should not leave without trying the Fine 'n Dandy sweet red. As a nod to Eddie Bingham, this light red wine has some pecan flavors to it for that added delight. This is a great tasting room to visit. The staff will make you feel warm and welcomed. Additionally, the team in the tasting room are quite knowledgeable and will even have some excellent pairing suggestions. The price points on the wines are quite affordable, so stock up. Visit, stay, and enjoy! read less
