Went today to P/U our Fall/Winter wine order since missing the pickup party due to weather. With much delight, Brenna was our pourer and information specialist for each of the tastings. Her effervescent personality and details to the blend of each wine made out brief stay fun and enjoyable.
For those who enjoy a glass(or two)Pedernales Cellars should be your first tasting in the Fredericksburg area. Situated on an expansive sloping hill, its an enjoyable place to sit, relax and expand your pallet with the variety of wines. Especially in the summer months their events should be on your calendar right now.
A great time again.

Pedestals Cellars was by far the best winery we saw in the Fredericksburg area. The wine was outstanding, the atmosphere was exceptional, and the presentation by Erik was superb. The vibe and view alone would have me returning, but the wines really are the best - full of complex favors and diverse blends. Try them on your next trip to Fredericksburg. Plan to stay for several hours to do a tasting and just enjoy the total vibe. The property is a little off the beaten path but well worth the trip.

While visiting friends in Austin we paid a visit to Pedernales Cellars, a family-run boutique winery, in the Texas hill country. As they were members of this vineyard wine club, upon arrival we bypassed the tasting room and were escorted by a very knowledgeable and friendly young lady, to the small wine members club building. Where sitting in the shaded of its small covered patio, we enjoyed a bottle or two of their Texas-made tempranillo.
The view is quite spectacular, as most of their 140 acres overlook the graceful sweeping surrounding hill country.
There is a pick-nick area under the trees, with iron tables and chairs.
TIP: This is a great place to take the whole family as there is lots of room for the
children to play.

My teenage daughter, her best friend and my best friend who happens to be my daughter's best friend's Mom took a girls day trip to Fredericksburg for lunch and shopping. It was a great day eating lunch, shopping, and getting fresh air. We all understand we are still in a COVID environment with social distancing. Outside walking the street some people were free of masks and some people were wearing masks. Trying to be normal outside. However, in the stores everyone wore masks since the shops are smaller. On our way home we stopped at Pedernales Cellars as I remember enjoying their wine during a wine tasting several years ago with my friend. Usually, they are closed when I visit Fredericksburg so was happy they were open. We approached the main building and they had two tables outside, where they were transacting business. Our group was at least 20 feet from the stand outside where people were placing their orders. There were two groups purchasing wine at the tables. Remember, we are outside. An employee loudly pointed to our group and told us we needed to put masks on. We put our masks on even though we were not near anyone. However, he shouted loudly a second time that we did not put on our masks correctly. Like he invented the mask placement policy? Not sure why we continued to purchase wine, since we were being treated poorly from a rude person. Apparently, they are too uppity to sell their wine to the public.
We will not be spending money at Pedernales again. There are over 90 wineries in the area with nice staff, where we would rather spend money.

Visited here post-COVID reopening, so we were aware of the social distancing requirements. As a group of friends, we made reservations and arrived on time. We were literally the only group in the tasting room and there was only one other group out on the patio. Our attendant was completely disinterested in us and acted like we were a bother when we asked any questions or tried to have a friendly conversation. However, the wine was very good and we bought 6 bottles and an another full glass each, after which we were directed to drink our wine outside. We took a few photos and settled at a table on the patio, far away from the other group. Moments later, a young woman ran up to us and said patio tables were for reserved tastings only and said, “you can go sit on those rocks out there and drink your wine.” Really? There were 3 cars in the parking lot and we had just spent over $300 in wine and you can’t let us sit on a mostly empty patio for 15 minutes? We will not be visiting here again or drinking your wine, no matter how good it is. We relayed this information to another winery we visited and the staff there were also horrified at our treatment at Pedernales.

We went here 5 years ago and were really impressed with what they were doing at Pedernales. This time, they appear to have lost their way. The wines were average at best. Taste was lackluster and the nose was pretty much lackadaisical. As I’ve stated before, my opinion is mine and mine alone. If you are looking for a tempranillo, you probably should at least give them a shot. They have won a lot of awards for that particular wine, but I didn’t see it on this trip. Our wine host appeared to be bored for most of our visit (even though we were the only ones in the tasting room). We did meet the winemaker and had a pleasant conversation regarding her experience and what her expectations of the wine were. Maybe next time!

I am sorry that your experience this time did not match your previous one. It sounds like you met Joanna, and I am glad that you had that opportunity. We are currently pouring the 2016 Tempranillo Reserve, however, we do make a number of different tempranillos. I hope you do return.

Go there about 2 times a year from Houston for several years now. This last weekend we visited and found the front door is now a no entry because they have placed plants in front. They have a side entrance where a hostess is outside waiting to take your name and asks if we have been there before. It was like dont go inside we will bring it out to you. She asked for my name and I was in the system and she said you order so and so and I said yes. She then said would you like to reorder the same I said. She said, we will bring it out to you. Like not wanting you to enter establishment because of wine tastings going on. I wont be going back. Not welcoming, only there for you $.

Such a fantastic winery! All the wines we tasted were really nice and enjoyable! Kyle did a great job with our tasting and really let us enjoy the wine without pressuring us to drink quickly or rushing us. The view and property were gorgeous. It was so worth it.

Even though we didn't have reservations, they were able to work us in for a tasting. The wine is great, the staff is friendly, and the tasting room has a beautiful view. I would recommend visiting but do try to make a reservation as they are trying to distance people and stay Covid safe.

My fiancé and I drove out to taste wines for our wedding dinner. We were very disappointed to be turned away, 45 minutes before their closing time due, even though not busy, to their rules of not serving guests for tastings less than one hour before closing.
Disappointed, we left to search for other Texas wines suitable for our wedding.

If you book with one of the local wine tour companies, it is possible to be picked up at your hotel and driven to Pedernales Cellars as well as other local wineries. It is also possible to buy at ticket and get on the 290 Wine Shuttle at the Convention and Visitor Bureau at 302 E. Austin Street in Fredericksburg. Since one of our owners is Swedish, I would love to know where you are traveling from to visit the Texas Hill Country. We look forward to your visit.
