I booked a wine tour with Rex and 19th Hole Wine Tours for my baby sister’s bachelorette party this past weekend. There were 11 of us girls and everyone agreed the tour and Rex were fantastic! From first contact Rex as helpful and professional. He recommended wineries that were good for our size group and that would have great photo ops (a very important thing for our bride to be). The sandwich shop Rex got us lunch from was delicious as well. On the tour Rex was personable and full of information. The tour bus was clean and professional inside and out. I hadn't been to Fredericksburg in about 9 years and so much had changed. The main street was bigger with more places to shop and eat and according to Rex, there were ten times the amount of wineries (from 6 to 60)! We started with Pedernales, which is a personal favorite of mine because the wine is delicious and the place is calm and classy with a great porch area. Here the tasting was fixed and we all tasted the same 8 wines. Rex secured us a private tasting room here and we got to keep the glasses which was nice. Next we went to 4.0 Cellars (a Rex recommended stop) which had a bunch a great tasting options. I also learned that this winery gets wines from 3 different wine makers and changes its selection menus monthly. We had lunch here in the beautiful outdoor space where there was live music. The next stop at Southold Farm and Cellar was everyone's favorite by far though. This was recommended by Rex for its spectacular views and it did not disappoint! Located at the top of a high hill, this small single room tasting house had the best view and ambiance of any winery I have ever been to. The tasting room had large windows on every wall giving great views during our tasting. The wine maker’s father did our tasting and told endearing stories about the family and the wine making. The wines were not my cup of tea for the most part, but I always like to try new types of wine. Oh and the dog there is amazing. His name is Waldo and he was happy to pose for all the photos we wanted with him. The back porch here has several porch swings faced toward the best views in Fredericksburg. Southold is a must see! Finally, we went Fat Ass Winery and Ranch, a selection of mine. The wine here was not good in my opinion, but if you want a lively party this is the place to be! The atmosphere is upbeat and full of life. No sniffing the bouquet or wine spit buckets at Fat Ass. No way! I did like their frozen wine though. Book a tour with Rex and 19th Hole Wine Tours and you cannot go wrong!
