I visited with my adult children. The tour guide was most informative and entertaining with the information that he provided. We stayed for two flights of additional tastings. The environment was sweet and homey and the staff was pleasant and informativeA "must do"
$12.50 for a tour and tasting. Great group experience. Some of my guests were tired and retired to the bar area for nibbles and wine. The other half trooped along to the vineyards and barrel room followed by a tasting in the gift shop back room. Quaint atmosphere. Interesting and entertaining tour and demo. Plenty of room to sit.Tasting includes a wine glass. Cheese plate nibble was delicious. Most of my group preferred the port. Especially the recommendation to mix it in brownie mix instead if the water and bake. They thought that was grand!Narrow country roads. So go slow and don't miss the entrance. Like we did in a motor coach! Luckily it was a weekday and the driver was able to back up to entrance since there was no space to turn around. Cheers!
The winery has excellent wines and terrific personnel. The winery is easy to get to from Fredericksburg, close to Austin and San Antonio; well worth the drive!
Customer service is good, wines are good. We are waiting to try to bed and breakfast combo. The hubby and I do love their wine tho :-)
My son 22 and I went for the wine tasting and tour as part of my birthday celebration weekend. Our tour guide was excellent! We purchased a glass of wine to take with us on the tour. The antiques in the Villa are spectacular. It was awesome to see the vines that produce the grapes they harvest for their PORT. We learned very interesting information about the history of their vineyard. We tasted 4 wines and had a marvelous time! Their wine bar is very interesting. We plan to return and eat at their restaurant on my next visit to College Station.
Messina Hof is a fine family run winery where I tried several of their gems. The pinot noir and cab were my favorites. The GHW/Bush Merlot had a nice nose and good taste.
We live in the same town and love taking visitors there for a touch of elegance served up with Southern Hospitality any time we have eaten there it has been a good experience all around. Our favorite is, however, the turtle pond in the back and they give you free turtle food to lure the little cuties up to the deck you stand on ( you can also eat back there) and they bring us great joy☺️. The people in the gift shop are equally pleasant and fun to visit with. Come check it out and relaxe with the surroundings
Very informative wine tasting. Awesome wine selection! We especially loved the tour of the grounds and explanation for novice wine drinkers
A quiet Sunday lunch accompanied by Michael Buble music softly playing, served by a friendly and attentive waiter. The snapper was cooked to perfection and the asparagus seasoned and cooked just right! Did I mention the wine tasting? Wonderful What a delightful way to spend Sunday with a very significant other.
Spent done time here to enjoy the Messina Hof wines and take some family pictures. Bar staff was very friendly and made some good suggestions. I especially enjoyed the reserve Pinot noir. Wonderful, actually.
