We visited several wineries while in the area and this was by far our favorite. Every glass poured for us was delicious! If you're going to do a wine club I HIGHLY recommend this one...I haven't been disappointed yet!
Enjoyed a day with friends trying out wineries in the area. I really enjoyed visiting Fiesta Winery! I usually do not enjoy sweet wines, however I fell in love with some of theirs! They have such a wide variety of wines that anyone can find something they like to drink! I took home a bottle of their Rhinestone Cowgirl -Sweet Rose Wine (a malbec blend) and their Tempranillo, which was delicious! I can't wait to see their new outdoor area completed. Also our wine hostess was to sweet! She really interacted with us, gave us a lot of information about the wines and the wine club! Can't wait to come back! The drive out is beautiful by the way.
The staff was helpful and friendly. The wine however is much sweeter than my husband and I prefer. I even told the woman doing the tasting that I wasn't a fan of sweet. She tried to gauge my taste which was very helpful, but their wines are pretty sweet and seem "thin."
We went on a hill country wine tour and found this quaint winery. The wines were great and the tasting room was one of the nicest in the region. The Baxter family will instantly make you feel at home and ready to come back again.
We visited the winery on a recent Saturday. The weather was beautiful so we were able to sit outside for our wine tasting. The woman who helped us was so personable. It's hard to have a bad day sitting under a large oak tree sipping wine with friends. We will definitely go back!
If you are into sweet wines, you might just be in heaven here. They have wines that taste like a margarita, wines with chocolate and peach flavors in them. If thats your thing, check them out. Otherwise, id probably skip it, though the staff is nice and the property is beautiful
The Fiesta Winery is one of the highlights of the Texas Wine Country trail. We visited there several times lately, including having a picnic lunch (BYO) outside on their patio overlooking the vineyard- accompanied by a bottle of their fine wine. Remember! Texas wines tend to be on the sweet side, but if that's what you like- you'll love this little gem- tucked away in the countryside near the small town of Lometa. Summers can be hot, but Spring and late Fall are excellent times for a wine trail tour of Central Texas. GPS this one in - 18927 W. FM580, Lometa, Texas. The owners, Stephen and Sally Baxter, also have a wine tasting location at the resort town of Fredericksburg, which is another great stop.
We enjoyed our visit tasting wines here. There was one sample that I did not like at all and the staff let me replace it with a different type of wine. Now that is excellent customer service!
We tasted a number of wines from the area over our 2 days of travel and Fiesta's were by far our favorites. We had so much fun sitting on the back porch of this beautiful winery and doing a tasting and then enjoying glasses of our favorite wines. The only trouble was picking which ones to take home.
There is a story here at Fiesta Winery in Lometa…a BIG TEXAS SIZE FAMILY STORY!! The 600 acres on which the vineyards and winery reside have been in Steve Baxter’s family for 6 generations! Steve and Sally, their son, daughter-in-law, daughter, and son-in-law planted the vineyards only 4 years ago and opened the winery 3 years back. They all take a very active part in running the business that produces 10,000 – 15,000 cases per year. The tasting room is very nicely decorated with barrel tables and high-top chairs, allowing for folks to relax, drink some wine and chat. The patio out back has an expansive view of the ranch and welcomes you to kick back and stay a while. Steve and Sally give a pretty informative tour also. Oh! Don’t forget to check out the bathroom…way cute!!! This place makes us think of a lazy country get-together beggin’ to happen! They also have two tasting rooms, a little closer to the general population, one on Main Street in Fredericksburg (see our review) and one on Highway 290. All tasting rooms serve the same great wine! Here is our hint to you – go visit them all! Each have their own flare, personality and fun. Drop us a comment below letting us know if you visit one or all of their locations and tell us what you thought.Happy Trails!
