A wine tasting on a ranch in the Texas outback. A driver will shuttle you to meet exotic animals on a private, behind the scenes tour.
About this event
Much of the tour is not wheelchair accessible, unfortunately as a farm/ranch our areas are gravel or grass so parts of the garden may be missed if the wheelchair can’t cross gravel. Email us and we can work to provide you with a private tour or make arrangements in advance. FARM TOUR
Enjoy Award Winning Wines on a working ranch deep in the Texas Outback. Come and visit Grapetown Vineyard and Farm in Fredericksburg Texas and get a behind-the scenes look at the complex operations and interactions of a working farm! The tour starts at the Historic Bankersmith Dance Hall and Saloon. Before your wine tasting, and depending upon the size of the group a private driver will shuttle you via ATV, or in our classic Land Rover Defender or our John Deere Hay Wagon on a behind the scenes tour of our exotic wildlife and ranch operations. You will see and feed exotic animals like Camels, Zebras, Alpacas, Bison and Longhorn! We also raise Boer, Ponies, Nigerian Dwarf, African Pygmy and Saanen Dairy Goats, and even some Donkeys.
Please be on time, and by that we mean EARLY for your TOUR. We cannot wait on you, as it holds up the entire group!
