About Messina Hof Hill Country Winery
Messina Hof Hill Country is the Fredericksburg outpost of one of Texas's most established and recognizable wine brands. The Bonarrigo family founded Messina Hof in Bryan-College Station in 1977, making it one of the state's earliest modern wineries, and the Hill Country location extends their reach into the heart of Texas wine tourism.
The Fredericksburg tasting room sits along US-290 and offers the full range of Messina Hof wines, from their popular Paulo series to reserve Cabernets and dessert wines. The experience includes guided tastings, wine-and-food pairings, and access to wines that span the breadth of what Texas viticulture can produce.
The property includes a bed-and-breakfast component, making it one of the few Texas wineries where visitors can taste, dine, and stay overnight in a single location. This overnight option is particularly appealing for visitors making a weekend of the Hill Country wine trail.
