SKYE Estates Vineyard in the Texas Hill Country
Estate wines grown, poured and enjoyed without leaving the property — 23 acres with 11 under vine, just outside your door.
Upcoming Wine Tastings
This isn’t a quick pour. Our tastings are relaxed, convivial experiences that last 60 to 90 minutes. We guide you through each wine, sharing the stories behind the grape varieties, our vineyard, and the winemaking process, with charcuterie and fine cheeses alongside. It’s quite unlike the typical wine tasting you’ll find in Fredericksburg.

SKYE Texas Hill Country Resort · Fredericksburg, TX
SKYE Estates Vineyard in the Texas Hill Country
In the Hill Country, wine is usually something you drive out to find. At SKYE, it’s where you stay. The resort is built around a working estate vineyard — the vines are right outside your door.
We planted them in 2021, brought in our first harvest in 2024, and released our first vintage in April 2025. Wake up among the vines, and taste exactly what they became.
SKYE Estates Vineyard is a working vineyard located within SKYE Texas Hill Country Resort. Vineyard experiences and wine tastings are available exclusively to registered resort guests, by prior arrangement. We are not currently open to the general public for walk-in tours or tastings.

The Tour
The Pour
Discover the wines of SKYE Estates Vineyard in a relaxed, convivial setting, with generous pours and beautiful views of the vineyard beyond. Our wine tastings are quite different from those typically offered at commercial wineries. Personally hosted, informative, and above all social, they bring together a small group of resort guests to enjoy our wines, learn about the vineyard and the grape varieties, and perhaps make a few new friends along the way. Wine tastings are offered exclusively to guests of SKYE Texas Hill Country Resort, by prior arrangement, and are separate from our vineyard tours. To preserve the intimate and convivial nature of these gatherings, minimum and maximum participation requirements apply.
Harvest
Picked and sorted here, then pressed just down the road with our partners in Stonewall. Our first full harvest came in 2024.
Vineyard
Our 23 acres include 11 under vine, planted on a gentle slope for drainage. We planted the first vines in 2021, and our first full harvest came in 2024.
Golden Hour
When the sun drops behind the vines, the whole property glows — and you’re already home.
Only in Texas, Only Here
Exclusive Sawtelle Sake
A one-of-a-kind Japanese-inspired sake seltzer — carbonated and made with rice, herbal tea, fresh citrus, and Japanese rock sugar. The resort offers four flavors: Yuzu Chamomile, Hibiscus Ginger, Spirulina Citrus, and Ube Dragon Fruit.
The Spirulina Citrus won Best Consumers’ Choice at the 2025 American Craft Sake Festival. SKYE is the only place in Texas you’ll find it.
Beyond the Property
Touring the rest of the region
There are more than fifty wineries across the Hill Country. When you want to see them, you still don’t have to drive.
We partner with Texas Wine Tours in Fredericksburg. They run wine, beer and spirits tours, private group outings and bachelorette trips in step-up coaches, with pick-up and drop-off right here at SKYE.
Tours are booked directly through Texas Wine Tours.
Why guests keep coming back
“The Skye wine, in all types, is so delicious and a fabulous added bonus to any stay. Such a hidden gem that should be enjoyed by all!”
Erin Moye
“Between the pool, hot tub, golf cart rental for exploring the off-road trails, and even enjoying pizza onsite and wine from their own vineyards, there was never a dull moment.”
A Simkins
“We especially loved the on-site wine tasting with the owner and the stargazing event with a guide—it was magical.”
