Looking to escape the city for a day filled with rolling vineyards, luxury tastings, and unforgettable memories? The Fredericksburg Wine Tour Bus from Austin Party Bus delivers all that and more, with zero stress and all the fun.

Why Fredericksburg Is So Special

Fredericksburg is a charming, German-influenced town and the crown jewel of Texas wine country. With over 50 wineries, scenic vineyards, gourmet restaurants, and a welcoming small-town vibe, it's become a favorite escape for wine lovers across the state. You'll find award-winning varietals, from bold Texas reds to crisp whites and sparkling rosés, many of which rival those found in Napa or Sonoma. But unlike California's wine regions, Fredericksburg offers it all with a healthy dose of Texas charm, a slower pace, and much friendlier prices.
