5.00Today, we celebrated my sister’s birthday. This experience was fun, relaxing and definitely worth attending. Blanca was great as our tour guide! Andy was great during our tractor ride! Geoffrey the Giraffe was the highlight of our tour for sure — the best part! Great experience! We will return for sure !!

5.00They have an amazing variety of animals and all are really well taken care of! Part of the ticket is just knowing your money goes to maintaining such a cool animal habitat. The tour was very fun and low key. I've been to many zoo's, but I've never been so close to so many exotic animals.
We had a lot of fun

5.00Great place, great environment and great hospitality! Would go back in a heartbeat. Super comfortable team and the animal part was the icing on the cake. My only recommendation would be to sell small “prepackaged small bite plates/charcuterie” !
Interesting "Safari" Experience

4.00This is a tour of a private collection of animals, some very not native to Texas. You are able to get up close and feed some of the animals. It had rained all day so it was very muddy and messy. Our guide seemed pretty knowledgeable for a person with only on the job training in caring for these animals. Most the animals seem to have good areas to roam but are definitely very domesticated. Not sure if there's conservation of animals going on as much as a person's hobby to collect animals. The wine tasting was so so. We were the only ones. Our guide (same one caring for the animals), told us about each wine in the flight and then went on his way. It was the end of the day, so I think they were ready to close up shop. We didn't linger too long.
Safari fun

5.00Everyone was so nice! Beautiful place! We loved it! They have a variety of animals some you can feed and some not. Be aware the meeting point is not where the tour starts. Bankersmith is where you check in but then drive a little further to the tour.
Unforgettable Experience!

5.00Me and my husband's trip to Grapetown Vineyards far exceeded our expectations! Not only was the wine and live music fantastic, but the animals were super engaging! Geoffrey, the giraffe, was the superstar we knew he would be, but it was the cows who stole the spotlight when we were on safari! Lastly, the entire staff was beyond amazing! Everyone was so kind and was the perfect example of "southern hospitality!" We cannot wait to come back!

4.00Fun couple of hours feeding farm animals and wine tasting. Staff is great, wine and beer, short drive from Fredericksburg
Avoid Fredericksburg TX!

1.00Fredericksburg is hands down the most unfriendly town to tourists. We found the locals to be very rude if your vehicle sported an out of state license plate. Defiantly will never be returning to this area to pump my money into the economy. I recommend to avoid this area altogether. If this is how all Texans act then I want nothing to do with Texas. You can have it!
