Fredericksburg
Winery was named by U.S.A. Today as one of the top
three wineries in Texas. The Fredericksburg Winery is located
in a 10,600 square foot facility on Main Street in Fredericksburg.
The actual wine production is done here. Please note a winery
is where you make wine, a vineyard is where you
grow grapes. Vineyards are farms whose crops happen to be grapes.
(Refer to the section Wine Terms What They Really Mean
or Wine Terms Without the Pooh-Pooh on this site). Wineries
and vineyards are not mutually exclusive nor mutually inclusive
but the vast majority of vineyards do not repeat do not
have wineries. By the same token some wineries do not have vineyards.
This concept is for the most part worldwide not just Texas,
in California there are more than 20,000 vineyards but only
a little more than 2000 wineries. |
