The Fredericksburg area of Texas is a wine tourism destination. There are enough wineries to visit and taste wines that you need more than a day or even a weekend. You can easily spend a week in the region. To fully encounter the wine tourism experience, spend your nights at a winery. Messina Hof Winery<\/a> offers lodging behind the tasting room facility.<\/p>\n

The individual cabins at Messina Hof, Fredericksburg offer spacious accommodations and a perfect base for exploring Texas Hill Country wineries. The cabins are set back in a wooded area. Four cabins offer luxury accommodations. There is a living room area with sofa and chairs. The wide hallway has a sink, microwave, small refrigerator and coffee maker. A table and chairs seat two. A\u00a0 finger-licking coffee cake is on the table in a cake keeper. The refrigerator contains cream, milk, water, wine and fruit cocktail. Two breakfast cereals, Cheerios and raisin bran are in glass containers on the kitchenette counter. There is a coffee maker that grinds coffee beans. Adjacent to the kitchen area is the bathroom.<\/p>\n

At the end of the hallway, a door leads into a spacious bedroom. Our room had a king-size bed. There is a television with satellite television and a chair. This is a large room and you do not need to crawl over other people to reach any part of the room. Outside the room, through sliding glass doors, there is a back deck. There is also a deck in the front of the cabin.<\/p>\n

Not only plenty of space, the cabins are extremely quiet. The cabins are about ten miles from the downtown area of Fredericksburg. Between Messina Hof and Fredericksburg there are a number of winery tasting rooms to visit. In the immediate area of Messina Hof there are a dozen wineries. To the east, towards Johnson City, there are even more wineries to visit. Most of the wineries have entrances from Rt. 290. You can easily spend a week in the area exploring wineries and taking in the culture of Fredericksburg. Check winery websites for hours they are open. Some are closed on different weekdays.<\/p>\n

Relaxation, comfort and a wine experience await your stay at Messina Hof in Fredericksburg. A small vineyard of Lenoir is in front of the tasting room facility.<\/p>\n

Cheers,
