“My bestie and I decided to drive out to Fredericksburg to enjoy a tasting to celebrate our birthdays and wanted to try something new. We chose William Chris because of the news of this winery making the list of 50 best wineries, and we can see how it’s a well deserved accolade. The winery is beautiful. The wines are stellar. The service was excellent and over the top. We were treated quite special and it was an easy choice to join the William Chris wine club. Marco, our wine educator, went above and beyond to make our afternoon the best possible for our special day. It was the perfect afternoon to spend with my mom, my daughter, her bestie and my bestie. We are excited to come back and experience all that the winery has to offer. Thank you, Marco and the entire team. Thank you also to Amber, for helping make this a special visit. We even got to meet both Chris and William (Bill). It was such a treat.”

“First time ever visiting this place and let me tell you it is amazing. Beautiful property, amazing wines, but their staff really made the experience worth it. Bryce was amazing at explaining the wine flights and how to pair it with the food and Fransisco was so friendly and hands on. Truly blown away and can’t wait to come back soon.”

“We had the best experience at William Chris Winery! Mary was our sommelier, and she was such a sweet angel—so kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the wines and the story behind the winery. She made the tasting feel personal and special, and we loved learning more about each pour from her. The winery itself is beautiful and welcoming, and we especially appreciated how they advocate for and support the military. That meant a lot to us. Everything from the atmosphere to the wine was top-notch. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!”

“Absolutely beautiful. Every structure from the partially covered open style bar to the indoor wine tasting room was immaculate. Servers and greeters were on point and attentive. Incredible place to enjoy any type of occasion from casual wine tasting, to bridal showers, to dates with significant others and partners. Grade A winery.”

“Jillian was an excellent host for our chef’s table wine tasting! Super friendly, knowledgeable, and we had a wonderful time celebrating a special occasion. Would definitely come back and recommend to others!”
