Stay at Absolute Charm AirBNB
After driving into town (cue the playlist packed with girl-power anthems), we arrived at Absolute Charm, our VRBO. Think cozy meets chic—this place was Insta-worthy at every angle. With its charming decor and perfect location in the heart of Fredericksburg, it was the ideal spot to unwind after a day of wine tasting. Bonus points for the comfy beds because, let’s be honest, no one wants to wake up with a wine headache and a crick in their neck.

Take a Wine Tour
What’s a girls’ trip to Fredericksburg without a wine tour, am I right? We mapped out a solid plan to hit four wineries that gave us a perfect blend of red, white, and everything in between.
Grape Creek Vineyards
We started off at Grape Creek Vineyards, aka “Tuscany in Texas.” The sprawling vineyards and Mediterranean-style buildings made us feel like we had been transported straight to Italy (minus the 14-hour flight). The wines? Chef’s kiss. We may or may not have joined the wine club. I mean, when in Rome…or Fredericksburg.
Heath Sparkling Wines
Next up, we made a beeline for Heath Sparkling Wines. Because nothing says “girls’ weekend” quite like bubbly. And let me tell you, these sparklers did not disappoint. The tastings were paired with some of the fanciest little bites, and it felt like we were living our best champagne-sipping, luxe-lifestyle dreams.
Invention Vineyards
Invention Vineyards brought out our inner wine connoisseurs (OK, more like casual tasters, but still). This winery had some inventive blends, and each sip was like a pleasant surprise. We debated the notes of oak, berries, and…I don’t know, magic? My favorite is their red RB wine. It was a fun and unique stop on our tour.
Kuhlman Estate
Last but definitely not least, Kuhlman Estate. This place oozes laid-back charm. We loved the intimate atmosphere, and the tiny food pairing with the wine tastings was a total game changer. It’s hard to describe just how good the wine was—let’s just say we didn’t leave without bottles in hand.

Breakfast
For breakfast, we headed to Sunset Grill, which quickly became our new favorite brunch spot. The coffee was strong (thank goodness), and the food was comfort on a plate. I highly recommend their huevos rancheros if you’re into starting your day with a kick. Plus, the name says it all—you couldn’t pick a more perfect spot for soaking up that Texas sunshine.
Lunch
If you join the wine club at any of the four wineries I mentioned then you have access to Stouts their private restaurant next to Grape Creek Vineyards. They have an amazing charcuterie board. Basically, everything we had there was fabulous and the staff was lovely.
Dinner
Dinner was spent at Traveler’s Table Collection, where the food was just as delightful as the ambiance. This spot has a global fusion menu that took us on a culinary adventure—everything from charcuterie boards to decadent entrees that were seriously drool-worthy. We ended the night feeling fancy and full (the best combo).
Shop ‘Til You Drop
No girls’ trip is complete without some retail therapy, and Fredericksburg’s boutique scene is top-tier. We wandered in and out of stores, each more charming than the last. Whether you’re in the market for unique home decor, vintage finds, or cute clothing, you’ll find it all here. Just be warned, your credit card might get a workout!

Visit a Swanky Bar
We also popped into Brooke’s Bubble Bar for a little shopping and sips situation. Who knew sipping a mimosa while perusing cute accessories was the key to happiness? I originally thought we would need a reservation in advance but this wasn’t the case, we walked right in. If it is too busy, head across the street to Six Twists.
Wildseed Farms
Between sipping and shopping, we took a scenic detour to Wildseed Farms. If you love flowers, this place will blow your mind—it’s the largest working wildflower farm in the country. Even if you’re not into plants, the stunning fields are worth the visit. Plus, the gift shop was perfect for grabbing a few souvenirs to remind us of our Fredericksburg escape.
