singing water vineyards

When we arrived in Comfort, it was cold and gray and looked like rain. We decided to visit a couple vineyards/wineries nearby. We were blown away by the beautiful interior, grounds and Lauren at this establishment. Sure, it was gloomy outside, but Lauren and the wonderful glasses of wine we had out on the deck made up for it! My husband and daughter are in the Navy so it was nice to see they have a patriotic room to remember our military. They even offer a discount to military folks. That won our hearts. Lauren is such a sweet person that she would have won our hearts even without the military aspect. Both together was a bonus. We visited this place twice on our short trip just because of the wonderful ambiance, military appreciation and Lauren. We can't wait to come back in the spring/summer to sit outside. I have to note that Lauren pointed us to a couple other wineries on 290 that were spot on. Thanks for the great memories. We will be back!!

We started off touring day 3 with our first visit being to Singing Water Vineyards. What a wonderful start to a trailing day! The folks here at Singing Water are simply the friendliest folks you will ever find. We immediately felt taken in to their home/place of business with warm, loving arms. Traci, our hostess, and Lauren, the marketer and our second hostess, made us feel right at home.We spent some time with Kevin, the Assistant Vintner, who gave us a tour of their facility and a VERY nice education. I learned a couple of new tidbits (read our blogs to learn them also!), which I always find interesting. And, did you know that the creek for which the vineyard is named after dried up in 2010! Kinda sad!We did learn that the owners, Dick & Julie Holmberg, bought the place in 1996 and had their first harvest in 2001. They have a really cool room that is dedicated solely to active duty and retired military. Pictures and letters hang on the wall. It is so gracious and respectful. They also have the most amazingly relaxing looking backyard type area, just waiting for spring time to arrive!! I can envision great get-togethers here in warmer weather!And the wine…well….very nice! “A’s” and “B’s” with only 1 “C” in the bunch. Mark this vineyard down as a “go-to” stop on your next wine trail in the Fredericksburg area! Visited Dec 2013.

Hello, thank you for writing such a lovely review. We are glad you enjoyed your time at our winery and had a great first visit in Comfort. We hope to see you again soon!

Katcerne,Thank you for your compliments on our wines, grounds and service. I regret that you did not recognize the Gadsen flag hanging in our Freedom room. While many have used this flag for various causes it was designed by the American General and Statesman Christopher Gadsen in 1775 during the American Revolution. It was used by the Continental Marines while intercepting British ships loaded with weapons and gunpowder. It was an interesting part of our country's early quest for freedom.

Solid, award wining wines striving to be above par with good vineyards, in a comfortable location outside of Kerrville, Texas. The owners have a particular fondness for those serving in the US military and reflect that with a special room dedicated for that purpose and a "Freedom" wine, but the basics are covered even if that is not of interest. The tasting room is pleasant not large and honestly represents the choices and selections. In all aspects the staff were cordial and friendly without being pushy.

My wife & I came here for a tasting on a Sunday afternoon. Their Freedom is a great red, & they do give a portion of the money from each bottle of Freedom they sell, to the Fisher House, which benefits veterans. if you prefer a sweet or a semi-sweet red, their Sweet Lupe can't be beat. Their winery is beautiful, a good drive out into the country, but well worth it.

Singing Water is a very nice place, and the personnel are knowledgeable, helpful, and very friendly. We loved the Freedom Room, honoring those who have served our country in the military. The outdoor area is quite nice as well. We purchased their reserve cabernet-merlot blend and the pinot grigio. I would say that my only complaint is that the wine is over-priced.

The owners started their vineyard to grow grapes for a nearby winery. After a few years, they decided to try their hand at making a merlot wine themselves. Several years of working with merlot led them to add Sauvignon Blanc...then cabernet, pinot grigio, a reserve blend and Freedom were developed. (A portion of Freedom's profits are donated to Fisher House in San Antonio, a home away from home for families of wounded warriors.) A very popular blend is a Sweet Lupe, a sweeter merlot, delicious with chocolate as a dessert. They host a fun concert the second Saturday of every month, with a food truck on the premise. Seating is available indoors and out - they even have a treehouse for the young at heart!

Singing Water is a gem of a place. The Holmbergs are producing top quality wines - try the Freedom blend or Sauvignon Blanc - in a lovely, relaxed setting in the Texas Hill Country. There are rustic tables and chairs set up under trees alongside a picturesque creek (usually dry) where visitors are invited to relax. There is live music & food at least once a month. The staff is wonderful, knowledgeable and always friendly. My absolute favorite of thevTexas wineries.

Singing Waters has a beautiful location with a very nice tasting room. The relaxing outside grounds are so nice for sipping wine and taking in nature. The Freedom Cabernet is very good and the patriotic atmosphere is a testament of the importance of remembering our precious brave men and women that have fought and are fighting for our freedoms.

If you are looking for some excellent wines try this one near Comfort. It has a great facility with a very friendly and helpful staff. Their wines are very good - especially their Melot and Freedom Cabernet.

Julie and DIck Holmberg settled in the area and wanted to grow grapes for another winery. After w while, the wine-making bug hit. Once they started with merlot then sauvignon blanc, the number and quality of their wines have increased every year. They offer music and food trucks every second Saturday. What a fub olace to settle in chairs under the lovely arbor, sip a delicious Texas Reserve wine and listen to TX music! Heaven in the Hill Country.

This establishment was beautiful from the moment we turned into the drive. GPS tried to take us to an earlier driveway, but they have a sign telling you to go to the next gate. It was such a relaxing place to sit and experience a wine tasting. We went to their back room where they had tributes to military veterans, and multitudes of quotes on the walls concerning freedom. A GREAT assortment of wines. Instead of just giving us bland crackers to help cleanse our palates, they offered a couple of snacks to try to enhance certain wines. With their "Sweet Lupe" they gave us three types of chocolate to try! Chocolate - with wine - a new experience for me!!! Staff were very friendly and took time to chat and share their stories. Veterans receive a 10% discount.

What made this winery unique was the story telling during the tasting experience. The staff were extremely friendly, and while the products were pushed, they did so in a very friendly and low threat way. We will definately return some day. Especially liked the Pinot Grigio. The place offers discount to military members and veterans, and even has a wine dedicated to veterans.

This was a great Vineyard. We fell in love with their Sweet Lupe white. It is close to Bending Branch as well and a Ranch where you can have a nice lunch (before 3). If not, hit up Highs, cafe in town for some great food between vineyards. $6 to taste and the bottles were reasonable.
