![]() When my in-laws were visiting for Thanksgiving 2021, we wanted to show them the beauty of Fredericksburg and the wineries that pepper the landscape. If you visit the winery you must order a charcuterie board to enjoy with your wine, the roasted raspberry chipotle sauce served with it is addictive! Thank you, Safari, for always providing us with a memorable and delicious experience! Our past 2 shipments have been a delightful journey for our palates, and we can't wait for the next shipment! My husband wasn't much of a wine lover until he discovered Safari winery, their wines are honestly that good! Our favorite is the Petit Verdot, and if you are a red lover and want a delicious, unique flavored wine their Pinotage is a must! As for a unique white, their Tres Ciolos is to be savored with hints of jalapeno and tomato leaf (I know, it sounds crazy but the flavors in this dry white just work!). We ended up during our second visit joining their wine club to receive 12 bottles every few months. During both visits I did not taste a wine that wasn't exceptional. Out of the dozen wineries we visited we loved the wines at this one the most, so much so that when we were in San Antonio 6 months later we made a day trip back to Safari Winery. My husband and I first visited Safari Winery during our fall break trip to Fredericksburg in Oct. More importantly, your thoughts on your second visit would be greatly appreciated! When you return to Fredericksburg and should you give us a second chance please ask for me. Thank you again for taking the time to bring this information to our attention. Please know that this feedback will help to improve me and our team. On the flip side, I don't want to be pressured once I've said no, that is not ok. However, I would be disappointed as a customer if, there was a way to save money and I wasn't told about it. Our intentions are never to force you into a membership. One stipulation, you must take 2 allocations in the membership. You see our options are simple, if you buy 3 bottles you get tastings for joining complimentary and you save 15% on any three bottles you purchase. We teach our staff that if a customer shows interest in the wines we sell, it might benefit them from our membership. ![]() We are not in the business of making a "hard sale". We strive to make every experience an enjoyable one. Hi Robert, Thank you so much for this feed back. If I did, I'd forego wine tasting and attend a time-share conference instead. But I don't want to fight off more hard sales tactics. And it's a shame, because the wines are worthy of another visit. When we return to Fredericksburg, and we will, we won't be stopping at Safari. Again she espoused the great value of being club members. Again, we let her know we didn't want to join their club. When We let her know what 3 bottles we wanted to purchase, she said, "Great, and with your club membership you'll receive a discount". We repeatedly let her knw that we weren't interested. It's not an exaggeration to say that the nice lady pouring the wine, pushed their club on us, before, during and after each sample. The downside of the experience was the very hard sale to join their wine club. All that was great, and we bought 3 bottles to take with us. Safari has curated a fine rotation of wines from various regions of the globe. My wife and I stopped at Safari as part of an afternoon of tasting at various wineries. Oh, and the $30 t-shirt I bought got a hole in it after one wash and is the cheap Bella Canvas brand. Save your money and get better wine and better service elsewhere. You can absolutely do better at other wineries as we have done for many years in Fredricksburg. Katrina has stopped responding to my emails so I will be taking it higher with my bank and others. Mind you I purchased $130 of wine that day in store, as well. Good customer service would make the situation right when an employee made it sound like it was preferred to get two shipments. I responded again and get a very rude response refusing to refund my payment despite me cancelling. Employee told us if you sign up we ask that you “consider taking two shipments before cancelling” and that two shipments are “preferred.” I emailed a month ahead of time to cancel my membership after I did receive one shipment. ![]() Big discount on wines you purchase that day if you sign up. Then comes the membership they push on you. Definitely not Texas wines, but I would say decent in quality/taste. ![]() Atmosphere was good, TVs on with football games which was nice since championship games were coming up. It was the last stop of four on our tour (stops were chosen for us). We went to Safari winery with a bachelorette group.
