On the drive out to Fredericksburg we saw this, and it was something we needed to stop to check out. Heading down Route 290, off in the distance I swore I could see a castle on a hill. Although it had been a couple years since I'd come this way, it obviously wasn't something which had been there before. Well, when you stumble across something interesting, take the time to check it out.
Venturing inside and chatting with the hostess, 290 Wine Castle hadn't been open long, but what an impact it had made. Most of the structure was a single room with the central bar and social area. Along the upper level was an interior balcony, and each of the corner turrets had some rooms for private parties. There was also a patio on the back which gave a great view of the hill country. Having some time of awning which would provide some shade would be good for the warmer months, but they were still in the process of making improvements.
There was a limited food menu which consisted mostly of appetizers. The wine selection was very extensive, and had options from many different parts of the world. The interior design kept up the medieval theme with some suits of armor and appropriate paintings. We also laughed at what was used to hold the toilet paper too.
This is worth checking out for the atmosphere. But if you like high-end wine, then you'll love this place. More information can be found at www.290winecastle.com
