Admiral Nimitz was born right here in Fredericksburg! Check out this museum dedicated to his life and accomplishments. Newly remodeled/updated. Afterward, walk across the street (in the crosswalk) to Perspective Cellars and see the room he was born in and grab a glass of wine to toast his memory!

Wonderful South African wine, owner is usually on site, very cozy atmosphere with outdoor seating as well. Located towards the East end of town, so more of a quiet area. Minimal food options, but feel free to bring your own snacks!

Located in Stonewall, not far from Fredericksburg but worth the drive! They offer French style wines, a bistro with multiple food options, food/wine pairing experiences, beautiful venue with a Certified Monarch Waystation! You can sip wine and watch the butterflies dance among the flowers right outside the tasting room! You can make a day of it by visiting both Kuhlman & AB Astris since they are not too far from one another.
