English Newsom Cellars - Fredericksburg

English Newsom Cellars in Fredericksburg, Texas, brings estate-grown wines from the Texas High Plains American Viticultural Area (AVA) to the Hill Country’s Highway 290 corridor. The location at 8309 East US Highway 290 is a collaboration between grape grower Steve Newsom and the Jenschke family, whose property provides the setting for Jenschke Cellars. The distinction matters: this is a Hill Country stop with West Texas wines, not wines from a vineyard outside the tasting room.

The Newsom family’s grape-growing roots reach back to 2008, and English Newsom Cellars dates to 2018. Vineyard manager Keegan Newsom oversees 21 grape varieties across 100 acres in Hockley County. The family grows its own grapes and keeps fermentation, aging, and bottling at its winery in Lubbock, giving the Fredericksburg location a direct connection to the people farming the fruit.

For travelers exploring Fredericksburg wine country, the draw is that grower-to-glass connection. Reservations for the Fredericksburg location are available at 830-307-9500.
