Messina Hof Winery

Location: Bryan tx Staff: manager was friendly, helpful and did a great tourPrice: low-high depending on what item/bottle you pick Seating: outdoor, indoor cute patio area by wine tasting room with lake view It was 5 of us and we opt for the tour, it is one hour long and you get to taste 4 different wines. Price was $25/person. As you arrive, you check in, and after everyone is there and time is set you start your tour with a background regarding family and how it all started. We walked out toward the rose garden, great cute garden perfect for photos and lots of sunlight. We than proceeded to vines, although you do not get to throughly walk through them you do get an idea and a small walk to see grapes. Inside the tasting area, is private only for the group which consisted of @15-20 people. It's a cold room but after a few drinks you definitely need a hand fan. Overall the atmosphere is great, very chill and and relaxed. Restaurant: when we checked online it showed that there was no more seating available. However after we walked towards the restaurant we found out there was plenty of seating available. Everyone was super nice and took the time to explained the menu to us. We were also allowed to bring a cake in as we were celebrating a double birthday. I didn't get to see the villa but look forward to stay there in the future. Reasons for not a 5 star, Once you walked towards the end, there is lots of home which kind of kills the whole relaxed vibe vives. Maybe put up walls with trees to continue the relaxed scene. And scenic views. We will definitely be coming back.

Easy to find in Bryan. This was my second visit to the winery and since spring is upon us, the crowd was a great size!I got the tasting and my daughter got a glass of angel late harvest. Also, I joined the wine club for three bottles of white every quarter. Since I just missed the February pick up, they allowed me the option to take February home today or to just wait till the next quarter in May. This February, quarterly wine or all three I had never heard of and I did not taste lso I am excited to try new wines!

Kaitlyn was fantastic at setting up everything for us. After that we got fantastic service in the tasting room primarily by Sean. We then took the tour and Sean was again our tour guide and he was fantastic he made it feel comfortable and he was knowledgeable on top of that. The lite bites food in the tasting room was amazing. The vibe was classy but accessible. It was a great trip, it would be a good time with family or that special someone.

A bit of a road trip but worth it! Very well landscaped and fits most needs. This vineyard has a restaurant on property, wine bar, gazebo, lodging, and an area for wine tasting. If you decide to stay by the wine bar area you can still order food- appetizers and sandwiches. Staff is very courteous and knowledgeable. We had Messina charcuterie board and it more than satisfied!

Great winery on the way back home from Waco to Houston. They have a variety of wines to choose from. This is my second time here. I haven't tried the food so not able to comment there. I did take a pic of the wine menu and selected my faves as well as notes.

A gem in Bryan/College Station area. Great food and they are happy to cater to food restrictions. The ambiance is southern and yet has glimpses of a french chateau. I was genuinely concerned about wine (ok..am a snob given my two hour driving distance to Napa & Sonoma) in Texas. And the low wine prices made me quizzical. But boy was I wrong. The Cabernet Sauvignon was excellent...and the body grew as the wine sat for a little. Highly recommend.

A nice winery with table service tastings and light food available. Ambiance was comfortable and if the weather had not been so hell hot, it would be nice to sit on the porch and enjoy their view. We walked away with a few bottles of wine to enjoy at a later time and a enjoyed a pleasant experience

Cute and quaint. Nice experience but could be better. Made a reservation for midday Friday because we thought it would be crowded but it was slow that day so there was plenty of room to sit where we wanted. The service was decent however, they didn't really seem like experts/knowledgeable about the product. It was my boyfriend's first tasting and we were really excited so we asked questions but the servers didn't sound too confident in their answers. lol We still had a good time and made the most out of it. Altogether the wine was good but food options were very limited during the day so if you're hungry, picky or have dietary restrictions, plan to eat before hand. We ended up buying a bottle for around $20 but later saw the same bottle at HEB for $8.99. Maybe the "complimentary glasses" were included in the price?

I want to start off by saying I wish I could give this place no stars. I have been to lots of wineries and this by far the worst experience I have had. The staff was incredibly rude and unfriendly and made the entire experience unpleasant. They did not greet us or give us a run down of the winery, they didn't bring us menus, every other table had waters besides us, they brought out our dip which was suppose to have flatbread with it and they gave us butterfly crackers. We truly felt singled out and like a joke. Everyone else in the building seemed to be getting good service and having a good experience! The food and wine was enjoyable, but that is about all. We were so excited to have a fun girls day but sadly the staff and environment ruined that.

My friends and I went here for our first time today full of excitement as it has been a place we have been wanting to go for forever. It was a rainy and disgusting day, but we also knew it was one of out last free weekends of the semester. We initially accidentally went to "The Vintage House" but the host was super helpful and steered us in the right direction to the tasting room. However, when we got to the tasting room, the vibes were automatically different. The hostess treated us in a condescending manner and was very unclear about the process. We explained it was our first time here but still feel like we were left in the dark. We put our name down for a table while she told us to go wait outside, since we weren't allowed to be in the tasting room. We asked how we should know when our table is ready and she responds, "Well look at your phone in 45 minutes and then come back in". Okay... We're finally seated and the first thing our waiter says when she comes up to us is "the hostess said y'all would just tell me what you want" after not having received a menu or having made that statement. The hostess and our waitress would point at us and then whisper to one another which made us all uncomfortable. We proceeded to have terrible experience. There was no consistency between how much wine was poured in our glasses. We ordered food and items in the meal would be mentioned would be missing until we asked for them. Everyone in the restaurant had glasses of water, which were not given them to us until we asked and by then the check had come. We finally asked our waitress how long she had been working, hoping to give her the benefit of the doubt, but she had been there 6 months already. The wine was amazing and the food was great, but the service ultimately destroyed our experience. After having multiple friends have been here and our sorority hosing events here in the past, we were excited, but ended up disappointed. We will not be returning.
