About Keidel Wine Tours

Keidel Wine Tours was built on a simple idea. A Fredericksburg wine tour should feel personal, unhurried, and connected to the real story of this town, not just another stop on a party bus route. We take small groups and couples through some of the best vineyards in Fredericksburg, pairing every glass with the history that only a native family can tell.

Call 512-775-6805 to book your tour.

A Sixth Generation Fredericksburg Native

Jeff Lawrence is a sixth-generation Fredericksburg native and the owner of Keidel Wine Tours. His family history traces back to his great, great, great grandfather, Dr. Wilhelm Keidel, the first doctor in Fredericksburg and a founding figure in the town’s early history. Jeff grew up hearing these stories firsthand, and today they are shared with guests on every tour.

While Jeff cannot practice medicine like his ancestors once did, he carries on a different kind of care for the town, keeping its history alive one wine tour at a time. Along with running Fredericksburg’s most storied wine tour company, Jeff also hosts guests at the and Legacy Suite in downtown Fredericksburg. Guests staying at the Legacy Suite depart for their tour right from there.

Call 512-775-6805 to hear the stories firsthand.
