"We wanted you to know that everyone was extremely pleased with our dinner on Friday! The service was excellent and the food was great! Thank you so much for all the hard work put into the preparation of the labels, menus, and especially the food! My grandma also said she will be back soon to order more wine with our labels, she was so happy with it. Again, thank you and your staff so very much for the hard work and effort," Paul Karkoska and the Pizzonia Family - November 17th, 2011
"Good Morning! Since our daughter graduated from A&M this year, we haven't had an opportunity to visit Messina Hof in Bryan recently. So, we were pleased to see you opening your Hill Country location in Fredericksburg which is very near us. Your Hill Country team is very hospitable and knows your brands well. On their recommendation, we bought Sophia Marie Rose for Thanksgiving. To our surprise, a day or so later we saw it mentioned for Thanksgiving on the Fox News website. Congratulations and we are looking forward to visiting again soon," Gretchen and Sandy Barr Boerne, TX - November 9th, 2011
"I took my wife to tour the winery yesterday and we had a great time. Our Tour Guide was a great and he really conveyed Messina Hof in a positive way. Because of this we will DEFINITELY be back for another visit, whether for a murder mystery dinner or a weekend at your B&B. Thank you! Best regards," Bill and Marijane Kelly - October 16th, 2011

"Thanks so much for you and Paul stopping by our table in the restaurant by the wine barrels tonight. We have not been to your restaurant in a while (usually go to Christopher's but not anymore!!!) but thoroughly enjoyed our time tonight. Our server, Meredith Yeary, was unbelievable! I should have left her more than 20%, she was that good! Kim and I definitely want to come to a cooking night and the wine Thursday event! You sold us. I also want to thank you for creating the special wine label for our class of '75 reception you hosted this past fall," Larry Dooley '75 - February 14, 2011
"Our group of 20 had a wonderful time Saturday evening at our 6:00 wine tasting. We were a group of 10 couples whose children have all left home for college. We formed an "Empty Nesters" group through our church in Sugar Land. Each of the winery employees we encountered couldn't have been nicer. From the girl who greeted us upon walking in the door, to the hostess in the wine bar, and especially our tour guide, Virginia, each one was so accommodating and friendly. We are a fun group who really enjoy each other, so I hope we weren't too overwhelming for Virginia. I'd do the whole thing over again in a heartbeat, as would everyone else in the group whom I've heard from. Thanks again for making us feel so welcome," Lisa Short - January 29, 2011
"On behalf of the veterans of the 484th Bomb Group, their families and friends, “Thank you” for all the courtesies extended to our group during our tour on Sat, Sept 17th. It was a very informative and entertaining tour and tasting. Michael was especially entertaining and had us laughing so hard – at ourselves! He is quite an asset to the winery. So many told me it was their favorite event." - Sincerely, Kathi for 484th Bomb Group (Veterans – WWII) - October 15, 2010

"Just a note to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at The Villa. As you recall, it was a gift from our children, and we were so impressed with your lovely facilities. We really enjoyed the wine tour and especially dinner in your restaurant. Excellent! Our room, Camelot, was beautiful and restful. The breakfast delicious...I can't remember the last time I started a Monday morning with mimosas followed by a walk around a pond, with colorful fall foliage glistening in the morning sun. Everything was simply lovely...and we will be back. Have a blessed holiday season." - Mary Lou and Roger Winkelmann - Visited on November 7, 2009 visited The Villa
