Navigating the 290 Wine Road with Shuttles and Tours

The 290 Wine Road is home to more than 20 award-winning wineries, and you don’t need a car—or a designated driver—to enjoy them. The 290 Wine Shuttle offers continuous weekend service between downtown Fredericksburg and participating wineries, letting you hop on and off at your own pace. For a more personalized experience, private tour companies like Wine Tours provide curated itineraries, knowledgeable guides, and door-to-door service from your lodging.

Many of these shuttles and tours can pick you up directly from our bed and breakfast, meaning you can enjoy your tastings worry-free. Booking in advance, especially during peak seasons and festivals, ensures your spot and lets you focus on the fun—not the logistics. Whether you prefer big, well-known wineries or hidden boutique vineyards, there’s a shuttle or tour option to fit your style.

Getting Around Town: Walkability and Ride-Sharing

Fredericksburg’s historic Main Street, often called the “Magic Mile,” is incredibly walkable, with boutiques, tasting rooms, restaurants, and galleries all within a short stroll. Staying near downtown means you can easily explore on foot, enjoying the charm of the German-inspired architecture without worrying about parking.

For destinations just outside the main stretch, ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft are available, though they can be limited late at night or during special events—so plan ahead. Local taxi companies and private car services are also an option for quick trips. Guests at our B&B often combine walking and occasional ride-shares, keeping their trip simple, affordable, and stress-free. And with so many attractions nearby, you’ll spend more time enjoying your getaway and less time navigating traffic.
