Sommelier-led · Fredericksburg, Texas
Private tastings, dinners, and celebrations across the Texas Hill Country — each one designed around your occasion. You bring the people; we bring the rest.
Reach outFor the occasions that matter
The best evenings aren't performed — they're hosted. By someone who has already thought of everything, so you can simply be present with the people across the table.
That's the whole idea behind VinoCadre. Founded by advanced sommelier Andre Boada, we design tastings, dinners, and celebrations around your occasion — twenty years in the cellar, put to work so you never have to be the expert in the room. You bring the people and the reason. We bring the rest.
What it means for you
01 · Quiet Authority
Twenty years in the cellar mean you don't need a single one. No quizzing, no performance — just someone who quietly knows, shaping the night so you look effortless and feel at ease.
02 · An Open Door
Curiosity is the only credential. Whether you live by the bottle or rarely give it a thought, you're met exactly where you are — warmly, generously, never gatekept.
03 · A Crafted Encounter
Tell us the occasion and the people, and we design around them — the wines, the room, the pace. No two evenings here are the same, which is exactly why yours is the one they'll remember.
04 · Honored Roots
From the vineyards of California to a corridor in Fredericksburg — the same seriousness about wine, brought home to the Hill Country. World-class, without the airfare or the airs.
The door is open.The room is curated.
VinoCadre Uncorked
Tasting notes, quiet recommendations, and first word on what we're pouring next. No noise — just an occasional letter worth opening.
Where to begin
An intimate dinner, a corporate evening, a private tasting, a gift for the person who has everything — there's a way in for each. Join one of this season's gatherings, or tell us what you're imagining and we'll build it from there.

Opening soon · by appointment
A private salon and workshop in downtown Fredericksburg — and your starting point for custom wine tours, travel planning, and concierge-level evenings across the Hill Country. When the doors open, this is where your most ambitious ideas will begin.
Set above the Peach Basket on Main Street, the Atelier joins a broader transformation of the block — a refined, French-inspired sensibility arriving soon alongside the reintroduction of La Bergerie at 334 West Main.

The founder
Raised by European parents in Napa Valley, Andre grew up understanding wine as an inherent part of gathering well. After building a career in Napa and Sonoma and earning his Advanced Sommelier certification, he launched VinoCadre in 2015 — expanding from St. Helena, California to Fredericksburg in 2020. The depth is his. The ease is yours to borrow.
“Wine is something lived, not performed.”
