This has some seating indoors and some outdoors, so going during the fall is probably ideal. Not a huge space, but when I arrived on a 100-degree day, there were plenty of seats to choose from. I did two different flights- the sparkling and the tasting. I'm more of a red lover, but the Blanc Du Bois semi-sweet is one of the only whites I've REALLY enjoyed (I received a tasting of this at the rodeo and wanted to check out more options here since I loved it so much). There are only two sparkling options at the moment, so I tried both. The real star was the Belle for me. I can definitely see myself taking this to brunch or enjoying while cooking a meal. It is light and refreshing and you can totally taste the fruity guava notes in it. The Blanc Du Bois regular is not sweet enough for me which is probably why I enjoy the Semi Sweet so much. Of course, I left with a bottle of this as well. I'd like to come back and try their Reds- but definitely something I'll have to do in the future. If you're already out this way, you can taste some wine and then book a Bee-Keeping class which I really enjoyed.

I HIGHLY recommend going out and giving this local family some business. You'll have a great time…read moreand taste some delicious wines as well. This place is SO ADORABLE!!! It is a small, local winery run by a family. You meet all of them - the mom, dad and their grown children (sometimes all, sometimes only a few) as well as even an uncle. They have set times for wine tastings. When you get there, you get your own table for your party (they have inside & outside tables) and they introduce you to the wines and which they grow at their vineyard & give you a history of the place. They also have snack trays that you can order with grapes, cheese and meats. Those are also all super yummy. Normally, I'm not a fan of drier wines. But I liked EVERY wine they had us try. I also tried a the sangria (I think it was) that was not part of the tasting wines, and I was not a fan of that because it tasted far too much like champagne. They are small, so they only make 3-5 different wines every year. But each one is such high quality. Their son, who is the mastermind winemaker, and he is very sweet (and super smart) and will answer all your questions about his process and what's upcoming. Just like the inside, the outside is very cute & quaint. They have a patio with some tables and then some acres with their vines. Unfortunately, we did not come when there were grapes on the vine, so everything we saw was bare. But that's just a reason to come back! Since it's such a small operation, the dad also gave us a you're of when they barrel and do wine science! And since I studied architecture, he also asked for my opinion on their thoughts of expanding their building because they are running out of room!

Don't…read morelet the industrial setting fool you--once you step inside, it transforms into a warm, welcoming space where you can relax, unwind, and enjoy some incredible wine. What really makes this place special is the heart behind it. Beth and Rick are absolutely amazing--genuine, passionate, and the kind of people who make you feel like family the moment you walk in. You can tell they've poured everything into creating not just great wine, but an experience people want to come back to again and again. It's rare to find a place that feels this personal and inviting. From the atmosphere to the conversation to the quality of the wine, everything just clicks. I hate to see them moving out of state--it's a huge loss for the local community. This is one of those spots you don't just visit... you remember. Wishing Beth and Rick nothing but success in their next chapter. They've truly built something special.

Parking was great. That's always my number one concern anywhere but I forgot we are in the country…read moreso there's always extra land for parking. Here it is both paved and unpaved parking. Line was long but the ladies were patient in taking orders. Smaller orders came out fast and the pretzel was the best deal there. Easy to find tables inside and outside was a bit of a gamble because the sun was fierce but there was a nice breeze. Big kids play area in a field so far from the tables. 50% of the people were watching their kids which I was not impressed by. You don't get a vacation from parenting. Hot food from the food trailer took a bit to come out but the girl back there was working her butt off. The orders were coming in in large amounts because groups of people kept showing up. Overall a nice place and well maintained.

Brazos is one of these breweries. The beers are fun to try!! I genuinely looked forward to trying everything. I guess I've been to so many breweries, they start to run together and feel lackluster.

My hat goes off to these brewers.

It was so good, we walked out of there with two bottles, their Kooper Family rye (our very…read morefavorite) and their Sweetheart if the Rodeo bourbon (90 proof blended bourbon whiskey). Both are quite drinkable neat. But we also had fun making old fashioneds with both, as well. At just $45 a bottle, it's a heck of a deal. So much better than most is the $50 to $80 whiskeys we buy. Plus, as an added bonus, the Kooper family is very hospitable, informative, fun to hang out with at the bar, and they offer nice tastings at a great price ($16 for three pours), which allows you to determine which bottle is your favorite. You can't get that experience or that level of service at any liquor store! If you find yourself within an hour of this place, you need to visit! While you're in town, checkout the big antique store in Giddiness and have lunch or dinner at Los Patrones. Giddings will soon become one of your favorite towns.

We stopped in today on our way back to Austin from Galveston (4th of July) & I walked in at 6:02, RIGHT after they closed. Although we didn't have time for drinks, I asked if I could get a bottle, & she was happy to stay open a few more minutes for me. She even let me sample a couple because I was indecisive. I realize that was her time off I was cutting into, & I really appreciated it. I didn't catch her name, but it probably won't be hard to figure out who it was. She was so friendly! Thanks again!

Lots of free parking available. Entered the place and we were greeted by a smiling employee and some water! This place is a great secret to exploring. They have 4 different bourbons that they give you FREE samples. And they have several others that they only charge $3.00 per sample. Husband & I each had a taste of the 4 year & the 6 year which was a great way to become familiar with their bourbon. We then decided to order some drinks. Husband had Smoked Bourbon (rocks glass) which is;2oz Sixth Street Bourbon, 1 oz Vanilla Liqueur, Mesquite-Smoked Ice Cube, Cinnamon Stick( so they smoke the ice cube) this was a great drink. I had Old Fashioned (rocks glass) 2 oz Sixth Street Bourbon, 1/2 oz Simple Syrup, Angustura Bitters, Orange Twist, "Filthy" Cherry. It's an Old Fashioned which is always good. This place is small town charm with a 'Cheers' feel. I highly recommend that you go here. If traveling on 71 or 10 or 290 make the stop and hang out with some great people and drink some great bourbon. ...You MUST try the Rock and Rye as it's like Fall in a shot glass, but you need to sip it and enjoy it.
