They still make a great a great sellection of winjes that are free of high sulfides. Come take a trip out to Lockhart, have some great wines then go get some BBQ... Thank you Mary, You'r the Grrrreatest read more

I love this quiet oasis away from the chaos of other places! The Barolo is really good and I grabbed another bottle today and also picked up a Pinot Grigio. The wines do not have the chemicals that I don't think should be added. A wine should stand on its own! "Custom wine without the chemicals" Supremely good! I'm a wine snob as I was raised with it and also living and working around the world I was able to have some of the best wines in the world. No, I am not rich . Wines that are sent to the states are really jacked up in price and I was able to get what I wanted and bring it back. One thing I did learn is that you don't drink an expensive wine as a part of the meals but enjoy it on its own. I bought 2 bottles of Barolo to have with an Italian meal. It was a great fit. This little place has fulfilled the perfect fit! The lady who owns the place and makes the wine is quite nice and understand all of the above. I will be back! read more

Visiting for our anniversary. Amazing family-owned winery located in a convenient area in the city. Went in for tasting with our dog, he was allowed to sit with us and roam a little, as they normally have a shop dog! Really nice wines, shoutout to the Australian Cab Shiraz! Definitely will be back each time we revisit! read more

Just stopped in at this cool place after eating next door...nice wine tasting environment - great bar, good vibe, super cute dog, beautiful mural painted on the wall and a friendly owner. Bought a bottle of the Tuscan blend on the recommendation of the owner - I will open, taste and add a review later - I'm only giving it 4 stars for now because I haven't tried the wine, but I like the place...more to come! read more

Sunday afternoon - the OPEN sign is on, we have just had a really great meal next door and I have always wanted to go into this place. So, we walked in and no one was in there. Thought to myself...maybe they are in the back. Talked a little louder with my husband and daughter and the cute little dog that greated us. Then this woman walks in and we made cordial small talk. I asked if they were open because she seemed quite perturbed that we were inside. Confused because I had seen the open sign. I asked "Are you open?" She said annoyed "We are getting there...." We quickly walked out and will not grace those doors again! Rudeness doesn't win! Love and kindness wins!! read more

we visited the Austin area as a group and went exploring the breweries, wineries and distilleries in the area. We stumbled across Austin Custom Winery and met Steve who provided us with a wonderful experience. Steve was also helpful in places to visit for entertain and dining. His knowledge of wines and where the grapes come from was fantastic. We were not rushed through the wine tasting and he was pleasantly engaging the entire time we were there. Check out Austin Custom Winery! read more

First winery on our Mom Daughter wine adventures in Austin. Called ahead of time to get the scoop. Immediately fell in love with Mary's sass. Uber'd over and was not disappointed. Although they don't serve food, she suggested a few restaurant take outs nearby and allowed us to bring in and eat there. Mary does it all! Wine maker extraordinaire she is! Loved our first wine stop experience! read more

Fantastic place! Mary is so wonderful. Her wine is delicious and she is so personable. My group came in after a long day of work and she just brightened up our day. Can buy by glass, bottle, case, whatever you need. $10 for a flight of 6. We will be back!! read more

Best wine I have had in a long time out of the United States. It has low tannins and robust flavors. Mary is the definition of a connoisseur. They do custom wine bottle labels and build gift baskets. MY FAVORITE!!! Her shop is filled with fun items and the cutest dog ever!!! read more

This lady was so rude to my friend and I. You could tell she wanted nothing to do with us and tried to rush our tasting as fast as possible. She did not want to answer any of our questions and not once looked us in the eye. I'm not sure if she is a racist, homophobe, doesn't like young people, or all of the above but you could tell we were not welcome. I would never come here again and I continue to tell my friends and family to never come here too. read more

I'm not a drinker. I have a low tolerance for alcohol, and wine hits me particularly hard. But I attended a group wine tasting here with a friend yesterday, and thus our tale begins... I got there as the second serving of a six-wine tasting was progressing, and I was immediately struck by the smoothness of the wine that was being served at the moment, a Gewurtraminer. Shortly after sipping that wine, I mentioned that I had almost no tolerance for alcohol. Steve, the master of ceremonies for the tasting, told the group that Austin Custom Wineries did not add sulphites, the major cause of wine intolerance, into their wine as most wineries do for preservative purposes. As a result, though the wines should be drunk within five years, the wines are eminently drinkable for even the lightest of weight drinkers like me. Seriously, I can't even finish a bottle of beer (Shiner). So I was able to partake in the tasting! I didn't drink all of each of the wines, but I had more than I normally would have felt comfortable with (to avoid headaches), and I suffered absolutely zero ill effects. It was amazing. Also amazing: ACW's selection of dessert wines--ports and ice wines. Maybe I'm just not a fancy wine connoisseur, but those dessert wines are drinkable and tasty. And since they have no added sulphites, all I have to worry about is the alcohol content! read more

I do not recommend this place. I went there today with a group of golf gals. There was a lady behind the bar named Mary, I've since found out from looking at their website, she is the owner. She couldn't have been more unfriendly. She never cracked a smile once for the first hour we were there. The store became extremely warm and when one of our gals asked if it was possible to lower the temperature she scowled and said it's already 68, what do you want me to do, lower it to 50? That was after she had slammed her wine opener on the bar. After that she heard some of us discussing her poor behavior and she caught her snap and tried to become all cheerful but it was too late, she had now ruined our experience and afternoon there and we just wanted to get out of there!! The bar is also very 80's 90's in decor, it needs a good update, and the wine is not good at all. Save your money and go to the nicer wine bars like Aviary where your money and presence are much more appreciated. read more

Been really happy with this group since finding them several years ago. While the recipes might have changed over the years, they never cease to bring a great selection out every year. The port wines have been some of our favorites, raspberry chocolate port in particular. My husband has always been a fan of their blackberry merlot. We moved north of Austin, but when ever we take a trip to south Austin area, this spot is a must stop! Don't forget to ask about their wine club too; it is a great way to sample the variety of flavors they bring out! read more

RUDE service and bad wine. Menu isn't even accurate, i.e.: mislabeled as Italian wines but really French. There are so many better places in the Austin area. Do not waste your time. read more

This place seems to attract a lot of women's meet ups and networking groups, which is obviously why I know of it. The owner is jovial and the atmosphere is good for a casual meet up. read more

I DO NOT like wine, and found two wines I LOVED! My husband who does not like wine either LOVED this wine. Place was small but family owned. I felt real relaxed and comfortable and enjoyed my tasting! Owner was so nice! Going to sign up for the monthly wine club because the wine was SO good. Defiantly recommend this place! Went with a bachelorette party and the owner was accommodating to all 13 of us, and found a wine each of us loved! Go for the GREAT wine! read more

This is a great place in the Sunset Valley area to stop in and take a break from the hustle and bustle of shopping. We get to sip on our favorites as well as try new ones...Malbec is our favorite so far! read more

I got hooked on Austin Custom Winery due to the less amount of sulfolamides (I know I mis spelled that)! Mary and Steve are excellent hosts... I love that they are patient and accommodating. I also recently became a wine club member... Lots of perks, including getting to create my own wine label with custom picture! So happy I found this AUSTIN business! read more

We had intentions to get food next door and then saw this winery next door... never made it to the restaurant and stayed here instead. Got more than we bargained for when we walked in. Wonderful people working here, great environment and tasty wine. Will DEFINITELY be back here. read more

Consistent flavors and unique blends! The big nice bar is fun to sit at and the wine variety never ends. Every return is met with a new wine rolling out while still able to get there staple wines. The wine club is my favorite now getting on a discount on bottles I'm buying anyway. I shall be back read more

Awesome! Owner is great and very engaging to say the least! We had a great time and would highly recommend to anyone seeking a wide variety of wines! read more

This is a great place to buy yummy low sulfate wines (you won't get a headache from Mary's wines). The other exciting thing? You can actually customize your label. Great for small business and corporate gifts. It is such a wonderful and fun way to make your gift special. The way I found out about the customized labels is a friend of mine used Austin Custom for his Christmas gifts several years ago and it was really great getting the bottle with a really unique and clever label on it. I have remembered that gift when others have faded from my memory. (Sorry mom.) Mary Charron, the owner, is a delight. Fun and extremely helpful when choosing your wine and when suggesting pairing. This is a place you won't want to miss if you enjoy wine. Evelyn T read more
