They have both the Rising Sun Vineyards winery and the Yegua Creek Brewery on site, plus food, live music, indoor seating, and plenty of outdoor space. They also have working dogs roaming around, with a request that guests don't feed them. It is pet friendly and don't forget the leash. Overall, we had a great time and will definitely be back to try the food!

Stop in; you'll be glad you did!

They had tastings of 3 for only $20 and the wines were fantastic. I got the Cerasuolo, Work Horse, and the Syrah. The Cerasuolo was very light and refreshing while the Work Horse and Syrah were both full bodied and bold. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. We sat inside where there was plenty of seating and a big TV where we could watch the Sunday football games!

When we arrived, the bartender seemed more interested in explaining the concept of "natural" wine to another group than acknowledging our party, and the service felt a bit curt throughout our visit. We sampled five different wines, from rosé to orange wine, but every one of them just had a noticeably sour flavor. Maybe that's part of the natural wine style, but considering the cost of the tasting, the experience overall was very disappointing.

I'm a huge fan of California wines, but not huge Napa/Sonoma prices. Swallow takes the guessing work out of finding great wines at great prices. We had the honor of Gabe pouring for us on a calm Saturday early afternoon. He asked our taste preference and began pouring zippy sparkinlings, skin-touched roses and deliciously balanced reds! I'm actually going to Paso Robles on vacation soon and Gabe gave me great reccomendations and a sample pour of a Paso wine he loved (I will now be visiting that vinyard)!! This was my first trip out to Round Rock. A sleepy but adorable suburb of Austin (30min no-traffic from downtown) and Swallow adds to that charm with a relaxed living room energy (think Mad Men vibe if Don Draper drank wine instead of martinis and adultery)! Some locals elbowed up to the bar and we made fast friends (it's easy to bond over wine)! I hadn't planned on buying anything but walked out with 3 bottles!! One of the patrons next to us walked out as a wine-club member!! No up-sale needed. The space and service do all the work! With wine clubs, parties and meet-the-wine maker events, there's always a reason to stop back. This place is now on my Austin rotation every time I'm in town!!!

Service is usually very good. Outside pavilion is nice, but no exterior restrooms. Food quality has steadily gone down hill the past few years-pizzas taste bland (many frozen brands are better than these), and the Mothers day buffet was overpriced, over booked & average at best (wont be back). The previous method with ltd slots of parties every 30min was so much more enjoyable, less rushed and honestly less food wasted than the buffet style...still miss the eggs benedict crabcake. The kicker is that the wine quality has also gone down as well; fewer varietals, & the 1883 blend was average, the prosecco mimosas used to be great, but not anymore. An economic downturn is on the horizon, plus fewer people are into wine these days. Hope they can hang on. The website is beyond confusing also....way too much info.

It's a lovely place to stop during a road trip. The tasting room- a plain if not industrial looking building from the outside but cozy and inviting once inside.

Bottles run between $16-28.

Since I had never physically been to the venue, we had a few extra details to work through... including the time difference, planning the layout remotely, and selecting the best wine and beer pairings for the food. Heather was incredibly helpful, providing photos and all the information I needed to feel confident planning everything from afar. We ended up having some unexpected weather roll in, but that was no issue for Heather. We quickly pivoted and moved the event inside without missing a beat. She even helped us with the setup and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The food and drink selection was a huge hit, the service was amazing, and the entire evening came together beautifully. You can tell Heather genuinely loves what she does... it shows in the care she puts into every detail. Everything went perfectly, and we truly couldn't have chosen a better location for my brother's rehearsal dinner. I highly recommend Bell Springs!

The porter was good but a bit to heavy for a summer afternoon, so I got the Scotch Ale the first round and the IPA for the second round. The Scotch Ale at 8.0abv comes in a small 10oz pour and the IPA was a full 16oz. In the past the riesling has been my fave wine wise. Both were full flavored and refreshing to drink on the patio with my dog. The service here has always been so friendly. The wine tasting are guided by pros that are well educated about wine. The same for the brewery where they'll give you free tasting cups. The outside country location is so beautiful. Like being on a ranch. Picnic tables, lawn games, and often live music (or at least good music over the speakers). Btw, as a dj myself I wonder if they'd ever like some jazzy house grooves or something on the patio on the weekend? What would that involve to do periodically on an afternoon?

Hands down the best paella we have ever had! That's another review though! LOL The Horne family that owns and runs 7 Creeks are great folks. Always stopping by to visit (when they can, it stays pretty busy on weekend days), and they're all willing to talk about how they make the wine, wine and food pairing, etc. They offer some food items, e.g., charcuterie board, Fat Boy Cheese and crackers (if you haven't had Fat Boy cheese, you gotta get you some of that-- delicious!). And, they welcome you bringing your own food. It's a good place for families, usually quite a few there, plenty of room for kids to run around and exhaust themselves! :-) 7 Creeks usually has live music on Saturdays, and often has special menus cooked and offered by Jerry Horne, he is a fantastic cook... gumbo, street tacos, etc. Well worth your time to stop by the winery in Burnet, TX. Highly recommend 7 Creeks Vineyard.
