    Our group went out on a wine tasting tour guided by Diana of Cottonwood Wine Tours. We went out to…read morethe Tx Hill Country town of Boerne. 1st Winery was Sister Creek followed by lunch at the Hungry Horse having a very good meal. The 2nd wine tasting was at Lost Oak. Both wine tasting locations were charming & pleasantly differed in ambience. The tastings offered a generous variety of wines & good pours. Our guide Diana was delightful & gave us tips on wine tasting & the process of wine production. She even offered the history of winery's in the Texas Hill Country & the local town Boerne. So if you or your group are in San Antonio look up Cottonwood Wine Tours & book yourselves for a fine day out!

    THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER....EVERR!! Diana & Robin were so friendly, funny, personable, and just all…read morearound the best guides. They made us feel so welcomed, like we've known them forever! Love the park and ride, it's a relief being able to drink alcohol and not have to worry about calling an uber or cab. The park and ride allows you the opportunity to just relax, and enjoy the experience. If you log onto their website they have different tour packages. We did the Guadalupe River tour. We stopped at 3 Winery's and a distillery and tried some moonshine. We stopped for lunch in Comfort, Tx which was a cute little town. You get out and enjoy a some time looking around before moving on with the tour. The winery's they take you to are just amazing. What you get for the price is such a great deal. We never felt rushed. They allowed us to sight see and allowed us to just take our time to enjoy each winery. Diana or Robin even took our photos.

    I visited this highly rated wine tasting room when I was visiting Boerne for the weekend. I was…read morethe first to arrive around 130pm, but about 4 other couples walked in not 10 mins after me. It was a fairly hot day for the end of winter, so I chose to sit inside. They have a handful of high top tables and about 17 different wines on the tasting menu. The prices for the bottles range from $24 - $165. One interesting note, the grapes are currently grown in Lubbock due to the water shortage in this area, but they have some vines that are being replanted on this property so maybe in a few years they will be ready. They do have some snacks to try/purchase in the cold case, and more dry snacks that aren't refrigerated on the other side of the room. Since we hadn't eaten lunch yet, we grabbed a meat and cheese from the refrigerated case for $10 Restrooms are in a side building adjacent to the tasting room building. I tried the El Jardin, Albarino, Cinsaut, Sangiovese, Mourvedre, and Cabernet Franc. We also sampled a 1/2 pour of the Nectar du Terroir which is a fortified dessert wine instilled with brandy. I liked it but just be warned that it is strong at 17%. El Jardin - light white wine easy to drink; would go well with seafood Cinsaut - sort of like a pinot noir but slightly bitter Sangiovese - fruity similar to cinsaut but not as bitter Mourvedre - tasted similar to cinsaut but slightly better Cabernet franc - the best of the bunch, pretty smooth Overall, we enjoyed our experience here but are not huge wine drinkers and didn't really find one we were in love with. We didn't end up taking home any bottles but will always enjoy the memories. One note, their wine is reportedly not sold at liquor stores, but it is sent to select wine bars throughout Texas, so you may find it in your town; otherwise, the only other ways to get it is through their website, or by visiting the tasting room just outside of Boerne. They do not have a tasting room in Lubbock where the grapes are grown.

    Terrific views while enjoying a great bottle of Texas Albariño at Saint Tryphon. Truly charming…read moreambiance sitting on the patio outside the small tasting room enjoying the hills and the roses and the sun lowering late in the afternoon. The owner/winemaker and his wife were incredibly hospitable and kind. One of our favorite stops along our journey through Boerne and Fredericksburg.
