The wine is still one of my favorites, but sadly, the tasting room experience is not anymore…read more We had a very unpleasant interaction with Joel regarding our dog. The location is listed as "pets welcome," yet we were turned away at the door. Joel said he would double-check the policy, pulled out paperwork, asked whether I had a disability, and then explained that "pets welcome" apparently means service animals only. He also asked whether we were "even members," which felt unnecessarily dismissive. I have been a member for years--since before he even worked there. If only service animals are permitted, that should be stated clearly rather than advertising the location as pet-friendly. The wording is misleading, and the way the conversation was handled made the entire experience uncomfortable and disappointing.

They were so accommodating from the very beginning. They made great recommendations on where to go and what would work for our group, and were so flexible with the timing of our event. Other places I had called were strict on a time limit: four hours, three wineries...Amber & Amethyst Tours said they would work with us and our schedule...we never felt rushed to move on to the next spot and had time to sit together and enjoy our wine at each spot! Every place we went, they were ready to open the door for us, help my 92 year old grandma get her walker and get to the entrance, and they even labeled and packed all our snacks and wine bottles purchased along the way. Dianna and Lou were so kind and so much fun! I'll be contacting them again!

We've been members here for about four years. We held the Grape Creek winery club membership for a…read moreyear or two. Then moved to the Heath Owners Club membership (Heath owns Grape Creek Winery). Then recently, we moved to the K Estate membership (Heath bought K Estate). And they offer other memberships as well. You can switch out at any time. And within each, you can go with reds or whites or mixed. They also make sparkling wines. Something for everyone. We took the Estate tour for the first time this week. They show you where all the grapes are pressed, the wine is made, the casks they age it in, and how they filter and bottle it. Pretty cool. They are a major producer, and all of it seems to be distributed to members. They have an onsite restaurant with covered outdoor seating. You're surrounded by the winery and lots of beautiful plants and trees. Indoors you have your standing tasting experiences. The restaurant food is fine. And it's not exorbitantly priced. They have chatceutery and appetizers (hummus, meatballs) as well as simple entrees. Though they own several wineries and tasting rooms, this is the best of them as a visitor experience. So give it a try.

The staff at Grape Creek Winery are trained to be confused, pretentious, and unkind to both members…read moreand non-members alike for a wine tasting reservation made in advance. The confusion to seat members in an open area is laughable as staff members at the first kiosk/host stand struggle reading an iPad, moving customers to a second kiosk, and figuring out what the staff said or did at the first kiosk before seating you. Nobody is trained here to be confident, knowledgeable, and kind. This all happened on Sunday afternoon, May 24th, 2026. In fact, Grape Creek Winery staff members admit that the technology, applications, and process are subpar at best and getting worse by the week. (Who admits this in person to their customers, members, and guests? Grape Creek Winery staff.) Who owns this place? Do they ever walk in undercover to notice the need for improved communications, customer care, and daily sales and membership? Grape Creek Winery team: Please pay more attention to the need for human(e) care and treatment, kinder hospitality, and servant-style leadership. Do better. Admit the need to do better for your loyal customers and current and prospective members, too.

This winery is the only Texas winery to be listed among the World's 50 Best Vineyards, recently…read morepublished by William Reed (the long-established organizer of wine-industry ranking) and compiled by a global academy of more than 700 wine and travel experts. So it's the real deal. After you make your online reservation (which is extremely easy to do), you're greeted at the entry gate a hostess / staff member, who comes wine-in-hand to give you a welcome beverage and offer you a greeting that excites Texas Hospitality. You're briefly shown thegrounds, walked over to your tasting room, and introduced to your server. The grounds are absolutely lovely. This time of year the vineyards are lush and green. The property overlooks a lovely valley that reminds me of California. Walk around and you'll discover a lovely Monarch butterfly garden teaming with life. We saw over a dozen butterflies and a hummingbird. And the colors of the garden are so vibrant. We had a lovely tasting, bought a bottle of wine to take back to our VRBO, and before leaving, we ordered some food from their cafe and ate in one of their patios. The food was expensive but everything was of the highest quality and had to be made from scratch. The tacos came in beef (an amazing smoked beef cheek) or chicken (adequately spiced with Hatch green chillies) and homemade flour tortillas, homemade chips, and amazing salsa that I would have bought a bottle of if they sold it. Today's tasting was all red. But they switch things out seasonally and you may get whites or roses. But here's what you should know. Only 3% of Texas wineries only ever use Texas grapes. Some offer estate wines and many bring grapes in from the Texas High Plains but those are most often then blended with grapes from California, Washington or elsewhere. This place only works withTexas grapes. So... you're going to get the purest expressions of what the Texas soil and climate produces. This includes Tennat (tons of tannin) and Mourvedre (a small grape with thick skin that also delivers high tannin and is earthy, smokey, peppery... very savory). These grapes are celebrated in Spain, France and Uruguay. So you may be quite familiar with them. But they are very different from the far fruitier wines you may be most familiar with. They are certainly not California Napa cabs or pinots, Sonoma chards or Lodi zins. So know what you're getting into. Since they rotate their tastings, we'll come back and try more of their offerings. I really respect what they are doing here, and wineries like this are part of what makes Texas great.

Overall, I really enjoyed our experience at William Chris and had a wonderful time! We were greeted…read morewith a welcome wine (Mary Ruth) which is one of the flagship whites. This ended up being my favorite wine, not only of the whole tasting, but of the multiple vineyards we visited that day. We were brought to our tasting station which allowed for standing only and our guide was very knowledgable about the wines. I especially liked that he was purposefully reluctant to share the wine notes so that we could judge for ourselves (however, as someone who only tastes notes of wine and nothing else, it made it a little difficult). We ended up with a lineup of reds which was not what I expecting. Despite not being a huge fan of red wine, I still fully enjoyed myself and the wine that we tried. Our guide even gave us another tasting to try that was a off menu. I will be back and hopefully, I can try some more whites at that time! My biggest regret is not buying a bottle of the Mama Ruth. What in the world was I thinking?

Yes we had a drink in our hand but instead of staying so sorry, you can't bring drinks in here, we felt discriminated by the hostess asked is there alcohol in it?

He proceed to say TABC doesn't allow it, and we would get shut down. Where's your southern hospitality? Simple, "so sorry but you can't bring alcohol beverages in here that you purchase else where"would've be sufficent. Do not recommend, bring back the southern hospitality, or get rid of him.

If you're looking to visit some wineries in the outskirts of Austin, I recommend it with Arlen!…read more Arlen was sweet, knowledgable, and funny. He picked us up from our Airbnb and drove us 45 mins out and back, while we blasted some rachet songs to sing haha. He would check in on us during the winery to see if we needed anything or have any questions, and he would offer to help us take multiple pictures. He also got one of the wineries to allow us to explore their cellars! On our last day in Austin, he drove by our airbnb to pick up someone else and honked at us as we waited for our uber. We were all so happy to see him again, as we all enjoyed our experience with him. I recommend Texas Tipsy Tours with Arlen ;)
