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.

The…read moresetting is peaceful, scenic, and grounding, with breathtaking vineyard views that I just couldn't get enough of! I can't wait to go back. My family and I went to La Contrada Vineyard and kitchen to attend a couple Goat Shenanigans events where we did goat yoga and painting with the goats at the vineyard and it was pure fun! I could not stop giggling the whole time. Throughout our yoga session, the goats would hop right onto your back as you did various yoga postures, and you could feed the goats while stretching in the sunshine. My daughter joined me during goat yoga and it turned into such a fun, bonding day for both of us. I suggest going during a time when you can enjoy the weather since this is mostly an outdoor facility. When we went the weather was perfect, the sun was shining, and the whole experience was enjoyable. We didn't order any food or drinks since we were at the vineyard for the Goats Shenanigans events (yoga and painting) however the breathtaking views alone, make it worth it to check this place out. Highly recommend if you want something unique and peaceful. The staff was also friendly and accommodating.

It's disappointing to see how much things have declined. My sister is a member and hosted her 50th birthday here, so we expected a much higher level of organization and service. The party had already started and the rest of our group was there--we arrived late due to work and ordered food immediately when we got there. Right after placing our order, we were told we had to leave soon, so we asked to cancel it. Instead of handling this professionally, a staff member (River Dan) laughed and told us the food was "almost ready" because it had supposedly been placed 15 minutes earlier--which was not true. Another person in our party had ordered the exact same pizza before we did and was still waiting on theirs. We canceled our order, and their pizza didn't come out until about 10 minutes later. That makes it very clear ours was not "about to come out" like we were told. The explanation we were given simply didn't add up. Throughout the evening, staff seemed confused about orders. Drink service was also frustrating. I asked what a "zinpom" was, was told it was basically a juice wine, declined it, and specifically ordered a Sangiovese--yet I was still given the zinpom and then it was attempted to be charged to us. What made things worse was how the event itself was handled. My sister was never clearly given an end time when reserving the table. We were only told to leave about 15 minutes before the cutoff. At other wineries, guests are usually allowed to move to a general seating area after a private event ends, but here the only option was to leave entirely. Overall, the lack of communication, poor organization, and dismissive attitude from staff really overshadowed what should have been a special celebration. We expected much better, especially for a member-hosted event. If this is how members are treated, especially those who continue to frequent this place despite ongoing service issues, I can't imagine how non-members are treated

Great Vineyard, Frustrating Food Experience…read more This was our first visit to Singing Waters Vineyard, and the property itself is absolutely darling. The setting is beautiful, the staff at the vineyard were friendly and welcoming, and the wine was tasty. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and time with friends. However, the food truck experience was a big letdown and honestly the main reason we're hesitant to return. I paid $12 for a hot dog combo (pictured)--just a single hot dog and a small bag of chips. That price felt excessive for what we received. The kids' burger was $8 and was tiny...about the size of a quarter dollar with melted cheese and chips. The value just wasn't there. What made things worse was the service. Our friends ordered the exact same food right before us and received theirs much earlier. We waited about 40 minutes longer for the same order. It was frustrating, and it did make us wonder if my earlier comment about the hot dog price being extreme played a role. The kids were all still hungry. The vineyard itself is lovely and worth visiting, but I strongly recommend reconsidering the food truck setup...either pricing, portions, or vendor choice. The food experience didn't match the quality of the venue, and it definitely affected our overall impression.

Plastic chairs treat you to a view of the highway. The barista- she was a not a sommelier- did nothing but complain to the solo customer at "The Bar" and cry about how her life sucked. There was not even any music to drown out her whining. Yeah, real professional. She was just a "wine pourer". Their are no "tastings" to be had here. Even if I needed a place to "get drunk" on wine I wouldn't choose here- the prices are ridiculously high. Seriously. A bottle of the same varietal and label was cheaper at H-E-B than it was for a GLASS of it here. The Cabernet I had tasted stale and old- almost musty/moldy. The wines did not appear to come from the vaunted "Cibola Creek Vineyards" (if that even exists). Sort of like a smattering of varietals purchased at H-E-B or Costco and up-charged to sell to here. I've been to wineries around the world: from Germany to Portugal and from France to Napa Valley... and this is not a winery- it's just a bar. I looked out back- no vineyards either- just cedar's and weeds. It's a bar that serves expensively priced, average tasting wine in a bar-like setting. Not the cleanest place either. The atmosphere is rustic hovel. Bare wood rafters, linoleum flooring and a crappy looking bar in the center. Plastic chairs treat you to a view of highway 16. The place looked and felt like a shot and a beer establishment. Where's the mechanical bull? We felt cheated and gouged. $45 for two glasses of mediocre wine and 2 chicken satay skewers. We won't be going back. A bad business idea for Pipe Creek.

Let me tell you -- worth the check out! First I need to give a shout out to Emily and Bronson -- they were very warm and welcoming, you can tell that they like where they work and that definitely makes a difference in the service industry. The inside is also warm and welcoming -- great decor, lots of seating (a couch!), and a great big bar with barstools in the middle of it all. It was really cold and rainy out, so we opted to stick inside for this visit, but they have fire pits in the back area, with tables and chairs and twinkle lights and all -- they even offer blankets and s'more fixin's to go with it. We tried their housemade Sangria and it was perfect. Just the right amount of sweetness. We also ordered the Charcuterie Plate -- they do not skimp on the goodness. Salami, ham, prosciutto, 3 kinds of cheeses (including brie!), different types of crackers, hummus, green grapes, red grapes, strawberries...I'm telling you, legit. I probably even missed listing some of the items, the spread was that extensive. Word on the street is they've brought some killer sliders to the menu recently, as well, so will be returning to try those ASAP. We were there in the early afternoon, so we did not get to experience this, but they have live music in the evenings and a trivia/karaoke night on Thursdays, we were told. Quite a nice little social meeting place they're building in this community. Go check 'em out! P.S. You have to see the bathroom walls. Pretty darn cute :)

They do offer a variety of wines to include sweet ones for those that are not into the dry wines. I like dry wines, so I had the Tempranillo. I was happy with my selection. They also have charcuterie boards and off menu items. They had a hummus board and a pimento cheese one the day we went. Everyone was lovely. The owner came and told us a little bit about his grapes. He said they are all at Texas grown. They do have inside and outside seating. The inside seating is more about community style, where there's only a long table, so you may have to share with others. Parking is available on site, but shared with a dental office. Getting to this location is tricky because GPS doesn't lead you correctly and it is hidden behind the Dental office. So if you're thinking GPS did you wrong by sending you to a Dentist, you're actually on the right track.
