Cute winery in Dripping Springs. This is our second time to do a tasting. It has gotten a lot…read morebusier and more popular than the last time we were here. We just popped in for some tastings since we were staying next door at Lucky Arrow Retreat. Everyone was nice, but we wanted to move where we were doing our tastings because the staff had to keep going behind where we were standing and we had to keep moving out of their way... but we were asked to not move because other people might want that other spot. Kind of awkward because we were there first, but we are pretty easy going so we just brushed it off (even though there was literally no one else doing a tasting at that time). I hope that they don't get so busy that they lose the customer service that we loved the first time and had us wanting to come back again. They have beautiful outdoor spaces to hangout and relax with some beer or wine.

Live music but not too loud so can still talk. I'd go back and with a bigger crowd next time.

Nut allergy friendly: I had no issues here with the tasting nor the restaurant…read more Note that Yelp has one listing for the entire place whereas Google Maps seems to separate them into the Bistro and the shop. They are attached, all one building. They are really responsive! I accidentally booked a reservation for 14 instead of 13, asked for a refund, and received it within a day. We arrived 10 minutes early for our appointed tasting time, and spent it wandering around the shop. We were led to the back tasting room on time and seated with a delicious tasting set of 6 olive oils and 4 balsamic vinegars, along with some bread as a palette cleanser. Our host was very informative and each olive oil and balsamic were noticeably different. The Sicilian was a great tasting Olive Oil x Italian Herb type of feeling, and most of the olive oils had the authentic black peppery aftertaste. I ended up going home with some of the Terra Verde to share with people, as well as the fig balsamic vinegar. We ended up eating at the bistro here, too (Order-to-entree: ~25 minutes-35 minutes for the entire table of 13). The flatbread was very sharable among two people. Everyone did comment on how the olive oil notes stood out in their dishes! The prices were extremely reasonable and they set aside a long table for our large group, great service all around. Overall, we had a great experience here and would definitely recommend the tasting for a unique nonalcoholic experience in the area.

Making a road trip to the hill country for an olive oil tasting trip was not on my bingo card, but…read morewhen wifey wants to go, then we go. I've known that the rocky soils in the Texas Hill Country are good for wine producing, but recently learned that it is also great for making great olive oils. With many misleading brands in the grocery store, extra virgin olive oil includes a high percentage of seed oils as Texas does a poor job of regulating what the label says. As we are constantly looking for better options to prepare our foods, finding a healthy olive oil has been on our minds recently. Texas Hill Country Olive Co. is not only producing authentic oils, but is also an award winning brand for doing such. During the tasting, we not only sampled a variety of oils and balsamic vinegars they produce, but also learned the history of doing so. The 4 s, sniff, swirl, sip, and swallow was the process to get the true taste to come alive in our mouths. We ended up buying the Sicilian olive oil and Blackberry balsamic vinegar to take home, as they were our favorites. There are many to choose from, so it's worth doing the tasting. If you have an afternoon free, desire a new experience, and want to view the beautiful hill country landscape, then this may be just the trip for you.

The setting at Hawks Shadow Winery is gorgeous and the fact that you can take it all in while sipping wine on their patio makes it even better. Parking is great, many options available and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, truly passionate about what they do. We got the classic wine tasting for $15/per person which comes with a tasting of four wines although we were given an extra wine to taste in a testament to how friendly the staff is. There's something about sitting up in the hills with wine that just feels incredibly relaxing as a whole. THe view is breathtaking, you can see for miles up there across rolling green hills. It was windy when we were up there so you may want to wear clothes that are tighter fitting to you. The interior of the winery is modern and nicely put together. They sell different tiers of wine tasting alongside a charcuterie board and chocolates should you want a snack while there. One of the highlights is that they offer a cellar tour of their wines for free on request. We saw a large group taking advantage of that when we peeked down there. They were also incredibly accommodating of our dog while we were on the patio and brought him a bowl to drink from while out there. Free water bottles are also available to grab, which is very nice of them to put out for patrons. These are people who care tremendously about what they do and the land they do it on. They deserve all the praise we've given them and strongly encourage anyone looking for something to do in hill country to stop by, you won't regret it.

I originally thought it was just the front area with some double seating, oh no, there was a whole inside area wide open! So great!! There was also outside seating with yard games as well! They also had a van that converted into a photobooth so you can take pictures and send them to yourself for free, amazing! They had games where you can occupy some time with friends while drinking some cocktails. There's a merch shop out in front if you are fancing grabbing some shirts or any sort of thing! Loved their drinks - had their Espresso Martini and was definitely a fan of their Spicy Ranch Water! Service was also great, can't complain about that! The food did take a little longer for it to be ready which was a little annoying since I only ordered their queso with chips and their pork belly tips. Parking: seemed pretty easy from when we first got there, but I can assume it can be a little hard once it's busier.
