    Stopped by this place right before closing time. We were lucky enough to be able to do a tasting. The Rose and Tempranillo were the best out of the 4 we tasted. The tasting was $15. They have a cute patio where you can bring your dog. You can also bring outside food to enjoy with your glass of wine. They do sell local bread. The tasting room smells heavenly with the fresh bread right at your side. Staff was great. Would definitely recommend.

    Carson was the best wine person ever! He was very accommodating and knowledgeable and friendly. We recommend this place to everyone that comes to the Texas Hill country. 10 out of 10!! Carson or bust!!! We bought two bottles of wine because of him. We will definitely be back!

    I loved this venue! It was so welcoming! They have a beautiful covered patio with a gorgeous chandelier. We stopped by on a Thursday afternoon and happened to be the only people there at that time. Jarod did our wine tasting and he was both personable and knowledgeable. We all enjoyed their Swim Spot white wine and I appreciated the fact that if you bought 2 bottles of wine, you got your tasting free.

    It's beautiful and so cozy with picturesque view. We sampled a few glasses before deciding on rose wine, round mountain, and white wine, swim spot. Don't miss this hidden gem. Staff is so friendly too!

    Doug Lewis and Duncan McNabb are among the younger wine makers in Texas, but are rising the bar in making quality, well structured, Texan wine. Their tasting pavilion is now open and tastings are by appointment only. The tasting pavilion is beautiful, open, and overlooks one of their vineyards planted in 2014. They have several acres of vineyards on site. You can taste the current releases for $15. The tasting is refunded if you purchase two bottles. The bottle prices here compared to other Texas wineries are decent. They make wines sourced from 100% Texas grapes. I like how their wines showcase terroir driven single vineyard wines. They focus on Mediterranean varitels. Lewis makes one of my favorite Texas white wines, Swim Spot. I wish they would can that wine so I could drink it while floating on an intertube. I also like that currently their tasting menu shows the different styles of Tempranillo from different Texas Vineyards.You can really taste how the different terroir influences the varietal. This is a great way to experience how the nauances of a growing environment affects the wine. The staff are friendly. They are not 100% familiar with the production of the wine. But, can give you some highlights while tasting. Book in advance as they are well known and can fill up for weekends several days in advance.

    On a recent trip thru hill country we stopped to one of my favorite wineries. Swim Spot is one of my favorites wines. All wines are made with 100% Texas grapes. You can taste the current releases for $15. The tasting is refunded if you purchase 2 bottles. We visited during a busy time when the cold temps arrived near Halloween and the staff were very friendly & they made room in the tasting room so you wouldn't be outside freezing. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will be back the next time we are in town!!

    Hot damn, I love this winery! They've only been open a few years, and have moved from a small tasting room into a large covered patio with comfortable furniture, big fans, and lights strung about the porch and trees creating a great modern design meets Texas Hill Country ambiance. We most recently went out for their Rose Release Party. The event was fantastic with a full patio, live music, and dogs playing in the field outside the vineyard. This winery is less than an hour from Austin, moderately priced, and fantastic for all occasions. Just make sure to call ahead to book a tasting, and you won't be disappointed. They've been bottling grapes from around Texas for the past couple years, and I'm excited to see them finally get their vineyard matured and bottled soon!

    We stopped by Crowson for a wine tasting when we were in Fredericksburg earlier this month, and it…read morewas such a special experience. Mr. Crowson (the father of Henry Crowson - the owner and winemaker, who might be a co-owner but is definitely very involved at the winery) welcome us in for a wine tasting. Since we were the only people there, it ended up being a very private, personal experience! Mr. Crowson tried the wines with us and talked to us about each. He also told us about the Crowson's non-interventionist approach to winemaking. If you enjoy or are interested in natural wine, low/no intervention wine, orange wine, or any other term that's being used right now, Crowson should definitely be on your list for a day or weekend of wine tasting in the 290/Fredericksburg/Johnson City area! (I am a fan of the low/no intervention movement, and I knew I wanted to visit Crowson when we were in the area! It's the most natural/low-intervention of all wineries in the area that I am aware of!) The wines we tasted were interesting and delicious and varied (not a tasting where all the wines take remarkably similar). The space is charming, beautiful, and very comfortable, and Mr. Crowson played some great records during our visit which added even more fun to the experience! And of course, the customer service couldn't get better than a personal tasting with Mr. Crowson, who made this a very special visit. This is a smaller winery, so I recommend you reach out to them to schedule a visit, so you can be sure they are there and open. Because you don't want to a miss a visit to this very special winery.

    What an amazing little winery!…read more We are visiting Austin for a month and wanted to do something fun for my boyfriends' birthday. Crowson came highly recommended from our friend who lives in Austin, so we made a reservation for 6 people on a Saturday for a wine tasting. They are taking Covid precautions, everything was socially distanced, our tasting was outside (and thankfully they had heaters so we were quite nice and warm), and everyone was wearing masks! The wine was absolutely delicious and we all loved the wine we had here. One of only two places in Texas that has natural wines (nothing added). This is a very cozy, homey, winery- they make you feel so welcome, are very gracious and just a fun time ! Henry and his dad were a delight. Highly recommend this place!

I'm a sucker for rosé, so I ordered a glass and it ended up being one of the best I've had from a Texas winery.

The whole experience felt laid-back, personal and genuinely relaxing. I'll definitely be back and next time, I'm leaving with a bottle of that rosé.

He launched his own wine brand after the birth of his daughter in 2012, Tatum Rose - and thus began the next chapter in his winemaking career. With a focus on single-vineyard and Rhône varietals, Joshua has become well recognized for his quality wine production. Many long-time Texas wine fans will also remember the 2012 Hotspur, with the gorgeous wine label - just might have a bottle or two left in the cellar library! In the beginning, you could find Josh's wines at a few pop-up events which were great to attend and chat with the winemaker as you sampled his small batch produced wines. It has been a very long time coming, but the small boutique winery tasting room in Johnson City is a great addition to this journey. What was once a barbershop (which still has some of that décor) has now become the go-to tasting room for Tatum Cellars in this quaint vintage building in the downtown Johnson City square. There are currently five wines to sample. All wines on the list are currently single vineyard, plus all Texas Hill Country fruit. Production is just around 1000 cases per year, so the hands-on and personal quality checks are all there. The first bottle sampled was the 2023 Trois Étoiles. This classic Rhône style blend was crafted from Uplift Vineyard fruit and is a blend of 63% Marsanne, 21% Viognier and 16% Roussanne. It is well balanced and quite refreshing with notes of stone fruit, good acids, and a bit of minerality. Next to sample, was the 2024 Rosé of Carignane. This newbie on the list was whole cluster pressed from Spicewood Vineyards with a very beautiful nose followed by a crisp and refreshing wine. An ecxcellent wine for warm weather days. Moving to the red wines, the first to sample was the 2020 GSM. Oh my... this mighty beast is loaded with robust flavors, good acids and is very well balanced. The Grenache (60%) was sourced from Uplift Vineyard and the Syrah and Mourvèdre (20% each) came from Salt Lick Vineyards for this super fine GSM. The next red wine sampled was the 2020 Syrah. For this vintage, the fruit was left hanging on the vines longer than normal and it underwent extra maceration and had a "splash" of Mourvèdre added to it. It has very nice smoky notes to it along with natural tannins to dance across your palate for that big mouthfeel satisfaction. Rounding out this fantastic tasting experience was the 2020 Mourvèdre sourced from Salt Lick Vineyards. Sitting at 15.4% abv, this high alcohol wine is well integrated with spicey notes and a touch of nuttiness on the finish. This wine was made with Montepulciano skins as part of the process for a little extra full feel and color for this wine. Everything on the tasting menu is take home worthy. You might also notice the collection of vinyl records in the corner and LP player as you sip and savor both the wines and the music collection. This small tasting room has a well shaded backyard area for that little feel of Hill Country outdoors enjoyment to compliment the classically cool inside décor. As a bonus, they are open till 8pm! You will get the vibe of how this place fits in well with the small town feel that still lingers in Johnson City when you stop in and enjoy a visit. The team is friendly, and the space is hip. It's a great place to sip, relax, and enjoy your favorite record music and wine pairing. Cheers!
