I Went to their storefront here in castroville and met adalia, a complete sweetheart. A good variety of ciders to try, they are extra kind to us old vets (tell them you are a vet for a glass of cider). I met some great people in the cozy front room, then ate the sandwhiches i brought in (you can bring food, just not drink). What an absolutely wonderful experience. A must try.

I've driven past Hill Country Cider House a few times since my parents moved to Castroville and…read morenever checked it out until this weekend. After dinner, we stopped for Fiorella Friday and ended the night at Hill Country Cider House. It is a really comfortable space. There are a few tables in the main room, with extra rooms available for overflow. The guy running the bar had a strong country warmth to him and was clearly knowledgeable about every cider they were pouring. My parents and my girlfriend all ordered the hot cider made with their 'Tis the Season cider, I think. They all really enjoyed it and its warmth. I ordered a cider mule, which was also excellent. A whole bottle of their cider can definitely get the night going, and I am excited to buy some bottles to take back with me next time I am in Castroville. RIYL: Ciders, houses, or the Hill Country

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!

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.

Even with that, the bartender took good care of us as we had to sit outside. I normally like sitting outside, but this area seems like an afterthought and like you're not part of the party. They came and got us when there was space inside, so we still had a fantastic time. When it cleared out, it really cleared out! We started with a sampler and loved all of them. My friend is a member and by the end of our time there, I joined also! All the wines were so delicious. Also, the owner was walking around greeting everyone...I always like that, as it makes you feel valued.

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.

When we arrived, we waited in line at the bar since we weren't sure what to do. There wasn't a sign that said seat yourself. We told the bartender it was our first time here and wanted to know what their process for ordering was. She mentioned several people called in and for that night we would have to go to the bar to order food or drinks then they would give us a number and serve us. We ended up ordering one drink each only since we were more interested in the band. We sat ourself outside and there was already a large crowd around 7ish. Still found a place to sit and enjoy the sunset. They had plenty of space and while we were waiting for the band we noticed one gentleman already singing. We waited for the band to show up but ended up leaving because this gentleman that was singing was catering to a much much older crowd and his music selection was very sleepy for us on a Saturday night. Not sure what happened to the band, maybe they were running late but overall still enjoyed our drinks and relaxed. We did not order food but might return and try it then. They do have several containers of water to access without going to the bar every time which was convenient.
