    Such a cute little spot! Great service and live music. If you're debating about stopping, just stop!

    Went today with friends. Had the red wine flight...rose', montepulciano and the Tempranillo...liked them all but not enough to buy. Had the meat and cheese plate...yum. Ann (sommelier) was sweet and knowledgeable. Flagship winery is Big Springs winery (which we visited today as well) BUY LOCAL SUPPORT LOCAL

    Had a great time at Sidecar. Stopped in for lunch and a flight of wines as our first stop in Dripping and really enjoyed the setup. Lunch is from a food truck (trailer) on site. My group tasted reds and whites and all were very tasty. Food was good - had burgers and they were good quality. Setup was nice with covered tables outdoors or an indoor option. I didn't check out the brewery onsite but did see some guys partaking in the brews. I would not hesitate to return.

    Wine selection and food menu.

    Top of the hill on the wines! This place rocks and yes I would recommend. They also have beer. They have a small food menu with homemade empanadas and cheese trays . If you have a sweet tooth they have chocolate bars that pair well with wine. So check this place as a must do! We love it.

    This place is so cute!!! Amazing service. Delicious empanadas. Love the rosè! We sat outside under the oak trees and enjoyed the scenery. Perfect first stop of our bachelorette weekend!

    Red wine tasting

    Pretty good wine tasting. We did the red wine tasting. My favorite wine was the Tranquillo wine. $15 for 3 wines which is a little weak for wine tasting but the cool ambience made the trip worth it and the portions weren't weak.

    This little place is amazing!! A very welcoming and clean environment and have a nice selection of wines. Also the cheese and meat platter is so good!! We stopped by on our way to Dallas. You definitely have to check it out!

    Great little place to go taste and snack! We had a flight of the white and red and they were great. We had one of each of the empanadas and all three were so good! I'm not sure where they get those things but they are amazing. My favorite was the bbq one. They also have games you can play. Would be a good place for a date!

    Absolutely great place to stop by if you are in the Dripping Springs area. The service was top-notch and the decor is really eclectic! They have wine flight options or you can enjoy a glass if you chose. The server was incredibly knowledgeable and had great recommendations for everyone in our group. She let us try what we wanted before committing to our drink of choice. I ended up going to wine cocktail called the Texas Kiri and it fresh rosemary in it which I though was a nice touch! They also have live music outside and plenty of areas to sit and enjoy listening to it. Definitely try this place out!

    $15 red wine flight.

    Visiting from California and we wanted to go wine tasting and this was a winery nearby so we decided to give it a try. No regrets! Anne was very welcoming and friendly. She also gave us information on other wineries/breweries/distilleries to try. I had the $15 flight of reds and she also gave me an extra cup of red wine, Needy B*tch, I ended up buying a bottle! I finally found a great bottle of red that I actually enjoy, sad that I can't get it shipped to me in California. Drippin' Sweet is also great, bought a bottle as well. Love the descriptions given to the wines it made them sound all delicious. And they were! (According to all the ones I tried).

    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.

Service - we have been here about 4-5 times, but service has never been too great or too friendly. The bar on the beer side is always pleasant but the tasting bar side always has a bit of a tiny rude vibe - and I don't mention it ever but I'm in the wine industry and we don't see this normally. Also tonight we were asked to move to a different table as they didn't prepare for a Harry Potter event ahead of time just as we settled in after a rough day (and our young pup finally chilled out). It felt we were being pushed out and the other table was by the window/door that was glass so I was cold. My senior mom was cold after we had found a great spot that was warm for her. Live music tonight was also quite off - I wouldn't suggest this place anymore. I'm not sure if in the last year it has gone down hill but it's no longer worth the drive for a mediocre experience. They gave many potential beautiful spaces but they don't utilize them, nor update them, so the vibe is just outdated. No music on the speakers can be heard when there isn't live music. So sorry to not write the best review here but it's honest.

    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.

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.
