Back of Tasting Room

My team had our holiday party here. It's a bit hard to find the place and the place to turn into the parking area. The place is made to resemble a prohibition era bar and has a rustic yet cozy atmosphere with hip music playing in the background. The host and staff were friendly. Our party had 2 large charcuterie boards. They tasted alright but I wish there was a bit more flavor (as I've tasted other charcuterie boards before) and that there were more crackers and baguette pieces for all the cheeses and such. Some of us ordered the Street Tacos from the menu. These tacos had green chili chicken that were garnished with pickled red onion and cilantro. They were pretty good and the price was very reasonable for them. We also ordered the Tomato and Goat Cheese. This was whipped goat cheese with a mixture of cherry tomatoes, shallots, garlic, and some herbs. The spread tasted alright but was a bit pricey for the small plate. There was a bit of confusion with ordering and the bill but the hosts were nice and we got the situation straightened out. My coworkers also enjoyed some of the wines there too. We all had a great time and it was an interesting experience.

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

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!

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!

Red wine tasting
Jeanette D.

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.

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!

Wine club rules

We were in town for another winery quarterly wine pick up party. That winery no longer allows you to open your bottles of wine at the party or allow dogs. As such, it wasn't a great day. We decided to go some place else. We showed up around 4pm on a Sunday and had the entire place to ourselves. It is so cute. I love the decorations and the vibe. We did the wine tasting which is $7 or waved if you buy a bottle of wine. Megan was wonderful. She was full of information and funny. We had such a wonderful time we decided to join Bell Springs wine club. Three bottles a quarter. No sign up fee. They have a wine pick up party that allows you to bring your dogs. 20% discount the first year and the discount increases every year you are a member. Free wine tasting for you and four people either at Side Car or the winery itself. You also get to pick which three bottles you want. We signed up on the spot. What is NOT to like! We enjoyed many of their wines but really it was Megan. She made us feel so welcomed and was so friendly. Bell Spring treat her right, she is a HUGE asset to you. We can't wait to attend our first wine pick up party. Hope to make it to first Thursday soon and hang out at the Side Car. If we lived in Dripping Springs this would be a weekly stop for us. What a great place in this sleepy town. We are so glad to part of their wine club and excited for the many cool events moving forward. This should be a place to stop if you are in Dripping Springs.

$15 red wine flight.

This is going to be a two part review. First off,their Bistro is a must and should not be ignored…read more The food was top tier with multiple flavors throughout the dish. Everything we tried was fresh and completely on point. The dressing on the house salad is good enough to just drink from a glass. Small and quaint dining area and the staff is beyond welcoming. Now for the main reason we visited. We signed up for the olive oil tasting. First off, this Texas guy did not know this was a thing. I never knew that there was such a big difference between true olive oil and what you purchase at the big box grocery chains. Their malt vinegar selection is also out of this world and you will never buy from a grocery store again. Sign up for the tasting and you will be a convert as well. A meal at the Bistro and the tasting room experience are worth a couple of hours of an afternoon. We will be back for brunches in the future as well as to stock up on more olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

My partner and I took a road trip out to Dripping Springs today to visit TX hill country olive oil…read moreco. The space is beautiful. We signed up for their guided tasting experience which was amazing! So educational and informative. In addition to the special edition olive oils & balsamic vinegars curated for the tasting, we were allowed unlimited samples of their infused flavored olive oils as well, which were absolutely delicious! This place offers quality olive oils and balsamic vinegars at very reasonable prices. We ended up taking home several bottles- their Sola Stella, Terra Verde, & Sicilian olive oils as well as their Traditional Balsamic and Bourbon Balsamic. After the tasting we enjoyed a light lunch at their bistro, which was delightful. Farm to table, fresh food paired with a bottle of Chardonnay made for the perfect end to our experience. Highly recommend!

Parking - plenty and a private lot. But a bit off road (lol don't bring a low car unless you get…read morelucky with paved parking). 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.

Stunning experience…read more This place has to be some of the best food my wife and I have EVER had. We came here to celebrate our anniversary recently after a close friend recommended it. Normally when I hear Italian I think of American Italian - heavy, one note, and leaves you feeling terrible after. Trattoria Lisina was none of those things. First, the location is beautiful. The entire restaurant is surrounded by Texas hill country beauty. The restaurant balances class and cozy in a way hard to explain. The wait staff is excellent and knowledgeable on the menu. Even the small details like their uniforms were excellent. The food is hard to describe. My wife spent an hour post dinner discussing how incredible it was. Every dish we tried was perfection. The fried elements were crisp. The raw elements melted in your mouth like butter. The entrees were executed in a way I've never had pasta! We will absolutely make this our "special place" for life occasions moving forward.

Located in Driftwood, which is a pretty drive on its own , worth it just for the scenery. Heads up:…read moremake reservations if you're going on a weekend, we went at 6pm on a Saturday and the place was already packed. The menu has a ton of great options. We started with salads, crab cake, and some focaccia bread that honestly disappeared in about two minutes, soft, warm, exactly what you want before a big meal. For mains we ordered several dishes: the mezzanine ravioli (hands down the winner, don't skip this one), spaghetti and meatballs, and the spaghetti bolognese. All solid, but that ravioli stuck with me. Do yourself a favor and save room for dessert. The gelato is fantastic, and the classic chocolate cake with salted caramel is the kind of thing you end up fighting over the last bite of. Overall, great spot, and the service is excellent!!!

We went here for the first time and it was amazing it has the ambience of an expensive Italian…read morerestaurant but great prices and service of a high class restaurant. I had spaghetti with meat sauce and it had a flavor that was wonderful. My wife had fettuccine Alfredo with chicken which was great. We shared a Caesar salad that was very crispy and fresh. Topped it with cheese cake that was light and creamy. Service was some of the best ever. We will be back for sure and highly recommended

We've stayed here before and had such a great experience that we were excited to come back --…read moreespecially since this time we brought a friend who had never been. Unfortunately, our experience this time didn't quite live up to the first. We arrived around 4:00 PM and were told the dinner menu didn't start until 5:00 PM, which was completely fine. We decided to order appetizers/salads from the lunch menu instead and wait until 5 to order our meals. All three of us ordered the Cleopatra salad, which was listed at $16 on the lunch menu. We expected it to either be really good or at least a substantial portion for that price. Unfortunately, we all found it overly sweet from the combination of the honey dressing, candied pecans, and cranberries, and there was very little feta. To make matters worse, we later noticed that we were charged $18 per salad, the dinner price, even though we ordered them around 4:20 PM. Paying $54 for three small, appetizer-sized salads with very few toppings was extremely disappointing. We were also told they were out of sangria because they had sold out the night before and hadn't had time to make more. It was a Saturday, so that was another disappointment, especially because we had really enjoyed the sangria during our previous visit. The biggest disappointment, however, was the shrimp scampi. Our waiter was very kind and actually recommended it, so I was looking forward to trying it. I almost never send food back to the kitchen, but this was one of those occasions. The shrimp were plain and steamed with no seasoning, and the pasta appeared to have no sauce or flavor. When I moved the pasta aside, there was a watery yellow liquid at the bottom that tasted very bland. For $29, I expected much more, and this is an Italian place after all. I ended up ordering the Fettuccine Giulio Cesare instead, which was much better and had considerably more flavor. That said, the lasagna and cheesecake are definitely the way to go here -- both were delicious. I just wish the overall menu were more consistent. When prices are on the higher end, you expect the quality and execution of the dishes to be consistent as well. It's frustrating to have some dishes that are absolutely delicious while others feel underwhelming or simply not worth the price. We really wanted to love our return visit as much as the first, so it was disappointing to leave feeling this way. Hopefully some of these things can be addressed, because there is clearly a lot of potential here and some truly great food.
