The owner, Gil, was on hand to lead us through a flight of wines (I believe it was $5 for 5 tastings) and he effortlessly charmed us through the entire selection. He's obviously very proud of the work they do at Pillar Bluff, and deservedly so. Of particular note are a very fruity Chenin Blanc and Ruby Port. But the standout is a sweet and crisp Reisling - one of a very few wineries in Hill Country to offer one, and it's excellent! Definitely add this winery to your list if you're willing head off the beaten track between Dripping Springs and Fredericksburg.

We got the fig and prosciutto pizza (had feta and balsamic glaze on top) and it was decent. It would have been better with some arugula on top! It needs a little bit of savory for it to not lean too far into a dessert pizza. Very much appreciated they made the food in-house compared to some of the other wineries in the hill country.

Hands down the best paella we have ever had! That's another review though! LOL The Horne family that owns and runs 7 Creeks are great folks. Always stopping by to visit (when they can, it stays pretty busy on weekend days), and they're all willing to talk about how they make the wine, wine and food pairing, etc. They offer some food items, e.g., charcuterie board, Fat Boy Cheese and crackers (if you haven't had Fat Boy cheese, you gotta get you some of that-- delicious!). And, they welcome you bringing your own food. It's a good place for families, usually quite a few there, plenty of room for kids to run around and exhaust themselves! :-) 7 Creeks usually has live music on Saturdays, and often has special menus cooked and offered by Jerry Horne, he is a fantastic cook... gumbo, street tacos, etc. Well worth your time to stop by the winery in Burnet, TX. Highly recommend 7 Creeks Vineyard.

The healthy portion of Burrata cheese, the acidity in the balsamic glaze and tomatoes creates a seamless match with the Sangiovese, enhancing the wine's red fruit characteristics without washing out the palate. For this trip, I also tasted the 2023 Meritage, a dark, complex blend anchored by Texas grown grapes including Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon balanced with Cabernet Franc. Offers layered aromas of cassis, graphite, baking spices and grounded by structured, firm tannins. My previous review included the feedback that prices were incredibly high. Now, the prices of everything else has caught up. Good job Team Perissos. The hospitality of the staff is why we moved to Texas in the 80s.

Great ambiance as well, a jazz sax playing on a Saturday afternoon during our last visit. Big screen on outdoor patio provides plenty of Fall football.

I came here with some family so we had a party of eight, we had plenty of room at a large table inside. There are indeed mules on site in case anyone was wondering. You may not get to see them depending on weather and their moods. The staff are all friendly and helpful. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, we stayed inside to get away from the July in Texas heat. The food is good. Just some solid snacks to go with your wine samples. Get a pizza or some dips, skip the cheese boards. Also, skip the premixed espresso martini. The flights are a great way to try a lot of drinks.

The place is very pretty. It has upstairs and downstairs seating. It also has outside patio seating.. We were able to taste five of the wines on the train and were happy to see that they didn't only choose the sweet ones. I'm used to these events having mostly sweet wines. Our favorite was the Tioja. At the winery, we decided to buy three bottles of wine to share between eight of us. We bought a tioja, a red wind, and a Sangiovese. We all enjoyed the wines and even bought some to take home. The winery staff was super friendly and gave us a lot of suggestions. They did sell chicken salad, sandwich boxes, but we decided to go eat at a restaurant nearby instead.

Knob Creek rocks, Elijah Craig rocks, a Ranch Water (a bit too sweet), and a classic Italian Aperol Spritz. Dinner on the patio starting with a smoked bacon appetizer followed by a wedge salad. Sugared bacon was delicious. Wedge didn't have the salad core removed which was a bit disappointing. Shared a coal-fired Margarita pizza with chicken added. Pizza was cooked perfectly and was delicious with a healthy amount of ingredients, including the excellent blend of cheeses. Our waiter Peter was very professional, friendly and informative. Definitely recommend the Vineyard for an upscale night out with excellent ambiance featuring a Mediterranean decor. Will go back.

I walked in the side door to go to game room (not the restaurant) with 3 other guests and my service dog, who is a small Shih Tzu, he did not have is vest on, but he has been there many time before without his vest. Crystal literally jumps out of her chair in her office and runs in the hallway to scream at me that I can't have my dog in there in front of everyone, she did not pull me to side, she did not use any customer service skills, she just screamed at me. I told her he was a service dog and I think she said well he has to have his vest with the worst attitude. I did as she requested and removed the dog from the building and sat outside with my dog. This was a work meeting for me with clients and she embarrassed me, upset my clients and honestly I have never seen someone so passionate about kicking out a cute shih-tzu in my life. It was like she was having a bad day or something and she wanted to take it out on me. I have been coming to the vineyard over a decade and I've never seen a sign saying no pets allowed maybe the rules changed, and I will gladly comply if they did, but it was not that the fact that she asked me to remove the dog, it was the tone and the way she yelled at me that was so concerning and I think as a vineyard you should know about this incident and that lots of people have pets, Austin is a pet friendly city and she could have been a lot kinder and use some customer service skills to get her point across with the little class and grace that you expect from a vineyard establishment. Everyone is there to have a good time and have a meaningful experience with the staff, not get yelled by an unhinged employee. I have nothing but good things to say about the other employees, everyone is always kind and gracious. Next time we return Louis will have his service dog vest on.
