Great staff unexpected when you walk in, many wine casks. Love their story about getting grapes from vineyard and making the wine on the spot read more

The Austin Winery was light and airy. The staff were friendly and offered suggestions based on my preferences. There are food trucks right outside the winery and they offer some nibbles while you sip; including boozy desserts. There also appeared to be a bakery in the winery,too. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about the Austin Winery, the wine was just not to my preferred taste. I love their mission and what they're bringing to the Austin community. read more

Rating: 3.1/5 We tried The Austin Winery on two different occasions, and both times their wine was just okay or not good. The first time was a wine flight we had catered at our apartment, while the second time, we visited in person with a group of friends. Honestly, the wines we buy from Costco taste better. We did the $20 wine tasting flight where you get to choose 3 from the menu. The pros are that it's cheap and they give generous pours, but the con is that the wines don't taste good. Thank goodness I shared with my husband because I wouldn't have been able to finish it myself. 1. Picpoul Blanc: One Elm Vineyards - High Plains white wine with notes of lemongrass, pink lemonade, and raspberry. It was okay. 2. Aqua Pazza - High Plains/High Country orange wine with notes of apricot, candied lemon, and orange zest. It tasted like a bitter citrus wine and was our least favorite of the wines we tried. 3. GSM: Salt Lick Vineyards - Hill Country chilled red wine with notes of mint berry crunch and herbal. I think we prefer non-chilled red wine, since the tannins were super muted, but the cold temperature does make it more enjoyable on a hot day. Lavender Haze ($15): This is a wine cocktail made with Ocho, lemon, lavender simple syrup, topped with Rambler, and garnished with a lemon wheel. Ocho is a Salt Lick Vineyards - Hill Country white wine with soft lychee, beeswax, and freshly minted bills. It's a light and bright wine cocktail that's great for an afternoon drink. Bread With Oil & Balsamic Reduction ($6): You definitely need to dip the bread in the balsamic reduction; otherwise, the bread is just so bland by itself. Recommend getting the shareables instead, since the bread doesn't really add anything to the wine tasting. Our friends got the charcuterie, and the meat, cheese, and fig really helped us get through the wine flight. read more

My wife and I stumbled in here on a day date and had a awesome experience. We did a tasting and all the wines were excellent. My wife is a big fan of their Red Nat. From that point on we were hooked. We went on to become wine club members and we have had birthday party's here. Enjoyed the locations anniversary parties and it's just become a part of hour neighborhood and life. The Austin Winery kicks ass in anyway you could possibly imagine. Great wine, amazingly knowledgable employees and owners and a super comfortable me space. read more

Last week we had a friend in town and decided to take him to The Yard (St. Elmo District). My first time there was just a couple of weeks ago for a Yelp event. All of the businesses that participated were pretty great and the concept is cool and we just thought it was a great place to check out. One of the places I returned to was The Austin Winery. They were super busy the night of the Yelp event yet took the time with each of us to explain the different wines they offer. In doing so, we never felt rushed nor did it seem we had to wait long. I wanted to return for that reason and to try more of their offerings. We were not disappointed. They were busy when we took our friend but we were still able to experience the same great service and same great beverages. We had a bottle of Ocho from Salt Lick Vineyards, made with grapes from Texas Hill Country. What a delightfully refreshing and flavorful bottle to share on a sunny and mild Sunday afternoon with friends. read more

What a great place in the middle of Austin. Located in The Yard off of St Elmo, this winery who makes all their own wines from Texas grapes offers wine by the glass, bottle or flight. With a short list of appetizers and a comprehensive ambiance of wine-making tools amongst the tables, hosts like Ryan are eager to share their knowledge and the special process of providing wine true to the Terra they come from. The entire complex is full of warehouses with painted corrugated steel that is photo-worthy. Relaxed and very Austin! Give it a try! read more

Great selection of wines and orange fortified wines which tasted great. The food trucks nearby are worth checking out so you can sit inside and enjoy. Brought my dog and parrot and they welcomed them inside. All the servers were friendly and accommodating. read more

If you are ready to enter a world beyond the same old grapes and wines, then this is the place! Austin winery has some of the best and most interesting wines coming out of Texas. Plenty of fun and funky natural wines with some familiar classics too. Price points are typically around 20-40, which is a sweet spot for quality. The space is a great hang and everyone on the team is so great and happy to chat wine all day long read more

My bf introduced me to this gem of a tasting room. They specialize in natural wines made in TX and have a variety of options from white to orange and reds. Recently visited for a Yelp Elite event and they had a DJ spinning which made the ambience even more fun. Ryan and Turner are the best winetenders. There is indoor and outdoor seating plus an upstairs loft. Small selection of snacks to go along with the wines. My favorite is the Work Horse (red) and Cerasuolo (rosé that was made for red wine drinkers) which they will have back on the menu soon. read more

How I haven't done a review of this spot is beyond me! We love Austin winery. From the service to the vibe to the Violet Crown wine, everything about this is perfection. Conveniently located in the St Elmo district and serving the best wine in Austin, you can't go wrong visiting this hidden gem. read more

Came in for a fundraiser. It's always a lovely experience visiting the Austin winery. The staff is very kind, professional and knowledgeable about all the wine selections. I love supporting local businesses and this is just that. They have a nice laid back atmosphere with a selection of yummy small bites on the menu. There's also a food truck available if you want a bigger meal. The hardest part about visiting is making the selection of wine bc there are so many great options. A local business who fundraising with local charities in the area is always going to be top tier! Thanks for helping the community and serving up yummy wine. read more

The employees were very friendly and knowledgeable about the wines. They explained best sellers and gave suggestions based on our preferences. We purchased two flights. They are on the pricier side but they were good wines. Will be back again if in the area. read more

Texas wineries are booming in Austin/Dripping Springs. The Austin Winery is located in St. Elmos and reisdes on the opposite end of St elmos Brewry, but I would recommend skipping this one... the drinks here are too acidi lcacking in flavor and very watery. and too many fruit flies are here. I've had a flight with the cheese board and just bleh. Truly did not enhoy my time here. Would suggest skipping this one. cute vibe, perfect for a relaxed date night or a girls night to yap. If you're looking for deeper, richer flavored wine, I would go somewhere else. Love they are dogfriendly and the ample spacing The atmosphere is lively with board games and great decor inside, and a food truck and lots of picnic tables outside for large groups. Texas wineries are thriiiiving in the Austin/Dripping Springs area. The Austin Winery, located in St. Elmo's, is situated at the opposite end of St. Elmo's Brewery. If you're familiar with this commercial area, you're no stranger to the amount of alcoholic options on this strip. I love it-- it's like halloween for adults. The Austin Winery's ambiance is cute and perfect for a relaxed date night or a casual girls' yap session. The venue is dog-friendly with ample space, which is a plus. However, that's about all The Austin Winery has to offer... I ordered a flight, which comes with 3 of their wines (your pick) for $20 along with a small charcuterie board ($15). The wines I ordered all had a common theme of being overly acidic and lacking in depth/complexity. There were fruit flies everywhere and constantly falling in my glass, which made me think this may also be the reason why the wines tasted the way they did... fruit flies can spoil the wine and make the it dull... the charcuterie board was overpriced and underwhelming. if you're seeking deeper, richer-flavored wines, you might want to explore other options or any of the other alcoholic stops on the strip. read more

Parking - free parking lot Service - friendly and knowledgeable Options - many wine choices that are good quality and some fun blends. Food - usually a food truck around the corner. Seating - mix of high tops, some lounge couches, and low tables for different sized parties. Ambiance - upscale casual; great music choices a blend of new and old school they isn't too loud (conversations are easy to hold). read more

Loved the modern and bright vibe this winery had! We stumbled upon it while exploring the area so we decided to go inside. It was fun to talk to the wine-makers and get an idea for which to try. There isn't a super wide selection, but they will help you find something. Only thing I was a little disappointed about was that all the white wines were orange wines. I shared a Rose called Once Upon a Time in Texas with the girls and it was delicious and full, without being super sweet. We also ordered the large Cheese & Charcuterie board which was very delicious and larger than it looks. My only suggestion would be to label the cheeses/what's on the board - because it's not on the menu either. We loved all the fixings on the board, and I'm still thinking about the soft cheese! read more

Love the wines - the best! and the art on the bottles. I pop in here once in a while (often with kids in tow) and grab a few bottles to go. 100% of the time I get great service with tastes and guidance and zero expectation of leaving a massive tip on a to go order (austin you know what I'm talking about). I always tip them because I Want to, not because the tipping culture in austin is out of control, but because the staff is on point and they don't expect it. Keep up the great service and fantastic wines!! You are the best. read more

This is in an industrial area and this winery is so beautifully put together! Their barrels & tanks are inside and a small bar with nice glasses and pouring area. I meet Cooper, he told me a bit about their wines and they had a launch this afternoon for their new Merlot. I tried a glass was very good, not too sweet and all natural fermentation. Next to their space is Reem's which we stopped by to get a pita. Enjoyed meeting one of the guys and loved learning he knows some Maryland wineries like Rocklands Farm in Poolesville Md. So worth stopping by and enjoying a glass! read more

A winery that is in an industrial area that had some natural Texas wine and some decent tasting wine! There wasn't any particular wine that stood out during our second visit. Although all the wines were palatable. We were kind of bummed because the first time we visited there was a red wine that we really enjoyed. It turns out their batches are very limited. We will keep coming hoping that we find another wine we really enjoy here but will make sure we buy a case. read more

Loved the chill vibe and authentic feel of this winery. You can try three different wines in each flight. Most of their wines are on the bitter side, and I particularly liked the reds. The bartender was quite knowledgeable so the tastings turned out to be fun. Only drawback is that they close at 9 which is kinda early for a Friday night. read more

Had a nice experience here when meeting for an informal networking event. They are true wine enthusiasts and have lots of knowledge to share with anyone who is interested. Turner talked us through a brief tasting and was extremely welcoming! I loved learning that all of their wines are Natural Wines. I really enjoyed the Ocho, which is one of the 3 white wines I tried. All we're very good; the Ocho was just right for the moment. I'm usually not too impressed with Texas wines but all that I tasted were good! The indoor area was nice and cool during the hot evening and had a good amount of seating. There were picnic tables and a food truck outside. I didn't try the food but the sandwich looked great and was a huge serving! Overall I really like this place and look forward to coming back! read more

This is one of my favorite spots down south and always take friends from out of town to visit when we aren't feeling the drive the Hill Country. Honestly this is a great spot as always. Went this past weekend for their collab with SXSE's chef where he was pairing seafood dishes with their petnat. Those dishes and wine paired so well together. I really enjoyed the red petnat and got the residual sweetness from the apples. Everyone was friendly and it was busy and they even had a DJ playing some good music. Perks: it's dog friendly! So me and my dogs will be visiting again soon read more

I like the friendly service, unfortunately the wines that I tried were just okay. I had a wine flight, you get 3 half-glass pours for $20. I selected the Pet-Nat, Roussanne and Violet Crown. There were only six wines to chose from when I visited but it looks like they make more than that. This winery is in a good location to hit up a few different spots for drinks. read more

This was a great experience. First time for everything that ambience was awesome and the history lessons were awesome.

It was my first time there and the staff were super friendly, they gave me recommendations and made me feel so welcomed.

All 3 wines were delicious and the items on the board as well. Definitely a great experience! read more

We happened into this neck of the woods because the red M3P that we've been waiting on from Tesla for a millennium is finally being delivered this week, so we're on the hunt for an excellent Tesla service center (the one next to us up north leaves a bit to be desired), which we have now most definitely found here on St. Elmo (shout out to Sadie and Kyle)! Luckily, it also happens to be right next to this absolute gem of a winery! #winning Travis, our wine journey guide, was the sweetest, most knowledgeable, and most approachable human being on earth, and we thoroughly enjoyed our Saturday afternoon stop! The bright and airy space, the pitch perfect music, the yummy wine (we had both the Work Horse Red Blend and the Violet Crown Tempranillo. Deliciously dry reds!), and Travis all collaborated to make this a most excellent pit stop! Thanks, Austin Winery! Thanks, Travis! read more

Ok so I accompanied my boyfriend to the brewery and distillery nearby, so of course we had to stop for the obligatory glass of wine for me. I was not going to get any snacks, but their cheese and charcuterie board was calling my name. We both got the tasting. Each of us got different wines. Our favs were the Tempranillo, Grenache and spaghetti western. You can get all your wines at once or one at a time. I suggest getting them all at once because staff can get busy. The cheese and charcuterie board paired well with our wines and it was definitely the perfect snack. Loved the cheese selection. The bread sprinkled with olive oil made my day cause who doesn't love bread They have inside and outside seating available. Parking is onsite, but shared with other businesses. read more

My friends generously gave me a gift card here so I decided to try it out, and I'm so glad I did!! Vibes here are immaculate. The staff were all so friendly, and I loved talking to the other customers at the bar area. We got a white and red wine (Work Horse), and I especially loved the red -- it was so deep in flavor without causing a burning sensation in your throat afterwards. Charcuterie board was also pretty neat! If I'm ever in the area again, I'd love to come back and try the wine tasting for $20/person! read more

My fiancé and I were exploring this area and stopped by this place because we were looking for a place to talk and chill. This place was spacious with tables and couches surrounded by wine barrels. I thought the service was friendly and knowledgable. I'm not a wine drinker and they had great recommendations for my lack of a wine palate. They have some fruit forward wines which were delicious! I recommend the Red Nat. Just like the write in the little card, it's lightly sweet and delicious! The wine flight was $20 and I shared it with my fiancé and definitely felt like it was worth it. I love the vibes of this place and recommend this for a group hangout or a date night. Grab a glass or a flight, bring a game or a book, and have a good time! read more

The Austin Winery - Wine Flight: Calaveritas (left red) Albariño (middle white) Red-Nat (right rose) - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Austin, Texas

Star service and a non-judgmental space. I dig you, Austin Winery! We decided on Austin Winery after we had plans to go to Spokesman next door for some beers. Unfortunately, Spokesman had an event going on that looked a little noisy and full for our study date, hence the change in venues. The winery was very spacious and lofty--I love that in an industrial winery! We asked if we could move a table (to plug in to their only one outlet--score!) and do some computer work with their wifi. The gal at the tasting room was fantastically wonderful. She gave us a large smile and told us to do whatever we wanted. Wonderful service alone will get me to come back. That's for sure. We each got a flight of wine to try, and got down to it until they closed. They have a good selection of whites, rose's and reds, so fret not friends. All is provided. They also have some light bites like cheeses and charcuteries, so you can definitely go with that if you're hungry. The tastings were a little pricey compared to what you might get at a wine tasting out in the vineyards (I used to work in the industry), but you're paying for the convenience of being in South Austin and lots of space to hold conversations, play board games and just be with your groups. They have loads of seating and an upstairs area (that a Bachelorette party was using). Restrooms are clean and wifi is strong. We also walked home with some Brose (a hilarious take on rose especially because it was a women-lead winery effort). Clean, classy and airy space. read more
