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.

This is an all South African wine spot - they serve by the glass or the bottle, or sell you bottles to take home. They have snacks as well - which take a nod from South Africa with biltong boards. For those who aren't familiar, biltong is South African air-dried, cured meat - much like jerky in concept, but the preparation makes it a bit more tender and flavorful. The setting for the space feels like you are entering an upscale cave, in the best possible way. This spot is absolutely a niche gem - just a little out of the way for me, but I would certainly return if in the area.

I had a complimentary drink ticket and decided to stick around for another. I'm not a wine drinker but I usually drink reds when I do. The selection was not very broad but there was a large menu of other non-wine drinks. I ended up trying the Frose which could have been mixed a little more, the wine was definitely separated out at the bottom. The charcuterie board was a little disappointing, one of those pre-made trays that were reminiscent of those buy on board boxes you'd get on airplanes. The inside was definitely IG/TT friendly, brightly colored, neon signs, like an influencers dream but on an early weekday afternoon it was quiet.

A secret little speakeasy if you will. We did the speakeasy wine cave tasting with a sommelier that included three wines.

The other bartender was great, but clearly overwhelmed. That would be the one downside. The bar is very small and limited in how fast they can service. Their wine selection was good. We did have a friend looking for a white wine that they did not have. Not that they ran out, they didn't have it altogether. That is surprising for a wine forward spot. But the space itself is gorgeous. The outdoor is really fun with great photo opportunities, as is the inside. It was also perfectly temperature controlled.

All the wines are made from 100% Texas grown grapes by a Texas native, Randy Hester (from Houston maybe?), who started as an intern at Cakebread Cellars in Napa. You can order by the glass or opt for a tasting. They do a great job catering to your palette and will customize the tasting most of the time. If you're driving to Fredericksburg or Georgetown for your wine membership pick ups, I highly recommend going in for a tasting here. I'd be surprised if you didn't decide to switch. They also have great member events pretty regularly. The atmosphere inside is very relaxed. It's like a little cool oasis (especially during the summer). Really, besides the wine, which speaks for itself, the staff make this place. They're knowledgeable and they all are pretty passionate about the wine. Parking is easy most days and the Yard offers some options for food that you can have brought in to you (or you can grab and bring in) or order a cheese board with your wine. Overall, 10/10 would recommend!

Their unassuming location is in The Yard off St Elmo, across from Vacancy Brewery. They managed to turn a warehouse space into an intimate and polished tasting room.

A friend who's opinion I really respect recommended Antonelli's Cheese Shop for a three cream…read morecheese. I wanted to get this for my book club soiree, but did not have time to make a visit as it is a little north of downtown. Antonelli's Cheese Shop is charming and quaint. While the shop is small they have an assortment of items to sell in addition to cheese - wine, sauces, jellies, etc. I was immediately greeted upon entry into Antonelli's cheese shop. Two other customers were being helped, however, I had a store associate offer me some cheese samples. While the samples were good, I was specifically interested in the three cream cheese. They had two choices to select from. I was hoping they had more. This is a shop you need to spend some time in to leisurely evaluate the cheeses. There was also a human size dog in the shop at the time. I don't know what is about dogs, they like to lick me. Guess what...I do not like to be licked. So, I jetted out of the store.

They have wine, jams/jelly/preserves. Chocolates, and olives. They also have premade charcuterie boards too. When I came, they were giving away free cheese everyday of the week. The first 100 people that were in line. Free cheese? Yes please. As you can imagine, there was a long line of people waiting, and with the store being small, we were sent in in small groups. Couple people come out, couple people go in. As the line shortens and you get to the counter. You're given your free cheese, and asked what type of cheese you like. I gave my favorites, soft cheese, like brie, hard cheese, like manchego I like spicy cheese like hatched chili cheese or a jalapeño cheese. So after giving some examples of cheese that I like the gentleman helping me brought out three different samples and we tried them together and loved every one of them so I chose which ones I liked out of the three and then we moved down the counter a little bit, and the gentleman brought out another selection of three cheeses, and I tried those and told him which ones I liked, and they were all phenomenal. The gentleman that helped me was very attentive. He listened. he gave examples exactly what I was asking for and it was absolutely beautiful experience. even though they were packed and crazy and had 100 people waiting outside. He just treated me like we were just one on one. He took his time with me. I thought it was such a spectacular experience very personable. I walked out with 5 different cheeses. A bar of orange chocolate with dried cherries. And a baguette. And let me tell you, I ate so good during our Texas ice storm 2026! So here's the down side. Parking. There are like 8 parking spots in front. And a couple parking in the back. But beyond the back, there is a small pay with a QR code parking. It's a bit of a struggle as far as parking goes. There is no street parking. But I'm sure when you're not dealing with 100 customers it's not as much of a struggle. There are 2 accessible parking spots out front. Had a great experience. And will come back again.
